Why should you use ISO 19897 - Marine evacuation systems?
A Ships and marine technology - Marine evacuation systems - Testing under conditions of icing (MES) is a lifesaving device found on passenger ships consisting of an inflatable slide or escape chute where a passenger can evacuate straight into waiting life rafts. Marine evacuation systems (MES) encompass a wide range of different configurations and designs that can be exposed to icing. The test is intended to demonstrate that a marine evacuation systems (MES) can be deployed satisfactorily under conditions of icing on the basic structure of the system, which means the stowed system, including integrated survival crafts, shall be exposed to the icing test.
