Alcance y aplicabilidad

This standard specifies the health requirements, examination, and evaluation criteria for seafarers serving on Chinese vessels. It applies to the assessment of whether a seafarer's health condition meets the requirements for their specific position on both sea-going ships and inland waterway vessels. It is mandatory for all seafarers seeking employment on applicable vessels to undergo these health checks. The standard categorizes seafarers into different groups, such as deck officers, engine room personnel, radio operators, and service seafarers (those providing catering, accommodation, or medical services).

Requisitos técnicos

The standard outlines specific health parameters based on the seafarer's rank and vessel type. For sea-going ship crew, it establishes baseline physical requirements including height, blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate. Visual acuity is strictly categorized into far vision and near vision, with specific thresholds for naked and corrected vision using the GB/T 11533 standard logarithmic visual acuity chart. For inland waterway vessels, the standard provides a separate set of health criteria, generally with slightly adjusted physical thresholds compared to sea-going crew. It mandates normal visual fields, absence of diplopia, and normal dark adaptation. Color vision must be tested using the Yu Ziping pseudoisochromatic plates, with strict prohibitions on red-green color blindness for certain operational roles. A significant portion of the standard details occupational restrictions across various medical systems. It defines disqualifying conditions for cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, and neurological systems. For instance, severe heart diseases, uncontrolled diabetes, epilepsy, and substance abuse are strictly prohibited. Certain controlled or post-treatment conditions may allow restricted service on coastal or inland vessels, subject to annual health reviews. The standard also includes specific restrictions for infectious diseases, malignancies, and musculoskeletal disorders. It explicitly states that pregnant women over seven months or those with abnormal pregnancies are not permitted to work on board, while service seafarers must not be carriers of intestinal infectious diseases.

Métodos de ensayo

Medical examinations must be conducted at recognized medical institutions using standardized forms provided in the standard's appendices. The evaluation includes basic examinations such as blood routine, urine routine, liver function, blood glucose, blood type, chest X-ray, and electrocardiogram (ECG). Service seafarers must additionally undergo stool bacterial culture tests. Audiometry using an electro-audiometer is required for sea-going crew, while a whisper test is used for inland waterway crew. Ultrasound examinations (abdominal, gynecological, urological, or echocardiography) are conditional, primarily required for symptomatic individuals or based on age and gender thresholds. The final assessment concludes with either a 'Qualified' or 'Unqualified' status, with any occupational restrictions explicitly documented.
