162.039-7—Procedure for listing and labeling.
(a)
Manufacturers having models of extinguishers which they believe are suitable for marine service may make application for listing and labeling of such product as a “marine type” semiportable fire extinguisher which will be acceptable to the Commandant as approved for use on merchant vessels, by addressing a request directly to a recognized laboratory. The laboratory will inform the submitter as to the requirements for inspections, examinations, and testing necessary for such listing and labeling. All costs in connection with the examinations, tests, and inspections, listings and labelings are payable by the manufacturer.
