Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

The Board may on application by any person or any organisation appearing to the Board to represent a substantial number of owners or operators of such vessels as may be affected by any standards grant exemptions in writing on such conditions (if any) as the Board think fit, from the requirements of any standards in respect of any individual vessel, or any category of vessels, being a vessel or, as the case may be, a category of vessels which cannot reasonably be expected to be altered or adapted or otherwise made to comply therewith, having regard in particular to its or their traditional construction or historical character.
