to operate. This would not apply in the case of an emergency manual trip.)

6 Other requirements

6.1 Documentation

A complete instruction and maintenance manual with drawings, electric diagrams, spare parts list, etc., should be furnished with each incinerator.

6.2 Installation

All devices and components should, as fitted in the ship, be designed to operate when the ship is upright and when inclined at any angle of list up to and including 15° either way under static conditions and 22.5° either way under dynamic conditions (rolling) and simultaneously inclined dynamically (pitching) 7.5° by bow or stern.

6.3 Incinerator

6.3.1 Incinerators are to be fitted with an energy source with sufficient energy to ensure a safe ignition and complete combustion. The combustion is to take place at sufficient negative pressure in the combustion chamber(s) to ensure no gases or smoke leak out to the surrounding areas. (See 5.3.1.3)

6.3.2 A drip tray is to be fitted under each burner and under any pumps, strainers, etc., that require occasional examination.

7 Tests

7.1 Prototype tests

An operating test for the prototype of each design should be conducted, with a test report completed indicating results of all tests. The tests should be conducted to ensure that all of the control components have been properly installed and that all parts of the incinerator, including controls and safety devices, are in satisfactory operating condition. Tests should include those described in section 7.3 below.

7.2 Factory tests

For each unit, if preassembled, an operating test should be conducted to ensure that all of the control components have been properly installed and that all parts of the incinerator, including controls and safety devices, are in satisfactory operating condition. Tests should include those described in 7.3 below.

7.3 Installation tests

An operating test after installation should be conducted to ensure that all of the control components have been properly installed and that all
