A CLEAR DOCUMENT TRAIL

Different documents.
Different authority.

The deliverable is defined before attendance: who performs the test, who reviews the evidence, and who issues the final document.

Service & inspection reports

Record attendance, observed condition, work completed, results and remaining actions. They form part of the technical service record.

AIS annual test report

Documents the required annual test for an applicable vessel and is retained aboard. Confirm the authorized testing arrangement.

VDR / S-VDR APT records

Follow the approved testing and manufacturer review process. The resulting compliance document is distinct from a ship’s statutory or class certificate.

LRIT conformance report

Comes through the Administration or its authorized testing application service provider. Flag requirements govern the accepted route.

Statutory & class certificates

Issued or endorsed by the relevant Administration or authorized organization. Electronic format does not change that issuing authority.

A PRACTICAL VERIFICATION CHECK

Follow the issuer.
Check the details.

IMO’s joint electronic-certificate guidance was updated on 1 June 2026. A scanned paper record or an unverified QR code alone does not establish an authentic issuer certificate.

01 · Identify the record

Match the vessel, certificate type, issuer, reference, issue and expiry dates, and required endorsements.

02 · Check authenticity

Use the issuer’s official verification process. Confirm the tracking number and electronic signature or other verification data specified by the issuer.

03 · Preserve the original

Retain the issued electronic file and its verification instructions. Avoid edits that could invalidate or obscure issuer authentication.

04 · Keep it accessible

Make the document and verification instructions available aboard. Keep endorsement and renewal status current within the vessel’s document-control process.

A support card is a contact tool.

The QR codes on PELASTRION client and partner cards open support pages. Certificate verification follows the issuing organization’s own system.

START WITH THE OFFICIAL SOURCE

Issuer verification
and current guidance.

Navigate to the named issuer’s official website independently when a document or embedded link is uncertain. Requirements and verification inputs vary by issuer.
