N.A. / To be included in the documents required by the instruction for Reg.6.9.4.
6.10.1 / The lifeboat should be loaded with weights equal to the mass of its equipment and the number of persons for which the lifeboat is to be approved. The engine should be started and the lifeboat manoeuvred for a period of at least 4 h to demonstrate satisfactory operation. The lifeboat should be run at a speed of not less than 6 knots for a period which is sufficient to ascertain the fuel consumption and to establish that the fuel tank has the required capacity. The maximum towing force of the lifeboat should be determined.This information should be used to determine the largest fully loaded liferaft the lifeboatcan tow at 2 knots.The fitting designated for towing other craft should be secured to a stationary object by a tow rope. The engine shall be operated ahead at full speed for a period of at least 2 minutes. There shall be not damage to the towing fitting or its supporting structure. The maximum towingforce of the lifeboat should be recorded on the type approval certificate. / Not yet

6.15 / All entrances and openings of the lifeboat should be closed, and the air supply to theinside of the lifeboat turned on to the design air pressure. The engine should then be runat revolutions necessary to achieve full speed with the fully loaded boat including allpersons and with the sprinkler system in use for a period of 5 min, stopped for 30 s, thenrestarted for a total running time of 10 min.During this time the atmospheric pressure within the enclosure should be continuously monitored to ascertain that a small positive air pressure is maintained within the lifeboat and to confirm that noxious gases cannot enter. The internal air pressure should never fall below the outside atmospheric pressure nor should it exceed outside atmospheric pressure by more than 20 hPa during the test. Itshould be ascertained, by starting the engine with air supply turned off, that when the air supply is depleted, automatic means are activated to prevent a dangerous underpressure ofmore than 20 hPa being developed within the lifeboat. / Not yet
