ABOUT MSC.1/CIRC.1663
IMO MSC.1/Circ.1663 sets out international guidelines for the 
inspection, maintenance and testing of lifting appliances and 
winches installed on board ships.
 
It defines how cranes, hoists and similar lifting devices must 
be examined at regular intervals by competent personnel to 
ensure safe operation and structural integrity.
 
Where required, equipment must also be verified through 
proof load testing to confirm its safe working capability. The guideline establishes documentation, reporting and

qualification standards that are now being adopted by
classification societies and shipowners worldwide. Generally, the requirements also apply to lifting appliances with a safe working load below 1,000 kg,unless the flag administration grants specific exemptions.
