18、apacity of marine evacuation systems (MES). As a consequence of MES systems being installed on large passenger ships, there has been an increase in system capacity during recent years. This document provides a uniform test regime while reducing the risk of injury to test personnel by reducing the nu
19、mber of persons required to complete the test. The capacity determined through this document is based on trial conditions as described in referenced IMO instruments and does not take into account factors such as adverse weather conditions, ship-specific installations or arrangements, or the physical
20、 capabilities of the passengers to be evacuated.

32、ive to testing from a floating ship, a test rig which deploys the MES over water may be used for the determination of MES capacity.4.2 Position of the test rigThe side of the test rig, simulating a ships side, shall be parallel to, and in line with, the outer boundary of the pier.4.3 Installation he
33、ight of MESThe entrance to the passage shall be positioned at 15 m (1 m) above the waterline or at least at the height for which the system is to be approved if this is less than 15 m (1 m) above the waterline.2 ISO 2016 All rights reservedBS ISO 16707:2016ISO 16707:2016(E)4.4 MES/ship interfaceThe
34、MES retaining and connection lines of the test rig shall be arranged and fitted as on a real ship with the same installation height and longitudinal distances as used for the capacity test.4.5 Associated survival craftIf the capacity test includes the use of associated survival crafts, these shall b
35、e positioned on the pier at a distance of at least 15 m from the centreline of the access entrance to the MES passage.If more than one associated survival craft is used with the system, at least two of the largest associated survival crafts necessary to attain the maximum capacity of the system shal
36、l be deployed and handled during the test.4.6 Access to embarkation areaThe test rig should have a dedicated assembly area. However, other arrangements are acceptable if access by the evacuees to the embarkation point, in a safe and constant flow, is ensured.5 Test persons5.1 Number of test persons5
37、.1.1 The number of persons to be selected for the test shall correspond to at least 110 % of the capacity of the largest survival craft used with the MES, except as specified in 5.1.4.5.1.2 In the case where a survival craft unit or units are used, a number of test persons corresponding to 110 % of
38、the largest individual survival craft shall be used, except as specified in 5.1.4.5.1.3 In the case where only a single survival craft is used, of which the capacity is less than 165 persons, a number of test persons corresponding to 100 % of the survival craft shall be used.5.1.4 If the survival cr
39、aft capacity is larger than 165 persons, only 165 test persons shall be used and the test shall be conducted under the conditions described in 6.8.5.2 Selection of test persons5.2.1 Subjects shall be able-bodied, not have received practical training in the use of a MES, and be selected according to
40、the weight distribution given in Table 1 and the following.5.2.2 Small test subjects, i.e. those persons less than 65 kg, need not be adults.5.2.3 At least one-third, but not more than one-half of the test subjects, should be females and selected from the three weight categories, except females need
41、 not be represented from the highest weight category.

42、ckets conforming to the requirements of the LSA Code, shall be lined up in the embarkation area, if space permits, or on the stairway leading to the embarkation area in a way that there shall not be any interruption in the flow of the test persons.6.2 Prior to initiating the test, the MES crew shall
43、 be ready in the embarkation area and awaiting the order to deploy the system.6.3 When the order to initiate the test is given, the timing is started and the system is activated by the MES crew.6.4 When the floating platform or the survival craft at the base of the passage is ready for boarding and
44、the access passable, the designated MES crew descends the MES and prepares to receive the test persons.6.5 For safety reasons, the timing may be temporarily interrupted at this point while the test persons assemble in the embarkation area and shall be resumed when the test persons are lined up as de
45、scribed in 6.1.6.6 If the MES consists of more than one passage, they shall be used equally.6.7 When the all-clear signal is given, the test persons descend to the floating platform/survival craft and transfer to the survival craft which is designated as the first to be disengaged from the system.6.
46、8 If either a single survival craft or survival craft unit is used as described in 5.1.4, the following procedure is used as equivalent to verify operational capabilities in a crowded survival craft.6.8.1 If a single survival craft is used, the test persons shall assemble in the area closest to the
47、end of the passage closest to vessel connection points to simulate that the operating area for the crew is crowded.6.8.2 If a survival craft unit is used, the test persons shall assemble in the craft(s) closest to the end of the passage(s) and in such a way that at least one craft is occupied to its
48、 full capacity.6.9 The handling of associated survival craft may be carried out in parallel with the descent of the test persons, provided that the MES crew is available to perform all operations safely.6.10 When the last survival craft to be used for the test is disengaged, the time is stopped.7 Te
