9.1 Survey and certification of compliance of ships

  9.1.1 Companies, with a view to ensuring the timely compliance of the ships they operate with the provisions of regulation V/19-1, should make the necessary arrangements for the conduct of the conformance tests set out in MSC.1/Circ.1257 well ahead of the date on which the survey of the radio installation, which determines the date on which the ship is required to comply with the provisions of regulation V/19-1, becomes due.

  9.1.2 Such an approach would enable the Companies to identify whether the shipborne equipment is capable of transmitting LRIT information and if not to make the necessary arrangements for the rectification of any hardware or software deficiencies.

  9.1.3 The conformance tests should be conducted by the ASPs which the Administration has recognized within the framework of the Revised performance standards and through which the ship will be transmitting LRIT information to the LRIT Data Centre identified by the Administration or the ASPs they have authorized to carry out conformance tests.
