This practice is a consolidated source for muster list requirements, combiningrequirements from all of the subparts of the Code of Federal Regulations listed above and SOLAS1974 as amended through 1996.1. Scope1.1 This practice sets forth the elements to be included in anemergency muster

6、t to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.
