Monthly inspections general visual inspection should be made of the overall system condition for obvious signs of damage, and should include verification that:
. all stop valves are in the closed position;
. all releasing controls are in the proper position and readily accessible for immediate use;
. all discharge piping and pneumatic tubing is intact and has not been damaged;
. all high pressure cylinders are in place and properly secured; and
. the alarm devices are in place and do not appear damaged.
In addition, on low pressure systems the inspections should verify that:
. the pressure gauge is reading in the normal range;
. the liquid level indicator is reading within the proper level;
. the manually operated storage tank main service valve is secured in the open position; and the vapour supply line valve is secured in the open position

Annual inspections
The following minimum level of maintenance and inspections should be carried out in accordance with the system manufacturer’s instructions and safety precautions:
1 the boundaries of the protected space should be visually inspected to confirm that no modifications have been made to the enclosure that have created uncloseable openings that would render the system ineffective;
2 all storage containers should be visually inspected for any signs of damage, rust or loose mounting hardware. Cylinders that are leaking, corroded, dented or bulging should be hydrostatically retested or replaced;
3 system piping should be visually inspected to check for damage, loose supports and corrosion. Nozzles should be inspected to ensure they have not been obstructed by the storage of spare parts or a new installation of structure or machinery;
4 the manifold should be inspected to verify that all flexible discharge hoses and fittings are properly tightened; and
5 all entrance doors to the protected space should close properly and should have warning signs, which indicate that the space is protected by a fixed carbon dioxide system and that personnel should evacuate immediately if the alarms sound. All remote releasing controls should be checked for clear operating instructions and indication as to the space served

Minimum recommended maintenance
At least biennially (intervals of 2 years ± 3 months) in passenger ships or at each intermediate, periodical or renewal survey* in cargo ships, the following maintenance should be carried out
1 all high pressure cylinders and pilot cylinders should be weighed or have their contents verified by other reliable means to confirm that the available charge in each is above 90% of the nominal charge. Cylinders containing less than 90% of the nominal charge should be refilled. The liquid level of low pressure storage tanks should be checked to verify that the required amount of carbon dioxide to protect the largest hazard is available;
2 the hydrostatic test date of all storage containers should be checked. High pressure cylinders should be subjected to periodical tests at intervals not exceeding 10 years. At the 10-year inspection, at least 10% of the total number provided should be subjected to an internal inspection and hydrostatic test**. If one or more cylinders fail, a total of 50% of the onboard cylinders should be tested. If further cylinders fail, all cylinders should be tested. Flexible hoses
should be replaced at the intervals recommended by the manufacturer and not exceeding every 10 years; and
3 the discharge piping and nozzles should be tested to verify that they are not locked. The test should be performed by isolating the discharge piping from the system and flowing dry air or nitrogen from test cylinders or suitable means through the piping.

At least biennially (intervals of 2 years ± 3 months) in passenger ships or at each renewal
survey* in cargo ships, the following maintenance should be carried out by service technicians /specialists trained to standards accepted by the Administration
1 where possible, all activating heads should be removed from the cylinder valves and tested for correct functioning by applying full working pressure through the pilot lines. In cases where this is not possible, pilot lines should be disconnected from the cylinder valves and blanked off or connected together and tested with full working pressure from the release station and checked for leakage.In both cases this should be carried out from one or more release stations when
Installed If manual pull cables operate the remote release controls, they should be checked
to verify the cables and corner pulleys are in good condition and freely move and do not require an excessive amount of travel to activate the system;
.2 all cable components should be cleaned and adjusted as necessary, and the cable connectors should be properly tightened. If the remote release controls are operated by pneumatic pressure, the tubing should be checked for leakage, and the proper charge of the remote releasing station pilot gas cylinders should be verified. All controls and warning devices should function normally, and the time delay, if fitted should prevent the discharge of gas for the required time period; and
3 after completion of the work, the system should be returned to service. All releasing controls should be verified in the proper position and connected to the correct control valves. All pressure switch interlocks should be reset and returned to service. All stop valves should be in the closed position

Classification notations are indicative of the specific Rule requirements which have been met.
Additional voluntary notations are offered by individual Societies and may be selected by an owner wishing to demonstrate that the vessel conforms to a particular standard that may be in excess of that required for classification.
Depending on the Classification Society, the classification notations are assigned to the ship according to ship type, service, navigation and/or other criteria which have been provided by the owner and/or builder, when requesting classification.

Following checks to be carried out
1.Quantity to be as per the standards/ Check and rectify if not in compliance.
2.Check the quality of food and ask for genereal suggestions from the crew during a safety meeting.
3.If the complaining crew are still not happy and continue to complain.
4.If it is satisfactory, then call a inspector and ask him to check.
5.Can fine the crew for false information – max 1 weeks wages.


Fine of rs 200 or detention of ship for bad quality of food.
