Interpretation

Procedure for verification of application of the PSPC

  1 The verification requirements of PSPC 7 should be carried out by the Administration.

  2 Monitoring implementation of the coating inspection requirements, as called for in PSPC 7.5 means checking, on a sampling basis, that the inspectors are using the correct equipment, techniques and reporting methods as described in the inspection procedures reviewed by the Administration.

  3 Any deviations found under 2 should be raised initially with the coating inspector, who is responsible for identifying and implementing the corrective actions.

  4 In the event that corrective actions are not acceptable to the Administration or in the event that corrective actions are not carried out, then the shipyard should be informed.

  5 A Passenger Ship Safety Certificate or Cargo Ship Safety Certificate or Cargo Ship Safety Construction Certificate, as appropriate, should not be issued until all required corrective actions have been carried out to the satisfaction of the Administration.
