PREFACE
Standards for Defence
Requirements for Accommodation in HM Surface Warships and Submarines
a.
This standard provides requirements for accommodation in HM Surface Warships and
Submarines.
b.
This standard has been produced on behalf of the Defence Materiel Standardization
Committee (DMSC) by the Defence Procurement Agency, Sea Technology Group (STG).
c.
This standard has been agreed by the authorities concerned with its use and is intended
to be used whenever relevant in all future designs, contracts, orders etc. and whenever
practicable by amendment to those already in existence. If any difficulty arises which
prevents application of the Defence Standard, the Directorate of Standardization (DStan)
shall be informed so that a remedy may be sought.
d.
Any enquiries regarding this standard in relation to an invitation to tender or a
contract in which it is incorporated are to be addressed to the responsible technical or
supervising authority named in the invitation to tender or contract.
e.
Compliance with this Defence Standard shall not in itself relieve any person from any
legal obligations imposed upon them.
f.
This standard has been devised solely for the use of the Ministry of Defence (MOD)
and its contractors in the execution of contracts for the MOD. To the extent permitted by
law, the MOD hereby excludes all liability whatsoever and howsoever arising (including,
but without limitation, liability resulting from negligence) for any loss or damage however
caused when the standard is used for any other purpose.

INTRODUCTION
0.1
Background information
This Defence Standard has been revised to reflect changes to MOD nomenclature due to the
ongoing MOD reorganization and changes to technical requirements.
0.2
Process for use of this standard
This standard is based on the functional accommodation needs of ships’ complements and is
intended to encourage innovative and flexible design solutions. The main purpose of this
standard is to promote the realization of future naval vessels with accommodation that
reflects the physical and social needs of the personnel that use it.
The standard is to be used as the baseline document by MOD (customer) and contractors
(designers and builders) in the development of Systems Requirement Documentation (SRD)
and User Requirements Documents (URD) under the UK Government Smart Procurement
Initiative (SPI) when specifying accommodation for naval platforms.
0.3
Categories of Naval Defence Standard
This Naval Defence Standard has been classified as a Category 2 standard, using the
following criteria:
a.
b.
c.
Category 1. If not applied may have a critical effect on the safety of the
vessel, and/or its complement, and/or third parties.
Category 2. If not applied may have a significant effect on the safety of the
vessel, and/or its complement, and/or third parties.
Category 3. If not applied may have a minor effect on MOD best practice
and fleet commonality, and/or corporate experience and knowledge, and/or
current support practice.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
SCOPE
This standard specifies requirements for provision, design and fitting out of
Accommodation spaces and Associated Compartments in HM Surface Ships and
Submarines.
For the purposes of this standard, accommodation spaces and associated compartments refer
to dedicated accommodation areas which contain sleeping cabins, dining rooms, recreation
spaces, passageways, lobbies, physical exercise areas, personal training and education areas,
libraries, quiet rooms and religious spaces.
As a function of the accommodation requirements, the requirement for, and location of,
sanitary facilities are also covered in this standard. These sanitary facilities include
washbasins, toilets, bathrooms and shower rooms. The detailed design requirements for
sanitation facilities are covered in Def Stan 02-120.
Other areas associated with ship’s complement accommodation requirements are referred to
but are not covered by this standard as they fall outside the scope of the accommodation
described above. Requirements for these other spaces are covered in other standards and
include Galleys and Associated Spaces (Def Stan 02-121) and Laundries and Associated
Compartments (Def Stan 02-123).
2
WARNING
The Ministry of Defence, like its contractors, is subject to both United Kingdom and
European laws regarding Health and Safety at Work, without exemption. All Defence
Standards either directly or indirectly invoke the use of processes and procedures that could
be injurious to health if adequate precautions are not taken. Defence Standards or their use
in no way absolve users from complying with statutory and legal requirements relating to
Health and Safety at Work.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
a.
b.
c.
Primary Accommodation (see Annex B.1) shall be provided for the specified
complement of the platform including margins for training staff and other sea
riders, and embarked military forces on specified vessels, in accordance with
the requirements and guidance contained within this Defence Standard.
Secondary Accommodation (see Annex B.1), additional to that provided for
the specified complement of the platform shall also be provided as required in
the SRD/URD. The purpose of secondary accommodation is to provide an
additional accommodation capability for alternative platform roles. These
alternative roles may include the transport and accommodation of additional
embarked military forces and/or the rescue and evacuation of civilians during
humanitarian operations.
The use of modular construction techniques for compartments and furniture is
for example, desirable in order to facilitate re-configuring the accommodation
to meet changing ships’ complement profiles at Clause 6a. above, or to
enable alternative platform roles at Clause 6b. above. Changes to the
specified complement may be caused, for example, by changes to a ship’s
complement gender mix.

Table 2
DESIGN REQUIREMENTS / GUIDANCE
(Continued)
NOTE 1
In large surface warships the requirement for, and location of, an Operational
Commander sea cabin (CTG staff officer or admiral), Commander Air sea cabin for use
during air operations, and Commanding Officer sea cabin is to be identified in the
SRD/URD.
NOTE 2
The CTU cabin suite on medium-sized warships is to be located in close
proximity to the Commanding Officer accommodation such that the en-suite bathroom can
be shared when both suites are occupied.
NOTE 3
The area standards quoted in this Table are by themselves of little value
unless associated with an appropriate shape fit for the functions of the respective
compartments. To arrive at the most convenient shapes it is necessary to examine the
dimensions and scales of allowances of furniture and fittings for any given space in order
that optimum overall dimensions are achieved. It is appreciated that compartment shapes
are often dictated by other shipbuilding considerations but it is essential, at a very early
stage of any new design, to ensure that all compartments are of a suitable shape to permit a
practical layout. The maximum ratio of length to breadth shall be 2:1 for accommodation
compartments.
NOTE 4
In determining the floor area of a compartment for the purpose of this
standard, spaces occupied by bunks, lockers, seats or chests of drawers and other furniture
shall be included in the measurement of the floor area. However, spaces that by reason of
their small size or irregular shape cannot accommodate furniture and do not contribute to
the area available for free movement shall not be so included.
NOTE 5
When calculating total accommodation areas, designers and shipbuilders will
need to include an allowance for lobbies, corridors, passageways and access openings.
NOTE 6
The allowance areas given in this Table are nett areas and indicate the
required space per individual/function to be factored-in to the accommodation. Designers
and shipbuilders will need to apply a grossing calculation to these figures to allow for
unusable space at the boundaries created by structural elements or other factors caused by
equipment not related to accommodation. An indicative grossing allowance of 7.5% is
provided as guidance for calculating gross allowance areas.
NOTE 7
All washing and shower cubicles, and WC units are to be gender-neutral.
NOTE 8
It is desirable that the layout of washing and shower cubicles, and toilets (wet

ANTHROPOMETRICS MEASUREMENT
C.1 Anthropometrics Measurement
This Annex contains extracts from INM Technical Report No 96045 - Bunk Spaces - A
review of previous work & recommendations for future design, issued in November 1996.
This report is a review of the Institute of Naval Medicine’s previous considerations of bunk
dimensions for Royal Naval personnel and a summary of its recommendations.
C.2 Summary of the Report recommendations
a.
b.
c.
d.
Bunk length should be 2087mm (2038mm minimum).
Bunk width should be 859mm (816mm minimum).
Vertical bunk separation should be 1015mm (991mm minimum).
Horizontal bunk separation should be 800mm (minimum).
C.3 Summary of the Report rationale
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
INM undertook to ‘Review the bunk spaces studies carried out by INM and
make recommendations’.
These studies consisted of loose minutes to DGSS over the period 1989 to
1993. The review took cognisance of the relevant communications in
chronological order so as to determine any historical development.
The most important development which took place in that period, and which
had a significant influence on recommendations for bunk design, was the
publication of a further INM Report (INM Report No 18/90, An
Anthropometric Survey of 1333 Royal Naval Personnel 1986-1990). This
report provided a solid basis of body dimensions for the user population,
around which equipment and clothing has since been designed.
Past considerations surrounding the degree of comfort to be provided by an
individual’s bunk space have included not only the percentage of the size
range of the user population, but also the range of activities to be
accommodated in addition to sleeping, i.e. resting, reading (whilst sitting up),
writing, dressing, and so on, as well as the allowances which could be made
for different sleeping postures.
Each of these bunk space studies was reviewed in turn and the
recommendations summarised as at Clause C.2 above.
C.4 Recommendations for future design
The following recommendations are based on data from the INM anthropometrics
survey of male Royal Navy personnel, published in October 1990. To the basic
measurements are added appropriate adjustments in order to arrive at the
recommended dimensions. Earlier recommendations were based on 95%-ile
measurements; however, as the figure implies, a 95%-ile measurement excludes 5 in
every 100 personnel. It is strongly recommended, therefore, that attempts be made
to accommodate 99% of the user population where possible.
Recommended bunk sizes are given in Table C.1 and Table C.2 below.

The recommended vertical and horizontal bunk separation distances are given at subparagraphs C.4.1 and C.4.2.
C.4.1
Vertical bunk separation (in mm)
a.
b.
c.
It is recommended that the vertical distance between top of mattress and
underside of bunk or other obstacle above the bunk should be sufficient to
allow the occupants of the bunks to sit upright.
The INM Survey ’90 gives sitting height as 981mm for 95%-ile and 1005mm
for 99%-ile. To these values should be added 10mm for head clearance and,
say, half the secular allowance for the full body length, i.e. 20 mm between
1990 and 2030. On the other hand, allowance can be made for the
compression of the mattress under the occupant, say 20 mm.
After all the allowances are taken into account, the following
recommendation emerges:
