When authorised to issue an International Certificate of Fitness, LR will
also be required to verify that the Ship Survival Capability and Location of Cargo
Tanks requirements contained in Chapter 2 and the fire protection and
fire-extinction requirements contained in Chapter 11 and personnel protection
requirements contained in Chapter 14 have been complied with in addition to
classification requirements. On request, such investigations can also be carried out
for or on behalf of a National Authority which has not authorised LR to issue an
International Certificate of Fitness. When requested LR will also issue a Statement
of Compliance with respect to all or part of the IGC Code for the purpose of
confirming to National Authorities that the ship complies fully with the applicable
requirements, as interpreted by LR.
