C5.2.3.c. Do the requirements in the MLC, 2006 that are not in the list of 16 areas in Appendix A5-I have to be inspected?

Yes. All ships covered by the MLC, 2006 [see B4.] are subject to inspection for all the requirements of the Convention (Regulation 5.1.4, paragraph 1), including all the documentation that shall be carried on board.

For ships that will be certified, the provisions of Regulation 5.1.3 and Standard A5.1.3 will also apply. The inspection standards are the national requirements implementing the MLC, 2006. The relevant national provisions implementing the requirements of the MLC, 2006 in the 16 areas [see C5.2.3.b.] that must be certified for some ships will be referenced in Part I of the DMLC [see C5.2.3.e.] that is to be prepared by the competent authority [see A25.].
