ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

China Classification Society

Okay kiddo, do you remember how we have rules and regulations at school to help us stay safe and learn better? Well, companies that make boats and ships also have rules they need to follow to make sure their ships are safe for people to travel on and carry cargo. China Classification Society (CCS) is a group of experts who make these rules for ships in China.

The CCS experts check the design and construction of the ships to make sure they meet the safety requirements. They also inspect the ships regularly to make sure they are still safe to travel on. Imagine if we had inspectors come to our school to make sure everything is safe and works well!

CCS also makes sure that the ships are following the environmental regulations, which means they are not causing harm to the air or the ocean while they are traveling.

In short, CCS is like a big group of teachers who make rules for China's ships and make sure they follow them to keep everyone safe and healthy.
