LSA Code

The Code was made mandatory by resolution MSC.47(66) under SOLAS regulation III/3.10, whereby regulation III/34 determines that all life-saving appliances and arrangements shall comply with its requirements.

The Code entered into force on 1 July 1998 and has been amended in accordance with SOLAS Article VIII as follows:

1. by the May 2006 amendments, which were adopted by resolution MSC.207(81) and entered into force on 1 July 2010.

2. by the December 2006 amendments, which were adopted by resolution MSC.218(82) and entered into force on 1 July 2008.

3. by the 2008 amendments, which were adopted by resolution MSC.272(85) and entered into force on 1 July 2010.

The consolidated text of the LSA Code in the present publication incorporates the above three sets of amendments, including the two sets entering into force on 1 July 2010, since they were deemed to have been accepted in accordance with the SOLAS amendment procedures on 1 January 2010, and therefore automatically entered into force on 1 July 2010.

Amendments, which were adopted by resolution MSC.368(93) entry into force 1 January, 2016
