recognized by the Administration or, at the request of the Administration, by another Contracting

a period specified by the Administration which should not exceed five years. Such a document
should be accepted as evidence that the Company is capable of complying with the requirements
of this Code.
13.3 The Document of Compliance is only valid for the ship types explicitly indicated in the
document. Such indication should be based on the types of ships on which the initial verification
was based. Other ship types should only be added after verification of the Company’s capability to
comply with the requirements of this Code applicable to such ship types. In this context, ship types
are those referred to in regulation IX/1 of the Convention.
13.4 The validity of a Document of Compliance should be subject to annual verification by the
Administration or by an organization recognized by the Administration or, at the request of the
Administration by another Contracting Government within three months before or after the
anniversary date.
13.5 The Document of Compliance should be withdrawn by the Administration or, at its request, by
the Contracting Government which issued the document, when the annual verification required in
paragraph 13.4 is not requested or if there is evidence of major non-conformities with this Code.
13.5.1 All associated Safety Management Certificates and/or Interim Safety Management
Certificates should also be withdrawn if the Document of Compliance is withdrawn.
13.6 A copy of the Document of Compliance should be placed on board in order that the master of
the ship, if so requested, may produce it for verification by the Administration or by an organization
recognized by the Administration or for the purposes of the control referred to in regulation IX/6.2
of the Convention. The copy of the document is not required to be authenticated or certified.
13.7 The Safety Management Certificate should be issued to a ship for a period which should not
exceed five years by the Administration or an organization recognized by the Administration or, at
the request of the Administration, by another Contracting Government. The Safety Management
Certificate should be issued after verifying that the Company and its shipboard management
operate in accordance with the approved safety management system. Such a certificate should be
accepted as evidence that the ship is complying with the requirements of this Code.
13.8 The validity of the Safety Management Certificate should be subject to at least one
intermediate verification by the Administration or an organization recognized by the Administration
or, at the request of the Administration, by another Contracting Government. If only one
intermediate verification is to be carried out and the period of validity of the Safety Management
Certificate is five years, it should take place between the second and third anniversary date of the
Safety Management Certificate.
13.9 In addition to the requirements of paragraph 13.5.1, the Safety Management Certificate
should be withdrawn by the Administration or, at the request of the Administration, by the
Contracting Government which has issued it when the intermediate verification required in
paragraph 13.8 is not requested or if there is evidence of major non-conformities with this Code.
13.10 Notwithstanding the requirements of paragraphs 13.2 and 13.7, when the renewal
verification is completed within three months before the expiry date of the existing Document of
Compliance or Safety Management Certificate, the new Document of Compliance or the new
Safety Management Certificate should be valid from the date of completion of the renewal
verification for a period not exceeding five years from the date of expiry of the existing Document
of Compliance or Safety Management Certificate.
13.11 When the renewal verification is completed more than three months before the expiry date
of the existing Document of Compliance or Safety Management Certificate, the new Document of
Compliance or the new Safety Management Certificate should be valid from the date of completion
of the renewal verification for a period not exceeding five years from the date of completion the
renewal verification.
Amendments below highlighted in yellow are additions to existing regulations.
13.12 When the renewal verification is completed after the expiry date of the existing Safety
Management Certificate, the new Safety Management Certificate should be valid from the date of
completion of the renewal verification to a date not exceeding five years from the date of expiry of
the existing Safety Management Certificate.
13.13 If a renewal verification has been completed and a new Safety Management Certificate
cannot be issued or placed on board the ship before the expiry date of the existing certificate, the
Administration or organization recognized by the Administration may endorse the existing
certificate and such a certificate should be accepted as valid for a further period which should not
exceed five months from the expiry date.
13.14 If a ship at the time when a Safety Management Certificate expires is not in a port in which it
is to be verified, the Administration may extend the period of validity of the Safety Management
Certificate but this extension should be granted only for the purpose of allowing the ship to
complete its voyage to the port in which it is to be verified, and then only in cases where it appears
proper and reasonable to do so. No Safety Management Certificate should be extended for a
period of longer than three months, and the ship to which an extension is granted should not, on
its arrival in the port in which it is to be verified, be entitled by virtue of such extension to leave that
port without having a new Safety Management Certificate. When the renewal verification is
completed, the new Safety Management Certificate should be valid to a date not exceeding five
years from the expiry date of the existing Safety Management Certificate before the extension was
granted.
