4. What is I.A.C.S Doing?

  4.1 At the occasion of the Class Annual Survey a machinery and electrical plant survey is carried out as prescribed in Regulation 10 of the Protocol of 1978 relating to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974.

  4.2 The periodic surveys should mainly ensure that the standard to which the installation was originally built is maintained.

  4.3 The Surveyor can only assess the actual condition of the machinery space fittings at the time of survey. In between two inspections the proper maintenance must remain the owner's responsibility.

  4.4 A unified requirement has been prepared and approved by the Council of the Association during their May 1986 Meeting. This unified Requirement "Fire Protection of Machinery Spaces (New Ships)" is enclosed for reference.
