SHIPBORNE EQUIPMENT TO BE OF A TYPE APPROVED BY THE ADMINISTRATION
Regulation V/19-1.6 specifies that the shipboard equipment
to be used to transmit LRIT information (shipborne equipment)
shall be of a type approved by the Administration.
Compliance of the shipborne equipment with the requirements
of regulations V/19-1.6 and V/19-1.7 and of section 4 of the
revised performance standards should be demonstrated by the
equipment being:
- of a type approved by the Administration in accordance
with the provisions of regulation V/19-1; or
- of a type approved by the Administration in accordance
with the provisions of regulation IV/14 and satisfactorily
completing a conformance test in accordance with the procedures
and provisions set out in appendix 1; or
- certified by the Administration as meeting the requirements
of IEC 60945 (2002-08) and IEC 60945 Corr.1 (2008-04) on
Maritime navigation and radio communication equipment and
systems – General requirements – Methods of
testing and required test results and satisfactorily completing
a conformance test in accordance with the procedures and
provisions set out in appendix 1; or
- certified by the Administration as meeting the requirements
of the provisions of regulation XI-2/6; and the provisions
of either resolution MSC.136(76) on Performance standards
for a ship security alert system or of resolution MSC.147(77)
on Adoption of the Revised performance standards for a ship
security alert system; and the provisions of section 4 of
the Revised performance standards; and satisfactorily completing
a conformance test in accordance with the procedures and
provisions set out in appendix 1.
Transfer of flag
When a ship is transferred to the flag of another Contracting
Government, the Conformance test report should be considered
as remaining valid if the ASP which conducted the conformance
test is also either a recognized ASP or an authorized testing
ASP by the Contracting Government to whose flag the ship is
transferred.
In such cases the ASP concerned should reissue the Conformance
test report on behalf of the Administration concerned henceforth
indicating the new particulars of the ship but without altering
the date of completion of the conformance test.
In cases where the Conformance test report is deemed to be
no longer valid, due to the transfer of the flag to another
Contracting Government, a new conformance test should be conducted,
prior to the issue of a certificate, by either a recognized
ASP or an authorized testing ASP acting on behalf of the Administration
concerned.
