Which agency must approve the safety equipment on board inspected vessels?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Inspected vessels and who regulates their construction and equipment • Which U.S. agency issues Certificates of Inspection (COI) and approves lifejackets, liferafts, and fire extinguishers • Difference between workplace safety (like OSHA) and marine safety and navigation

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Which organization actually tests and labels life-saving appliances and fire protection equipment for ships in the United States? • Think about who boards commercial vessels for regular inspections and has authority to detain the vessel for missing or improper safety gear. • Which of these choices is a federal maritime authority rather than a general safety or advisory organization?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm which agency appears on approval labels for lifejackets, liferafts, and portable fire extinguishers (look for approval numbers). • Verify which organization issues the vessel’s Certificate of Inspection and enforces compliance with 46 CFR equipment requirements. • Eliminate any organization that is mainly an advisory or workplace-safety body rather than a maritime regulatory and inspection authority.
