4 Surveys of Ships Prior to Entry into Force of the Convention

  4.1 Prior to the entry into force of the Convention, an Administration may conduct surveys of ships in accordance with these guidelines, and may then issue a statement of compliance to that effect.

  4.2 Ships capable of documenting full compliance with the Convention through such a statement of compliance may be issued with a certificate on that basis upon entry into force of the Convention, subject to any additional requirements by the Administration. For the certificate to be issued, it may not be necessary for the ships to prepare the visual/sampling check plan required by regulation 5.2 of the annex to the Convention if the Inventory of Hazardous Materials has been developed in accordance with the process stipulated in either paragraph 4.1 or 4.2 of the 2011 Guidelines for the Development of the Inventory of Hazardous Materials and has been verified through the process of issuing the statement of compliance.
