Question 3670 Deck General

The correct answer is D) the manufacturer or his authorized representative. According to the regulations governing firefighting equipment on mobile offshore drilling units (MODUs), if a fixed foam firefighting system is not of the premix type, a sample of the foam liquid must be tested by the manufacturer or their authorized representative. This is to ensure that the foam liquid meets the required performance standards and is suitable for use in the firefighting system. The other options are incorrect because the safety man and the person in charge of the unit do not have the technical expertise to properly test and evaluate the foam liquid. A Coast Guard inspection officer may be able to verify that the system is properly installed and maintained, but they do not have the authority to test the foam liquid itself.
