LR Statutory Alert
Lloyd’s Register has issued Statutory Alert summarizing the requirements of revised IMO guidelines for maintenance and inspection of fire protection systems and appliances.
LR has created a summary table and also a document which contains other tables summarizing the SOLAS requirements for ‘Servicing, Inspections & Testing of Life-Saving Appliances, Radio & Navigation Equipment’ and ‘On-board Training, Drills and Inspections of Fire Appliances & Life-Saving Appliances’.
Owners and operators of new and existing ships should ensure maintenance, servicing and testing of safety equipment and on-board training, drills and inspections are carried out in accordance with the requirements summarised in the tables. If the vessel’s flag administration has issued related instructions, these are to be taken into account.
