C1.2.h. Is there a standard form for a medical certificate under the MLC, 2006?

The MLC, 2006 does not require a standard or model form for medical certificates. However, it states in Standard A1.2, paragraph 6, what the duly qualified medical practitioner is to certify.

Standard A1.2, paragraph 10, also provides that for seafarers working on ships ordinarily engaged on international voyages, the certificate must as a minimum be provided in English.

Additional guidance is provided in the ILO/IMO Guidelines on the medical examination of seafarers ⁴⁴ [see C1.2.i.].
