 Inspection, maintenance and repairs should be carried out in a professional manner. Owners should ensure that this is done and that the necessary skills, equipment and spares are available.

Annual testing of the vehicle space ventilation system should be conducted by the ship's safety delegate.

Third party testing of the vehicle space ventilation system should be undertaken before entry into service of a new ship and at periodical intervals of 5 years thereafter.
