The types of survey used in the harmonized system are as
follows:
(I) 2.1
An initial survey is a complete
inspection before a ship is put into service of all the items relating
to a particular certificate, to ensure that the relevant requirements
are complied with and that these items are satisfactory for the service
for which the ship is intended.
(P) 2.2
A periodical survey is an
inspection of the items relating to the particular certificate to
ensure that they are in a satisfactory condition and fit for the service
for which the ship is intended.
(R) 2.3
A renewal survey is the same
as a periodical survey but also leads to the issue of a new certificate.
(In) 2.4
An intermediate survey is
an inspection of specified items relevant to the particular certificate
to ensure that they are in a satisfactory condition and fit for the
service for which the ship is intended.
(A) 2.5
An annual survey is a general
inspection of the items relating to the particular certificate to
ensure that they have been maintained and remain satisfactory for
the service for which the ship is intended.
(B) 2.6
An inspection of the outside of
the ship's bottom is an inspection of the underwater part of
the ship and related items to ensure that they are in a satisfactory
condition and fit for the service for which the ship is intended.
(Ad) 2.7
An additional survey is
an inspection, either general or partial according to the circumstances,
to be made after a repair resulting from investigations or whenever
any important repairs or renewals are made.
