22 Conditions of non-SOLAS certificates
For paragraph 100(2)(a) of the Navigation Act, a non-SOLAS certificate is subject to:
the conditions mentioned for the certificate specified in Schedule 2; and
the requirement for the certificate to be endorsed following the completion of the annual survey, intermediate survey or inspection of the outside of the bottom of the vessel; and
the owner of the vessel demonstrating that an arrangement for the transfer of personnel by a safe means is implemented on the vessel; and
for any gas cylinder on the vessel - its stowage is:
separate from any cylinder of breathing medium for use in diving operations; and
at least 3 m from accommodation areas, the navigating bridge and the radio room.
Note 1 The safe transfer of personnel is an arrangement to be addressed in a vessel's safety management plan. Information on industry best practice is available in the latest editions of Guidance on the transfer of personnel to and from offshore vessels (published by IMCA) and Health and Safety in Shipboard Work, including Offshore Support Vessels (Seacare Authority Code of Practice Approval).
Note 2 An issuing body may impose other conditions on a safety certificate - see paragraph 100(2)(b) of the Navigation Act.
