Chapter 2 Requirements relating to equipment, conformity assessment, marking, etc. 7 Requirements relating to equipment (1) Equipment listed in Appendix A which is placed on board on or after 1 January 1999 shall comply with the relevant requirements of international instruments. (2) Conformity with the relevant requirements of conventions and relevant IMO resolutions and circulars shall be established solely with reference to the relevant testing standards and con-formity-assessment procedures set out in Appendix A. Where both IEC and ETSI testing standards are given, those standards shall be considered to be alternatives. The manufacturer or the manufacturer s representative within the EEA may then decide the standard to be used. (3) Equipment marked in accordance with 9 or which otherwise fulfils the requirements of these regulations can be freely marketed or placed on board a ship. 8 Conformity-assessment procedures (1) Conformity-assessment procedures as set out in Appendix B include an EC type-examination (module B). In addition, according to the choice made by the manufacturer or the manufacturer s representative from the possibilities set out in Appendix A, all equipment shall be subject to: a) the EC declaration of conformity to type (module C), b) the EC declaration of conformity to type (production-quality assurance) (module D), c) the EC declaration of conformity to type (product-quality assurance) (module E), d) the EC declaration of conformity to type (product verification) (module F), or f) EC full-quality assurance (module H).

4 (2) Where sets of equipment are produced individually or in small quantities and not in series or in mass, the conformity-assessment procedure may be EC unit verification (module G). (3) To confirm that equipment and components fulfil the requirements of these regulations, the manufacturer or the manufacturer s representative shall produce a written declaration of conformity to type as described in Appendix B. 9 Marking (1) Equipment complying with the relevant international instruments and manufactured in accordance with the requirements of 8 shall be marked by the manufacturer or the manufacturer s representative in accordance with Appendix D. The mark shall be affixed at the end of the manufacturing period. (2) The mark shall be followed by the identification number of the Notified Body which has performed the conformity assessment, if that body is involved in the production-control phase, and by the last two digits of the number of the year in which the mark is affixed. (3) The mark shall be affixed to the equipment or to its data plate so as to be visible, legible and indelible throughout the anticipated useful life of the equipment. Where that is not possible or reasonable due to the nature of the equipment, it shall be affixed to the packaging of the product, to a label or to a leaflet. (4) No marking or inscriptions which are likely to mislead with regard to the meaning or the graphics of the mark shall be affixed. 10 Technical innovation (1) The Norwegian Maritime Directorate or whoever is authorized by the Norwegian Maritime Directorate may, in exceptional circumstances of technical innovation, depart from the provision of 7. The equipment may be permitted to be placed on board if it is established by trial or otherwise that such equipment is at least as effective as equipment which does comply with the conformity assessment procedures. Such trial procedures shall in no way discriminate between equipment produced in Norway and equipment produced in other EEA countries. (2) Equipment covered by this provision shall be given a certificate which gives permission for the equipment to be placed on board the ship and imposes any restrictions or lays down any provisions relating to the use of the equipment. The certificate shall be carried on board and with the equipment. 11 Trial and evaluation of equipment (1) The Norwegian Maritime Directorate or whoever is authorized by the Norwegian Maritime Directorate may, for the purpose of trial and evaluation, permit equipment which does not comply with the conformity-assessment procedures and which is not covered by 10 to be placed on board. (2) Such equipment shall be provided with a certificate which gives permission to place the equipment on board and imposes any restrictions or lays down any provisions relating to the use of the equipment. The permission shall only be given for a short and limited period of time and shall at all times be carried with the equipment. (3) Such equipment as is permitted to be placed on board under this provision may not replace equipment required to be carried on board according to international instruments. 12 Replacement of equipment in a port outside the EEA (1) Where equipment needs to be replaced in a port outside the EEA and it is not possible to place EC typeapproved equipment on board within reasonable time, or where that would entail an unreasonable delay or cost, other equipment may be placed on board where: a) the equipment is accompanied by the documentation issued by a recognized organization from a non-eea country which is considered to be equivalent to a Notified Body. This provision presupposes that an agreement has been concluded between the EC or EFTA and the third country concerned on the mutual recognition of such organizations; b) should it prove impossible to comply with the requirements of subparagraph (a) above, the equipment must be accompanied by documentation issued by a third country which is a member state of the IMO and party to the relevant international convention(s). The documentation shall certify compliance with the relevant IMO requirements. The equipment may be placed on board subject to the provisions of the second paragraph.

5 (2) The company or the master shall inform the Norwegian Maritime Directorate at once of the nature of such other equipment and give a description of its characteristics. In addition, the circumstances causing such equipment to be placed on board shall be described in full. Amended by of 29 June 2007 No (in force on 1 July 2007). 13 Inspection of marketed equipment The Norwegian Maritime Directorate or whoever is authorized by the Norwegian Maritime Directorate may inspect equipment in the possession of vendors or other distributors in the market. 14 Withdrawal of equipment from the market, etc. The Norwegian Maritime Directorate or whoever is authorized by the Norwegian Maritime Directorate shall take such action as is necessary to withdraw the equipment or ban or prevent the equipment from being used on board ships where it is established by inspection or any other means that type-approved equipment can pose a threat to the safety of persons on board or cause marine pollution. 15 Documentation The Norwegian Maritime Directorate or whoever is authorized by the Norwegian Maritime Directorate may require the manufacturer of equipment or the manufacturer s representative to submit reports from the inspection or tests carried out in accordance with Appendix B. Chapter 3 Concluding provisions 16 Entry into force and transitional rules (1) These regulations enter into force on 1 January (2) Equipment described in Appendix A as «New item 2002» which is produced prior to 20 February 2002 may be placed on the market and on board until 20 February Equipment described in Appendix A as «New item 2003» which is produced prior to 23 March 2003, as well as items listed in sections 4 and 5 of Appendix A which are wheelmarked and produced prior to 23 March 2003, may be placed on the market and on board until 23 March (3) Equipment as mentioned in the second paragraph shall only refer to equipment that is wheel-marked, approved, type-approved or accepted by the Norwegian Maritime Directorate before the entry into force of these regulations. Amended by of 7 April 2003 No Appendix A Equipment for which detailed testing standards already exist in international instruments Amended by of 7 April 2003 No Notes applicable to the whole of Appendix A: General: In addition to the international testing standards specifically mentioned, a number of provisions, which must be checked during type-examination (type approval) as referred to in the modules for conformity assessment in Appendix B, are to be found in the relevant conventions. Column 2: For equipment described as «New item 2002» in this Appendix, reference is made to 17 of these regulations concerning the marketing and placing on board of equipment manufactured before 20 February 2002 in a transitional period.

6 For equipment described as «New item 2003» in this Appendix, reference is made to to 17 of these regulations concerning the marketing and placing on board of equipment manufactured before 23 March 2003 in a transitional period. Column 3: Where the item is described as «temporarily omitted», this means that the marking requirement does not apply. Such items are temporarily omitted from the list due to the fact that there are no international testing standards for them. When international testing standards have been prepared for any such item, the item and the marking requirement applicable thereto will be reintroduced. Column 3: The expression «item deleted» means the marking requirement no longer applies to the item concerned. Column 5: Where s are cited, only the testing standards contained in relevant parts of the Annexes to the Resolutions are applicable and exclude the provisions of the Resolutions themselves. Column 5: For the purpose of identifying correctly the relevant standards, the test reports and the appropriate typeapproval certificates shall specify the specific testing standard applied and its version, as identified in the column. Column 5: Where two sets of testing standards are indicated (separated by a» ;» or separated by a «or»), each set fulfils all the testing requirements to meet IMO Performance Standards. Thus testing to one set is sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of the relevant International Instruments. Column 6: Where module H appears, module H plus design-examination certificate is to be understood. 1. Life-saving appliances Notes applicable to this section 1 Life-saving appliances: Columns 3 and 4: Where these columns are split into two levels for a particular item designator, the upper level refers where applicable to vessels constructed under the HSC Code prior to 1 July 2002, and the lower box refers to vessels where applicable operating under the HSC Code on or after 1 July Col 1 Col 2 Col 3 Col 4 Col 5 Col 6 Item No Item designation SOLAS 74 as amended where typeapproval is required Applicable International regulations of testing standards SOLAS 74, as amended, and the relevant resolutions and circulars of the IMO Modules for conformity assessment B+C B+D B+E B+F G H 1.1 Lifebuoys /3. /3.

Appendix B Modules for conformity assessment EC TYPE-EAMINATION (MODULE B) 1. A notified body must ascertain and attest that a specimen, representative of the production envisaged, complies with the provisions of the international instruments that apply to it. 2. The application for the EC type-examination must be lodged by the manufacturer or manu-facturer s representative established within the European Economic Area with a notified body of his choice.

38 The application must include: the name and address of the manufacturer and, if the application is lodged by the manufac-turer s representative, his name and address as well, a written declaration that the same application has not been lodged simultaneously with any other notified body, the technical documentation as described in paragraph 3 below. The applicant must place at the disposal of the notified body a specimen, representative of the production envisaged and hereinafter called type 1. The notified body may request further specimens if needed for the test programme. 3. The technical documentation must make it possible to assess the product s compliance with the requirements of the relevant international instruments. It must, as far as is relevant for such assessment, cover the design, the building standard, manufacture, installation and functioning of the product in accordance with the description of technical documentation set down in the Appendix to Appendix B. 4. The notified body must: 4.1. examine the technical documentation and verify that the type has been manufactured in accordance with the technical documentation; 4.2. perform the appropriate examinations and necessary tests or have them performed to check whether the requirements of the relevant international instruments have actually been met; 4.3. agree with the applicant the location where the examinations and necessary tests will be carried out. 5. Where the type meets the provisions of the relevant international instruments, the notified body must issue an EC type-examination certificate to the applicant. The certificate must give the name and address of the manufacturer, details of the equipment, the conclusions of the examination, the conditions of its validity and the necessary data for identification of the approved type. 1 A type may cover several versions of the product provided that the differences between the versions do not affect the level of safety or the other requirements concerning the performance of the product. A list of the relevant parts of the technical documentation must be annexed to the certificate and a copy kept by the notified body. If a manufacturer is refused a type-certification, the notified body must give detailed reasons for that refusal. Where a manufacturer reapplies for type-approval for equipment for which a type-certificate has been refused, his submission to the notified body must include all relevant documentation, including the original test reports, the detailed reasons for the previous refusal and details of all modifications made to the equipment. 6. The applicant must inform the notified body that holds the technical documentation concerning the EC typeexamination certificate of all modifications to the approved product, which must receive additional approval where such changes may affect compliance with the requirements or the prescribed conditions for use of the product. Such additional approval must be given in the form of an addition to the original EC type-examination certificate. 7. Each notified body must, on request, provide flag Member State administrations and the other notified bodies with the relevant information concerning the EC type-examination certificates and additions issued and withdrawn. 8. The other notified bodies may receive copies of the EC type-examination certificates and/or their additions.
