What are the main requirements of The Merchant Shipping (Marine Equipment) Regulations?

Equipment on UK ships and listed in MSN 1734 (as amended) must comply with the applicable international standards specified in that MSN. Equipment will not comply with the applicable international standards unless (1) it meets the testing standards of the relevant international convention (SOLAS, MARPOL, etc. ) as specified in MSN 1734 (as amended); and (2) it has been manufactured in accordance with the EC conformity-assessment procedure and the mark of conformity, identification and the last two digits of the year in which the mark was affixed are on the equipment.
