3.2 Renewal survey

  3.2.1 A renewal survey should be carried out at intervals specified by the Administration not exceeding five years.

  3.2.2 Prior to the renewal survey, a request for the renewal survey should be submitted by the shipowner to the Administration or to a recognized organization along with the ship data required for the International Certificate on Inventory of Hazardous Materials as listed in paragraph 3.1.1.2 above.

  3.2.3 The request for a renewal survey should be supplemented by the latest version of part I of the Inventory of Hazardous Materials, and Material Declaration and Supplier's Declaration of Conformity regarding any change, replacement or significant repair of structure, equipment, systems, fittings, arrangements and material since the last survey.

  3.2.4 The survey should verify that part I of the Inventory of Hazardous Materials is properly maintained and updated to reflect changes in ship structure and equipment, by checking Material Declaration and Supplier's Declaration of Conformity, and should clarify that the ship complies with regulations 4 and 5 of the annex to the Convention. The survey should also verify that the Inventory of Hazardous Materials, especially the location of Hazardous Materials, is consistent with the arrangements, structure and equipment of the ship, through on-board visual inspection. The survey should further verify that any decision by the shipowner to delete equipment, system and/or area previously classed as "potentially containing hazardous materials" from Part I of the Inventory of Hazardous Materials is based on clear grounds for believing that the equipment, system and/or area in question contain no Hazardous Materials.

  3.2.5 A new International Certificate on Inventory of Hazardous Materials should be issued either by the Administration or by any person or organization authorized by it after successful completion of the renewal survey, in accordance with regulation 11 of the annex to the Convention.
