1 Each engine, which will become subject to the
provisions of regulation 13.4 of the revised MARPOL Annex VI upon
its entry into force, should be certified in accordance with the requirements
of the NOx Technical Code 2008.
2 Pending entry into force of the revised MARPOL
Annex VI and upon satisfactory demonstration of compliance with the
NOx Technical Code 2008 requirements, a “Statement of Compliance”
with the NOx Technical Code 2008 should be issued by the Administration
or an organization acting on behalf of that Administration. Such a
Statement of Compliance should contain as a minimum the information
required by appendix 1 of the NOx Technical Code 2008.
3 The Statement of Compliance is intended as an
interim measure pending issuance of the Engine International Air Pollution
Prevention (EIAPP) Certificates upon entry into force of the NOx Technical
Code 2008.
4 Administrations are urged to take into consideration
the Statement of Compliance when issuing EIAPP Certificates in accordance
with the NOx Technical Code 2008, whether or not the Statement of
Compliance was issued by the Administration, or an organization acting
on behalf of that Administration, or by another Government.
