Description: Introduction
This Notice sets out the minimum level of maintenance and inspection for fire protection systems and appliances onboard Isle of Man registered ships. This information may be used as the basis for the ship’s onboard maintenance plan required by SOLAS regulation II-2/14.
This Notice has been developed taking into account various guidelines published by the International Maritime Organisation which are intended to ensure that fire systems are kept in good working order as specified in SOLAS Regulation II-2/14.2.1.2. These guidelines should be followed, although where particular arrangements create practical difficulties approval must be sought from the Ship Registry for an alternative testing and maintenance procedures. These guidelines do not preclude the shipowner from demonstrating an equivalent or higher standard as an “alternative method” of compliance.
For ease of reference a testing and inspection schedule has been set out in Appendix 1 of this Notice.
