Title: Revision to Inflatable Life Raft Approval: SOLAS 74/83 (CGD 85-205) | |
Abstract: This project establishes approval requirements for inflatable life rafts complying with the 1974 Safety of Life At Sea (SOLAS) Convention, as amended, as well as adds provisions for approval of Coastal Service inflatable life rafts and inflatable buoyant apparatus for use on certain vessels not subject to SOLAS. The project improves the seaworthiness of inflatable life rafts by specifying minimum requirements for life raft stability. Finally, the project revises the requirements for inspections of life raft production and servicing to reduce direct Coast Guard involvement and the associated burden on Coast Guard resources, while increasing manufacturers' flexibility in scheduling inspections. | |
