will the boat safety scheme technical requirements change?

Yes. To take account of advances in technology or new safety issues, we may

change the requirements from time to time.

Before any changes are made, we will:

  • consult the Inland Waterways Amenity Advisory Council about the proposed changes
  • consult organisations that represent builders, owners and operators of boats affected by the proposed changes
  • bring the proposed changes to the attention of builders, owners and operators and give at least 84 days notice about when they will come into effect. In exceptional cases, where the changes are needed to avoid serious risk of danger to people or property, less than 84 days notice may be given.
