The Marine Environment Protection Committee,

 RECALLING Article 38(a) of the Convention on the International Maritime Organization concerning the function of the Committee,

 RECALLING ALSO that Annex V of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973, as modified by the Protocol of 1978 relating thereto (MARPOL 73/78), provides regulations for the prevention of pollution by garbage from ships,

 RECOGNIZING that the Conference of Parties to MARPOL 73/78, held in September 1997, adopted the Protocol of 1997 to amend MARPOL 73/78 with the addition of a new Annex VI on the Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships,

 RECOGNIZING ALSO that the Committee, at its fortieth session, adopted resolution MEPC.76(40) - Standard Specification for Shipboard Incinerators,

 BEING AWARE that the regulation 16(2)(a) on shipboard incinerators within Annex VI to MARPOL 73/78 requires that all shipboard incinerators installed on board ships on or after 1 January 2000 comply with the relevant operating limits as specified in Appendix VI of Annex VI to MARPOL 73/78 and are approved by the Administration based on the requirements contained in resolution MEPC.76(40) on Standard Specification for Shipboard Incinerators,

 ALSO BEING AWARE that while this requirement cannot be enforced before the entry into force of the Protocol of 1997, it is clearly understood that incinerators installed on ships on or after 1 January 2000 will have to meet these requirements once the Protocol of 1997 enters into force,

 HAVING CONSIDERED the need to simplify the verification of compliance with regulation 16(2) of Annex VI, once the Protocol of 1997 enters into force,

  1 ADOPTS the amendments to the Form of IMO Type Approval Certificate for Shipboard Incinerators with Capacities of up to 1,500 kW, as set out in annex to this resolution;

  2 URGES Administrations to take into consideration the introductory statement when issuing certificates in accordance with Annex VI of MARPOL 63/78, whether or not the type approval certificate was issued by their Administration or organization acting on their behalf, or by other Governments; and

  3 INVITES Administrations to inform the Organization of those incinerators that have been type approved in accordance with resolution MEPC.76(40), and their dates of approval.
