(2) Following the satisfactory completion of a survey, a form of
approval shall be issued by a Contracting Party if the incineration system
is found to be in compliance with these Regulations. A copy of the survey
report shall be attached to the form of approval. A form of approval
issued by a Contracting Party shall be recognized by other Contracting
Parties unless there are clear grounds for believing that the incineration
system is not in compliance with these Regulations. A copy of each form of
approval and survey report shall be submitted to the Organization.
(3) After any survey has been completed, no significant changes which
could affect the performance of the incineration system shall be made
without approval of the Contracting Party which has issued the form of
approval.
Regulation 4 Wastes Requiring Special Studies
(1) Where a Contracting Party has doubts as to the thermal
destructibility of the wastes or other matter proposed for incineration,
pilot scale tests shall be undertaken.
(2) Where a Contracting Party proposes to permit incineration of
wastes or other matter over which doubts as to the efficiency of
combustion exist, the incineration system shall be subject to the same
intensive stack monitoring as required for the initial incineration system
survey. Consideration shall be given to the sampling of particulate,
taking into account the solid content of the wastes.
(3) The minimum approved flame temperature shall be that specified in
Regulation 5 unless the results of tests on the marine incineration
facility demonstrate that the required combustion and destruction
efficiency can be achieved at a lower temperature.
(4) The results of special studies referred to in paragraphs (1), (2)
and (3) of this Regulation shall be recorded and attached to the survey
report. A copy shall be sent to the Organization.
Regulation 5 Operational Requirements
