Details

This database lists MCA accepted (UK approved) service stations of SOLAS Standard Inflatable Life Saving Appliances (LSA). The list of products for which the station is authorised to service is only indicative and may change between annual MCA inspections. It’s the responsibility of the vessel owner / operator to ensure that SOLAS Inflatable LSA is serviced at a competent, approved servicing station which:

  • is authorised to service the particular product make/type,
  • is accepted by the MCA which demonstrates compliance with IMO Res. A.761(18) to maintain proper servicing facilities,
  • uses only properly trained personnel (evidence of personnel authorisation certification by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).

The operation and maintenance manual will also include a list of authorised service stations where the ship operator can request relevant services.

Further details are contained in MGN 548 (M+F) Inflatable SOLAS certificated liferafts, lifejackets, marine evacuation systems and repair of inflated rescue boats.
