2.7 Scale-up consideration

 Only full-scale marine equipment should be accepted for test purposes. Administrations may certify a range of the manufacturer's equipment sizes employing the same principles and technology, but due consideration must be given to limitations on performance which might arise from scaling up. In the case of large or unique equipment, certification may be based on results of prototype equipment tests. Where possible confirmatory tests should be performed on the final installation of such equipment.
