BS G247 is published in the following separate Parts: Part 1: Specification for lifejacket lights; Part 2: Specification for liferaft lights. Liferaft lights enable survivors to be located quick

8、ly during the hours of darkness and their failure to operate could jeopardize survival. It is essential, therefore, that good design and manufacturing practices are applied to the production of this equipment. It has been assumed in the drafting of this BritishStandard that the execution of its prov

9、isions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced people. The approving authority referred to in this standard is the body responsible for authorizing the manufacturer or supplier to issue certification, when “to certify” means to attest as meeting a standard. WARNING. This BritishStand

10、ard calls for the use of substances and procedures that may be injurious to health if adequate precautions are not taken. It refers only to technical suitability and does not absolve the user from legal obligations relating to health and safety at any stage. A British Standard does not purport to in

11、clude all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pag
