📢 Q. Which one of the listed routine test and inspection of LSA is not required by the present regulation

The correct answer is D because the general emergency alarm does not need to be tested daily as per current regulations. While the alarm system must be regularly checked to ensure it is functioning properly, the requirement is generally to test it at regular intervals (such as weekly or monthly), not daily.

On the other hand, options A, B, and C are required by regulations. The lifeboat engine should be run weekly for at least 3 minutes, survival craft and rescue boats with launching appliances must be visually inspected weekly, and lifeboat equipment should be inspected monthly to maintain operational readiness.

• The general emergency alarm needs periodic testing but not daily.
• Lifeboat engines must be tested weekly for at least 3 minutes.
• Regular inspections of survival craft ensure operational readiness.
• Monthly lifeboat equipment inspections ensure compliance with safety regulations.
• Testing and inspecting life-saving appliances is essential for emergency preparedness.
