Section 10

A ship which undergoes repairs, alterations, modifications and outfitting related thereto shall continue to comply with at least the requirements previously applicable to the ship. An existing ship in such a case shall not, as a rule, comply to a lesser extent with the requirements for a new ship than it did before.

Repairs, alterations and modifications of a major character and outfitting related thereto should meet the requirements for a new ship in so far as the Director thinks reasonable and practicable.
