Division Article 2.09 Periodical inspection

Craft shall be subjected to a periodical inspection before expiry of their Union inland navigation certificate.

The competent authority shall again lay down the period of validity of the Union inland navigation certificate in accordance with the results of that inspection.

The period of validity shall be entered on the Union inland navigation certificate and be brought to the attention of the authority having issued that Union inland navigation certificate.

If, rather than have its period of validity extended, a Union inland navigation certificate is replaced by a new version, the earlier Union inland navigation certificate shall be returned to the competent authority which issued it.
