2.1.1.

| 2.1.2. | It shall constitute a change in the type of craft if the safety requirements applying to the new type of craft are different from those for the old type; this is so if special provisions of Chapters 15 to 22b of Annex II are applicable to the new type which were not applicable to the old type. |
| --- | --- |

2.1.2.

| 2.1.3. | In the case of a change in the type of craft, all special provisions and all requirements specific to this type of craft shall be complied with fully; transitional provisions may not be invoked for these requirements. This also applies to parts which are taken over from the existing craft and come under these special requirements. |
| --- | --- |

2.1.3.

| 2.1.4. | The conversion of a tanker into a dry cargo vessel shall not constitute a change in the type of craft as defined in 2.1.2. |
| --- | --- |

2.1.4.

| 2.1.5. | In the case of conversion of a cabin vessel into a day-trip vessel, all new parts shall comply fully with the current requirements. |
| --- | --- |

2.1.5.

2.2.   Application of the transitional provisions in detail

| 2.2.1. | Article 24.02(2) (NRC), resp. Article 24a.02(2) applies to the parts of the craft that are renewed; hence new parts of the craft cannot be subject to the transitional provisions. |
| --- | --- |

2.2.1.

| 2.2.2. | For the parts of the craft that are not converted, the transitional provisions shall continue to be applicable with the exception of parts according to 2.1.3, second sentence. |
| --- | --- |

2.2.2.

| 2.2.3. | If the dimensions of the craft are modified, the transitional provisions no longer apply to those parts of the craft that are connected with this modification (e.g. distance of collision bulkhead, freeboard and anchor). |
| --- | --- |

2.2.3.

| 2.2.4. | In the case of a change in the type of craft, the special requirements of Annex II that only apply to the new type of craft shall be applicable. All parts and items of equipment that are affected by the conversion of the craft must satisfy the current requirements Part II and III of Annex II. |
| --- | --- |

2.2.4.

| 2.2.5. | The craft shall then be granted a new or amended Community certificate and a note shall be made in fields 7 and 8 of the certificate both of the original construction and of the conversion. |
| --- | --- |

2.2.5.

2.3.   Examples for illustration

| 2.3.1. | A cargo vessel (year of construction 1996) is converted into a passenger vessel. Chapter 15 of Annex II then applies to the whole vessel, without invoking transitional provisions. If the fore section is not modified either according to the conversion plans or in accordance with Chapter 15, the vessel does not need to present any anchor niches in accordance with Article 3.03. |
| --- | --- |

2.3.1.

| 2.3.2. | A tug (year of construction 1970) is converted into a pusher. The physical conversion consists solely of changing the deck equipment and installing a pushing device. All transitional provisions for a 1970 vessel remain applicable, except for the Chapters 5, 7 (in part), Article 10.01 and Article 16.01. |
| --- | --- |

2.3.2.

| 2.3.3. | A motor tanker (year of construction 1970) is converted into a pusher. The physical conversion consists of separating off the fore section and the cargo section, as well as changing the deck equipment and installing a pushing device. All transitional provisions for a 1970 vessel remain applicable, except for the provisions of Chapters 5, 7 (in part), Article 10.01 and Article 16.01. |
| --- | --- |

2.3.3.

| 2.3.4. | A motor tanker is converted into a motor cargo vessel. The motor cargo vessel must comply with current workplace safety requirements, particularly those referred to in Article 11.04 of Chapter 11 of Annex II. |
| --- | --- |

3.1.   Application of the transitional provisions

| 3.1.1. | Conversion measures that are necessary in order to comply with requirements of Chapter 15, no matter when they are carried out, shall not constitute conversion “C” within the meaning of Article 24.02(2), Article 24.03(1) or Article 24.06(5) of Annex II, resp. Article 24a.02, Article 24a.03. |
| --- | --- |

3.1.1.

| 3.1.2. | In the case of conversion of a cabin vessel into a day-trip vessel, all new parts shall comply fully with the current requirements. |
| --- | --- |

3.1.2.

3.2.   Examples for illustration

| 3.2.1. | A passenger vessel (year of construction 1995) must have a second independent propulsion system installed by 1 January 2015 at the latest. If no other voluntary conversions are made on this passenger vessel, it is not necessary to carry out a stability calculation in accordance with the new requirements, but if there is an objective need for one, a stability calculation may be carried out in accordance with the original stability requirements of a Member State. |
| --- | --- |

3.2.1.

| 3.2.2. | A passenger vessel (year of construction 1994, vessel certificate last renewed 2012) will be extended by 10 m in 2016. In addition, this craft must be given a second independent propulsion system. Also, a new stability calculation will be necessary, which must be carried out in accordance with Chapter 15 for the one-compartment status and the two-compartment status. |
| --- | --- |

3.2.2.

| 3.2.3. | A passenger vessel (year of construction 1988) receives a more powerful propulsion system including propellers. This is such a major conversion that a stability calculation is required. This must be carried out in accordance with current requirements.’; |

  ADMINISTRATIVE INSTRUCTION No 6


  Application of Chapter 15 requirements Local subdivisions


  Transitional requirements for enclosures made with awnings or similar mobile installations

  (Article 15.02(5), 15.03(4), 15.03(9) of Annex II)
  1.   LOCAL SUBDIVISIONS (ARTICLE 15.02(5))
  Under Article 15.02 paragraph 5 it is conceivable that local watertight subdivisions, such as transversally subdivided double bottom tanks of a greater length than the damage length to be considered, will not be included in the evaluation. In this case it might not be possible to take the transversal subdivision into account if it is not extended up to the bulkhead deck. This might lead to inappropriate subdivisions of bulkheads.





  Interpretation of the requirement:
  If a watertight compartment is longer than required by Article 15.03 paragraph 9 and it contains local subdivisions which form watertight sub compartments, and between which the minimum damage length can be contained, these can be taken into account in the damaged stability calculation.
  2.   TRANSITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ENCLOSURES MADE WITH AWNINGS OR SIMILAR MOBILEINSTALLATIONS WITH REGARD TO STABILITY (ARTICLE 15.03 PARAGRAPH 5)
  Enclosures made with awnings or similar mobile installations can cause problems with the stability of the vessel since, if of sufficient size to do so, they influence the heeling moment due to wind pressure.
  Interpretation of the requirement:
  In the case of passenger vessels for which a vessel certificate was issued for the first time before 1 January 2006, or for which Article 24.06 paragraph 2, second sentence, is invoked, after the erection of an enclosure made with awnings or similar mobile installations, a new stability calculation must be made according to this Directive, in so far as its lateral plane Awz exceeds 5 % of the total lateral plane Aw to be taken into account in each case.’; |

Recreational craft

(Article 21.02(2) in conjunction with Article 7.02, Article 8.05(5), Article 8.08(2) and Article 8.10 of Annex II)

1.   General

Recreational craft of up to 24 metres length, that are placed on the market, have to comply with the requirements of Directive 94/25/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (*2), as amended by Directive 2003/44/EC (*3). According to Article 3 in conjunction with Article 2 of this Directive, recreational craft having a length of 20 metres or more shall carry a Community inland navigation certificate attesting the craft’s compliance with the technical requirements of Annex II. Since double inspection or certification for certain equipment, arrangements and installations of newly built recreational craft which can result from certain provisions in Article 21.02 of Annex II should be avoided, this Administrative Instruction gives information on those requirements listed in Article 21.02 that are already sufficiently covered under Directive 94/25/EC.

2.   Requirements in Article 21.02 which are already covered under Directive 94/25/EC

For recreational craft subject to Directive 94/25/EC the inspection body shall as regards to the issuance of the Community inland navigation certificate (initial inspection) not require further inspection or certification of the following requirements of Article 21.02 (2), of Annex II provided that the craft presented for inspection has been placed on the market no more than 3 years before the date of presentation to the inspection body and no modifications to the craft have been carried out, and the Declaration of Conformity refers to the following harmonised standards or their equivalence:

‘Appendix VII

On-board sewage treatment plant

Test procedure

1   GENERAL

1.1   Basics

The test specification shall be used to verify the suitability of on-board sewage treatment plants on passenger vessels.

In this procedure, the process and treatment technology used shall be examined and approved by means of a test plant. Conformity of the test plant with the treatment plants in service later is assured by applying identical design and dimensioning criteria.

1.2.   Responsibility and test location

The test plant for a range of on-board sewage treatment plant types shall be tested by a technical service. The test conditions at the test site are the responsibility of the technical service and must correspond to the conditions specified here.

1.3   Documents to be submitted

The test shall be carried out on the basis of the information document in accordance with Appendix VI, Part II.

1.4   Plant dimensioning specifications

The on-board sewage treatment plants shall be dimensioned and designed such that the limit values specified in Article 14a.02(2), Tables 1 and 2 in their outflow are not exceeded in the course of their operation.

2   MEASURES PREPARATORY TO TESTING

2.1   General

Prior to commencement of the test the manufacturer shall supply the technical service with structural and process specifications of the test plant, to include a complete set of drawings and supporting calculations in accordance with Appendix VI, Part II, and shall provide full information on the on-board sewage treatment plant’s requirements in terms of installation, operation and maintenance. The manufacturer shall supply the technical service with information on the mechanical, electrical and technical safety of the on-board sewage treatment plant to be tested.

2.2   Installation and putting into service

For the purpose of the test, the manufacturer shall install the test plant in such a way as to correspond to the intended installation conditions on board passenger vessels. Prior to testing the manufacturer must assemble the on-board sewage treatment plant and put it into service. Start-up must be in accordance with the manufacturer’s operating instructions and shall be checked by the technical service.

2.3   Run-in phase

The manufacturer shall notify the technical service of the nominal duration of the run-in phase up to normal operation in weeks. The manufacturer shall specify the point where the run-in phase is deemed to be complete and testing may commence.

2.4   Inflow characteristics

Domestic raw sewage shall be used for testing the test plant. The inflow characteristics as regards pollutant concentrations shall be obtained from the on-board sewage treatment plant manufacturer’s dimensioning documentation in accordance with Appendix VI, Part II by forming the quotient for the flow rate of organic substances in the form of a BOD5 load in kg/d and the design flow rate of sewage Qd in m3/d. The inflow characteristics shall be set accordingly by the inspection body.

Formula 1

Calculation of the inflow characteristics

Formula

Should application of formula 1 result in a lower average BOD5 concentration of less than CBOD5mean = 500 mg/l, at least a mean BOD5 concentration in the inflow water of CBOD5,min = 500 mg/l shall be set.

The technical service must not break up the inflowing raw sewage in a comminatory. Removal of sand (e.g. by screening out) is permissible.

3.   TEST PROCEDURE

3.1   Loading phases and hydraulic feeding

The test period shall comprise 30 test days. The test plant shall be fed on the test field with domestic waste water in accordance with the loading specified in Table 1. Various loading phases shall be covered, with the test sequence taking account of normal loading phases and special loading phases such as overload, underload and stand-by operation. The duration of each loading phase (number of test days) is set out in Table 1. The mean daily hydraulic load for each loading phase shall be set in accordance with Table 1. The mean pollutant concentration, to be set in accordance with point 2.4, shall be kept constant.

Table 1

Load settings for each loading phase

| Phase | Number of test days | Daily hydraulic load | Pollutant concentration |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Normal load | 20 days | Qd | CBOD5 in accordance with 2.4 |
| Overload | 3 days | 1,25 Qd | CBOD5 in accordance with 2.4 |
| Underload | 3 days | 0,5 Qd | CBOD5 in accordance with 2.4 |
| Stand-by | 4 days | Day 1 and day 2: Qd= 0
  Day 3 and day 4: Qd | CBOD5 in accordance with 2.4 |

The special load phases overload, underload and stand-by operation shall be carried out consecutively without interruption; the normal load phase shall be divided into several part phases. The test shall start and end with a normal load phase, of at least five days’ duration in each case.

Daily hydraulic feeding hydrographs shall be set, depending on the specified operation of the on-board sewage treatment plant. The daily hydraulic feeding hydrograph shall be selected in accordance with the plant operation concept for the on-board sewage treatment plant. A distinction shall be made according to whether the on-board treatment plant is to be operated with or without an upstream sewage storage tank. The feeding hydrographs (daily hydrographs) are shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2.

Throughout the entire test period the hourly inflow must remain constant. The mean hourly volumetric flow rate of sewage Qh,mean is equivalent to 1/24 of the daily hydraulic load according to Table 1. The inflow shall be measured continuously by the technical service. The daily hydrograph must keep within a ± 5 % tolerance.

3.2   Interruption or cancellation of the test

It may be necessary to interrupt the test if the test plant can no longer be operated properly due to power failure or the malfunction of a subassembly. The test may be interrupted for the duration of the repair. In such cases it is not necessary to repeat the whole of the test, only the loading phase in which the subassembly malfunction took place.

After the test is interrupted for a second time, the technical service shall decide whether the test may be continued or must be cancelled. The grounds for the decision must be stated and documented in the test report. Should the test be cancelled it must be repeated in full.

3.3   Examinations of purification efficiency and compliance with outflow limit values

The technical service shall take samples from the inflow to the test plant and analyse them in order to confirm conformity with the inflow characteristics. Sewage samples shall be taken from the outflow of the test plant and analysed to determine the purification efficiency and compliance with the required outflow limit values. Sampling carried out shall include both simple random samples and 24h composite samples. In the case of the 24h composite samples, either time-proportional or flow-proportional sampling may be carried out. The type of 24h composite sample shall be specified by the inspection body. Sampling in the inflow and outflow shall be carried out simultaneously and to the same degree.

In addition to the control parameters BOD5, COD and TOC the following parameters for inflow and outflow shall be measured in order to describe and represent the environmental and test conditions:

| (a) | solids removable by filtration (SRF); |
| --- | --- |

Notes on determining biochemical oxygen demand after five days (BOD5) in 24h composite samples

The International Standards ISO 5815 and 5815-2: 2003 stipulate that in order to carry out the analysis to determine biochemical oxygen demand after five days water samples should be stored immediately after sampling and up to the time of analysis in a brim-full, tightly sealed bottle at a temperature of 0–4 °C. The process of determining BOD5 should be initiated as soon as possible or at least within twenty-four hours of completion of sampling.

In order to prevent biochemical degradation processes starting in the 24h composite sample, in practice the water sample is cooled to a maximum of 4 °C while sampling continues, and is stored at this temperature once the sampling process is complete.

Suitable sampling equipment is commercially available.
