5.9 Environmental testing of the sewage treatment plant

  5.9.1 The Administration should ensure that the sewage treatment plant can operate under conditions of tilt consistent with internationally acceptable shipboard practice up to 22.5º in any plane from the normal operating position.

  5.9.2 Tests for certification should be carried out over the range of salinity and the range of temperatures for ambient air and flush water specified by the manufacturer, and the Administration should be satisfied that such specifications are adequate for the conditions under which the equipment must operate.

  5.9.3 Control and sensor components should be subjected to environmental testing to verify their suitability for marine use. The Test Specifications section in part 3 of the annex to the Revised Guidelines and Specifications for Pollution Prevention Equipment for Machinery Space Bilges of Ships (resolution MEPC.107(49)) provides guidance in this respect.

  5.9.4 Any limitation on the conditions of operation should be recorded on the certificate.

  5.9.5 The Administration should also consider requiring the manufacturer to include in the operating and maintenance manuals, a list of chemicals and materials suitable for use in the operation of the sewage treatment plant.
