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. Survival craft propulsion system types: a) inboard diesel engines; b) outboard engines; c) propeller drives; d) jet drives. Davit types: a) gravity single and twin fall outrigger; b) hydraulic single pivoting/luffing; c) hydraulic multi pivot/luffing; d) telescopic; e) gravity roller track; f) gravity free fall primary; g) free fall hydraulic secondary; h) A-frame hydraulic; i) single arm slewing (manual, electric); j) davits with stored power systems. Winch types: a) twin drum; b) single drum; c) gravity-lowering, electric hoisting; d) gravity-lowering hydraulic hoisting; e) hydraulic hoisting and lowering. Hook release system types: a) on-load/off load (load not over centre); b) on-load/offload (load over centre); c) off load; d) freefall hydraulic; e) automatic off load.
Abstract
Overview - ISO 23678-3:2022 (Level 1 technical training)
ISO 23678-3:2022 specifies level 1 technical training for service personnel who maintain, thoroughly examine, operationally test, overhaul and repair lifeboats, rescue boats, launching appliances and release gear. It defines a uniform, safe and consistent approach to classroom and controlled-environment practical training, and provides the basis for authorisation, evaluation and audit of training programmes in support of IMO requirements.
The standard covers a two-stage Level 1 programme:
- Stage 1 - Controlled-environment education and training (five classroom + practical modules).
- Stage 2 - Controlled-environment experience and assessment (minimum of four supervised scenario‑based practical exercise assessments for the type-specific systems to be certified).
Key topics and technical requirements
ISO 23678-3 focuses on the practical and regulatory knowledge required for safe, compliant servicing of survival craft and associated equipment. Major topics include:
- Work, health and safety (WHS) for on-board activities, intervention communications and documentation.
- Survival craft inspection, maintenance and overhaul requirements for lifeboats and rescue boats (including free-fall and fast rescue boats).
- Release gear design, tooling, lubrication, cable control, annual and five‑year thorough examinations, overload tests and overhaul procedures.
- Davits types, design considerations, annual operational testing and inspection (gravity, hydraulic, telescopic, A‑frame, slewing and stored power systems).
- Winches types and maintenance: twin/single drum, hydraulic/electric and gravity-lowering systems.
- Types of equipment covered - detailed lists include enclosed and open lifeboats, inflatable/rigid rescue boats, propulsion types (inboard diesel, outboard, propeller and jet drives), multiple davit/winch configurations and hook release systems (on-load/off-load, free-fall hydraulic, automatic off-load).
Practical applications - who uses this standard
ISO 23678-3 is intended for:
- Manufacturer-certified technicians and authorised service providers delivering maintenance, overhaul and repairs.
- Training organisations designing Level 1 courses to meet IMO and industry requirements.
- Ship operators, shipyards and classification societies that require consistent competency evidence for service personnel.
- Auditors and certifying bodies evaluating programme content, trainee assessment and re‑certification processes.
Practical benefit: standardises training content and assessments so technicians can safely perform type‑specific maintenance, pass statutory inspections, and reduce operational risk during lifeboat, davit and release-gear servicing.
Related standards
Use in conjunction with:
- ISO 23678-1, ISO 23678-2 and ISO 23678-4 (other parts of the series covering scope, personnel roles and higher training levels) and applicable IMO requirements referenced in the document.
