Detail
This consultation is for a new marine guidance note (MGN) that replaces the marine guidance note, MGN 499. This MGN provides guidance on the MCA policy with regards to the acceptable standards of non-SOLAS inflatable life-saving appliances (LSA) for use on certain UK registered commercial vessels. It also sets the process for servicing requirements for such LSA that should be regularly serviced at a service station in accordance with instructions from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM).
