uscg approval
Friend of mine is interested in obtaining uscg approval for his ship.
Does this process sound about right?: http://www.uscg.mil/hq/g-m/mse/lablist/lablist.html U. S. Coast Guard Accepted Independent Laboratory Database Preliminary equipment assessment; all equipment must be tested though one of these independent laboratories and a "follow up" agreement must be conducted. You may also request a "wheelmark" from the Coast Guard which is an accreditation that is required for equipment placed on board ships for which safety certificates are issued by, or on behalf of, Member States of the European Union. The "follow ups" comply with the quality control system required by 5.2.2 of the FTP code. U. S. Flag vessels must be marked with USCG approval number. The mentioned "wheelmark" is required for European Vessels. http://cgmix.uscg.mil/Equipment/Sear...entSearch.aspx This site has an "Approved Equipment Listing" which can be used to find USCG approved equipment as specified by the MRA. So basically we need to get the equipment tested by and independent laboratory, schedule a follow up, and then wait and see if we're approved? Is it that simple? (I doubt it) Any information you can pass my way would be much appreciated. Thanks. |
