1221 Validity of type approval certification for Marine Products

Validity of type approval certification for Marine Products

  1. The Maritime Safety Committee, at its eighty-second session (29 November to 8 December 2006), recognized concerns that misunderstanding may exist among port State control officers regarding some of the Type Approval certificates issued for marine products.

  2. To clarify the purpose and procedures of the Type Approval certification scheme used by the flag States, classification societies and other recognized bodies; the Committee agreed that such scheme include the following steps:

  1. engineering evaluation;

  2. witnessing the manufacturing and testing processes;

  3. evaluating the manufacturing arrangements; and

  4. issuing of a Type Approval Certificate generally valid for not more than 5 years which may be subject to annual inspections or verification of the manufacturer’s process after all the above-mentioned procedures have been satisfactorily completed.

  • The Committee also agreed that the validity of the Type Approval Certificate itself has no influence on the operational validity of a product accepted and installed onboard a ship and that a product manufactured during the period of validity of the relevant Type Approval Certificate need not be renewed or replaced due to expiration of such Type Approval Certificate.

  • Member Governments are invited to bring this decision to the attention of the national Authorities in charge of port State control activities and all other parties concerned.
