ANNEX A.1 EQUIPMENT FOR WHICH DETAILED TESTING STANDARDS ALREADY EXIST IN INTERNATIONAL INSTRUMENTS
Notes applicable to the whole of Annex A.1:
(a)General: in addition to the testing standards specifically mentioned, a number of provisions, which must be checked during type-examination (type approval) as referred to in the modules for conformity assessment in Annex B, are to be found in the applicable requirements of the international conventions and the relevant resolutions and circulars of the IMO.
(b)Column 1: Article 2 of Commission Directive 2009/26/EC(1) may apply.
(c)Column 1: Article 2 of Commission Directive 2010/68/EU(2) may apply.
(d)Column 5: Where IMO Resolutions are cited, only the testing standards contained in relevant parts of the Annexes to the Resolutions are applicable and exclude the provisions of the Resolutions themselves.
(e)Column 5: International conventions and testing standards apply in their up-to-date version. For the purpose of identifying correctly the relevant standards, test reports, certificates of conformity and declarations of conformity shall identify the specific testing standard applied and its version.
(f)Column 5: Where two sets of identifying standards are separated by “or”, each set fulfils all the testing requirements to meet IMO Performance Standards; thus testing to one of these sets is sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of the relevant International Instruments. Conversely, when other separators (comma) are used all the listed references apply.
(g)Column 6: Where module H appears, module H plus design-examination certificate is to be understood.
(h)The requirements laid down in this Annex shall be without prejudice to carriage requirements in the international conventions.
1. Life-saving appliances
Column 4: IMO MSC/Circular 980 should apply except when superseded by the specific instruments referred to in Column 4.
2. Marine pollution prevention
3. Fire protection equipment
4. Navigation equipment
Notes applicable to section 4: Navigation equipment.
Column 5: Wherever reference is made to EN 61162 series or IEC 61162 series, the intended item layout shall be taken into account to determine the applicable standard of EN 61162 series or IEC 61162 series.
5. Radiocommunication equipment
Notes applicable to section 5: Radiocommunication equipment.
Column 5: In case of conflicting requirements between IMO MSC/Circ.862 and the product testing standards, the IMO MSC/Circ.862 requirements shall take precedence.
Wherever reference is made to EN 61162 series or IEC 61162 series, the intended item layout shall be taken into account to determine the applicable standard of EN 61162 series or IEC 61162 series.
