ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

Introduction
The International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), 1974 requires all life-saving
appliances and arrangements to comply with the requirements of the LSA Code and to be tested in
accordance with the recommendations of the IMO. The revised recommendation on testing of life-saving
appliances, as adopted by IMO Resolution MSC.81(70), prescribes in paragraph 12.2.2 and 12.3.2.2 the
execution of a static load test to the structural attachment to the ship of a marine evacuation system.
However, this resolution does not refer to any specific calculation method for this test. This document
is intended to provide specifications for an appropriate calculation method for this test in order to
facilitate consistent implementation by maritime administrations when approving marine evacuation
systems.
