The Merchant Shipping (Radio and Radio-Navigational Equipment Survey) Regulations 1991
These Regulations replace the Merchant Shipping (Radio Installations Survey) Regulations 1981. They give effect to the provisions concerning surveys of radio equipment contained in the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea 1974 as amended. They provide for surveys of radio equipment to be carried out by British Telecom surveyors, except in the case of radio-navigational equipment which may be carried out by Department of Transport surveyors. Surveys carried out abroad may also be carried out by surveyors appointed by the Secretary of State for the area in question or, in a State party to the Safety Convention, through the appropriate authority of that State.
