Ships and marine technology — Service personnel for the maintenance, thorough examination, operational testing, overhaul and repair of lifeboats and rescue boats, launching appliances and release gear — Part 3: Level 1 technical training
This document establishes a uniform, safe and consistent approach to the technical training of personnel for the maintenance, thorough examination, operational testing, overhaul and repair of lifeboats and rescue boats, launching appliances and release gear. It also provides the necessary information for interested parties to grant authorization, effectively evaluate and audit training, supporting the IMO Requirements, section 3. It specifies the training requirements for the level 1 controlled environment education and technical training for personnel certified by a manufacturer or an authorized service provider to carry out maintenance, thorough examination, operational testing, overhaul and repair of lifeboats (including free-fall lifeboats) and rescue boats (including fast rescue boats), launching appliances and release gear. The level 1 training is split into two stages, both covered in this document: — stage 1 service technician technical controlled environment education and training has five modules that consist of classroom-based theory followed by practical sessions. The five modules encompass the scope and range of technical knowledge and skills required to assume type-specific design coverage of survival craft, release systems, davits and winches. The modules focus on supporting the requirements in the IMO Requirements, section 8, paragraphs 8.1, 8.2.1.1 to 8.2.1.6, 8.2.2, and 8.2.3. — stage 2 service technician technical controlled environment experience and assessment requires candidates to undertake a minimum of four supervised scenarios-based practical exercises assessments covering the range of type specific complete systems for which they will be certified. This document is intended to be used in conjunction with ISO 23678-1, ISO 23678-2 and ISO 23678-4. This document is applicable to the following types of lifeboats (including free-fall lifeboats), rescue boats (including fast rescue boats), launching appliances and release gear. Survival craft types: a) single fall totally enclosed lifeboats with sprinkler and air systems; b) twin fall totally enclosed lifeboats with sprinkler and air systems; c) partially enclosed lifeboats; d) tender lifeboats; e) freefall lifeboats; f) open lifeboat; g) inflatable rescue boats; h) rigid rescue boats; i) semi-ridged inflatable rescue boats; j) rigid fast rescue boats; k) rigid inflatable fast rescue boats.

Foreword
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

ISO 23678-3:2022(E)
Introduction
A major objective of the maritime industry is to prevent accidents and incidents from occurring. A
global network of competent personnel employed by authorized service providers is vital for lifesaving
appliances to remain fit for purpose, sustaining crew confidence and contributing to the prevention of
incidents and accidents.
The need to develop an International Standard for this objective is evident from the new requirements
[5]
in IMO Resolution MSC.402 (96) , entitled “requirements for maintenance, thorough examination,
operational testing, overhaul and repair of lifeboats and rescue boats, launching appliances, and release
gear” (henceforth referred to as the “IMO Requirements”) adopted 19 May 2016 and entering into force
1 January 2020, as per paragraph 7.1.1.
This document and the associated documents ISO 23678-1, ISO 23678-2 and ISO 23678-4 have been
developed to achieve three key objectives:
— develop training documents that would support the IMO Requirements, section 7, paragraph 7.1.1;
— provide a consistent, reliable, and standardized approach to training and provide a clear auditable
trail for interested parties to grant authorization supporting the IMO Requirements, section 3, to
service providers;
— establish a competency framework that would enable personnel certified by service providers to
develop and maintain competencies identified by industry experts to a level that enables them to
competently work unsupervised on equipment covered by this document.
This document has been developed by identifying training objectives in relation to survival craft, davits,
winches and release gear makes and types for which service is to be provided. This has been achieved
by conducting professional discussions with disciplined experts, to obtain the appropriate information
to develop a training programme that is fit for purpose. Successfully completing the service technician
training in ISO 23678-1, ISO 23678-2 and ISO 23678-4 enables personnel certified by an authorized
service provider to meet the IMO Requirements, section 7, paragraph 7.1.1, and section 8.

Part 3:
Level 1 technical training
1 S cope
This document establishes a uniform, safe and consistent approach to the technical training of personnel
for the maintenance, thorough examination, operational testing, overhaul and repair of lifeboats and
rescue boats, launching appliances and release gear.
It also provides the necessary information for interested parties to grant authorization, effectively
[5]
evaluate and audit training, supporting the IMO Requirements, section 3 .
It specifies the training requirements for the level 1 controlled environment education and technical
training for personnel certified by a manufacturer or an authorized service provider to carry out
maintenance, thorough examination, operational testing, overhaul and repair of lifeboats (including
free-fall lifeboats) and rescue boats (including fast rescue boats), launching appliances and release gear.
The level 1 training is split into two stages, both covered in this document:
— stage 1 service technician technical controlled environment education and training has five modules
that consist of classroom-based theory followed by practical sessions. The five modules encompass
the scope and range of technical knowledge and skills required to assume type-specific design
coverage of survival craft, release systems, davits and winches. The modules focus on supporting
the requirements in the IMO Requirements, section 8, paragraphs 8.1, 8.2.1.1 to 8.2.1.6, 8.2.2, and
8.2.3.
— stage 2 service technician technical controlled environment experience and assessment requires
candidates to undertake a minimum of four supervised scenarios-based practical exercises
assessments covering the range of type specific complete systems for which they will be certified.
This document is intended to be used in conjunction with ISO 23678-1, ISO 23678-2 and ISO 23678-4.
This document is applicable to the following types of lifeboats (including free-fall lifeboats), rescue
boats (including fast rescue boats), launching appliances and release gear.
Survival craft types:
a) single fall totally enclosed lifeboats with sprinkler and air systems;
b) twin fall totally enclosed lifeboats with sprinkler and air systems;
