Description
Life-Saving Appliances (LSA Code), 2023 Edition contains the international requirements for life-saving appliances on ships as established by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The Code is developed to ensure that life-saving appliances such as liferafts, lifeboats, lifejackets, distress signals, and other safety equipment meet established technical standards and functional requirements.
The publication provides detailed specifications for the construction, performance, testing, and approval of life-saving appliances used on board ships. The LSA Code is closely linked to the requirements of the SOLAS Convention and serves as a central regulatory framework for safety equipment intended to help protect life at sea.
The book is used by shipping companies, shipyards, classification societies, maritime authorities, and consultants working with the design, construction, approval, and inspection of ships. It is also an essential reference work for technical managers and other professionals working with safety equipment and compliance with international maritime safety requirements.
