38、onal Life-Saving Appliance (LSA) Code, the Revised Recommendation on Testing of Life-Saving Appliances and the Code of Practice for the Evaluation, Testing and Acceptance of Prototype Novel Life-Saving Appliances.The International Life-Saving Appliance (LSA) Code was adopted by IMOs Maritime Safety

39、Committee (MSC) at its 66th session (June 1996) by resolution MSC.48(66). It provides international requirements for the life-saving appliances required by chapter III of the 1974 SOLAS Convention, including personal life-saving appliances like lifebuoys, lifejackets, immersion suits, anti-exposure

40、suits and thermal protective aids; visual aids, such as parachute flares, hand flares and buoyant smoke signals; survival craft, such as liferafts and lifeboats; rescue boats; launching and embarkation appliances and marine evacuation systems line throwing appliances; and general alarm and public ad

41、dress systems.The Code was made mandatory by resolution MSC.47(66) under SOLAS regulation III/3.10, whereby regulation III/34 determines that all life-saving appliances and arrangements shall comply with its requirements. The Code entered into force on 1 July 1998 and has been amended in accordance

42、with SOLAS Article VIII as follows:.1 by the May 2006 amendments, which were adopted by resolution MSC.207(81) and entered into force on 1 July 2010;.2 by the December 2006 amendments, which were adopted by resolution MSC.218(82) and entered into force on 1 July 2008; .3 by the December 2008 amendme

45、6 by the May 2014 amendments, which were adopted by resolution MSC.368(93) and entered into force on 1 January 2016.The consolidated text of the LSA Code in the present publication incorporates the above six sets of amendments.Recommendations on the testing of life-saving appliances were first adopt

46、ed by the IMO Assembly in 1991, by resolution A.689(17). In 1998, the MSC, recognizing the need to introduce more precise requirements for the testing of life-saving appliances and recalling that it had amended the recommendations on several occasions since their adoption, adopted the Revised Recomm

47、endation on Testing of Life-Saving Appliances (resolution MSC.81(70), effectively replacing resolution A.689(17). Since then, the Revised Recommendations have again been amended several times, in the main corresponding to the associated LSA Code amendments described above, and the present publicatio

48、n contains the consolidated text including the amendments adopted by MSC 80 (resolution MSC.200(80), MSC 82 (resolution MSC.226(82), MSC 85 (resolution MSC.274(85), MSC 87 (resolution MSC.295(87), MSC 89 (resolution MSC.321(89), MSC 89 (resolution MSC.323(89) (and its corrigendum), and MSC 93 (resol

49、ution MSC.378(93).The Code of practice for the evaluation, testing and acceptance of prototype novel life-saving appliances and arrangements, adopted by the Assembly in 1983 by resolution A.520(13), is intended to cater for prototype novel life-saving appliances and arrangements which may be developed, and do not fully meet the requirements of chapter III of the 1974 SOLAS Convention, but provide the same or higher safety standards.IE982E
