Testing and Troubleshooting
1. General
The items described in this chapter are necessary to test the liferaft. When not in use,
keep the test equipment and all special tools in good condition.
The liferaft shall be submitted to pressure and other physical tests according to its age as
defined in Chapter 1, Table 6, and as described in this chapter.
NOTE:
Where, in years 5,10, 15 and 20, both the Gas inflation and Working
pressure test are required, time may be saved by conducting the Gas
inflation test first. If the test is satisfactory, continue with the Relief
valve and Air holding tests required to complete the WP test. It is vital
however that all CO
2
must be given time to evaporate.
NOTE: Any part whose operation which is critical to safety of life, such as the
lifting bridle, its attachment points on the liferaft or to the lifting ring,
shall be replaced if any doubt exists as to its operating capability. Non
critical parts such as some minor pockets shall be repaired so as to
make them fit for purpose. If doubt exists as to the repair required,
contact Revere Survival Inc.
