CommentaryInitial recommendations also included a recommendationfor submittal to Russian-Norwegiannational standards associations for issue regionalannex to ISO-19906. However, it is considered byRN01 that the report as delivered is best suited foruse by standardisation organisations and committeesas input for possible future updating of industrystandards, rather than as specific annex to theexisting ISO 19906.Furthermore it was initially recommended thatguidelines on arctic survival craft and emergencyresponse vessel should be developed and, dependingon the maturity of the outcome, be consideredimplemented as DNV Recommended Practices.RN04 concluded during their work that, standardsand suitable equipment for EER in Arctic and sub-Arctic conditions are not yet fully developed andthat this is still an area for further research anddevelopment. The report provides initial guidance inthese areas, however, not yet of a maturity suitablefor individual standardization documents.3.4. RN05 Human Factors3.4.1.
