1.1.1 It is the
responsibility of the Government of the flag state to give effect
to the fire safety measures applicable to the particular ship type.
However, Lloyd’s Register (hereinafter referred to as ‘LR’)
will undertake to do this in cases where:
-
Contracting Governments
have authorised LR to apply the requirements specified by that Government
and issue the appropriate certification on their behalf; or
-
the Government of
the Flag State has no relevant National requirements.
1.1.2 When implementing
the provisions of Pt 6, Ch 3, 1.1 General 1.1.1.(b),
LR will apply as appropriate either:
- the fire safety measures required by European Standard laying down
Technical Requirements for Inland Navigation vessels (ES-TRIN); or
- the fire safety measures required by European Agreement concerning
the international carriage of dangerous goods by Inland Waterways
(ADN).
However, due consideration will be given to arrangements deemed
to provide an equivalent level of fire safety, taking due cognisance
of the circumstances of the intended service of the vessel.
