14.1.1 New
engine types or developments of existing types are to be subjected
to an agreed programme of type testing to complement the design appraisal
and review of documentation.
14.1.2 Requirements
for type testing of engines are contained within the Lloyd’s
Register Type Approval System, Test Specification No. 4 – Reciprocating
Internal Combustion Engines and Associated Ancillary Equipment.
In all cases the type test specification is to be agreed with LR.
14.1.3 Type
testing specifications for other auxiliary systems are to be submitted
for approval if they are to be tested separately from the engine.
14.1.4 Wherever
practical, type tests are to be conducted with the engine control
systems operational in the approved configuration, see
Pt 5, Ch 2, 1.4 Submission requirements and Pt 5, Ch 2, 4.3 Control engineering systems 4.3.2. Configuration management documents that satisfy the
requirements of ISO 10007 or an equivalent national or international
standard, are to be reviewed at testing for validity and referenced
in the type test report.
14.1.5 In
addition to type testing against the requirements of Test Specification
No. 4, engines may also be submitted for approval against recognised
international or national standards. Where this additional testing
and appraisal is carried out satisfactorily it will be stated on the
Type Approval Certificate.
14.1.6 A type test carried out for a particular type of engine at any place of manufacture will
be accepted for all engines of the same type built by the licensee or the licensor,
subject to each place of manufacture being found to meet LR requirements for conformity
of production.
