STWC 1 International Convention of Training, Certificates and Watchkeeping of Seafarers. Surveillance : The process of monitoring a product, procedure or service to ensure it continues to conform with the approved criteria. Survey: An activity carried out by a surveyor with free and random access to building facility at defined or occasional intervals, consisting of one or more inspections and/or surveillance to verify the compliance of a product, design, service, process or plant (including ships, or offshore installations or parts thereof) with specific requirements. Surveyor: A competent person - appointed by the Society - to perform surveys. Suspension of Class: A ship loses her class temporarily. Test: A technical operation that consists of the determination of one or more characteristics or performance of a given product, material, equipment, organism, physical phenomenon, process or service according to a specific procedure. TOC Transfer of Class: It is possible to transfer a ship from one classification to another during the lifetime of a ship. Depending on the current class status of the vessel, various procedures exist to achieve a smooth transition to the new class. TOCA Transfer of Class Agreement: The IACS Transfer of Class Agreement's objective is to allow for traceability of ship's class and to prevent owners "class hopping". It was reinforced by requiring the "gaining society" in a class transfer to perform a special survey or intermediate survey (whichever is due next) for ESP ships of 15 years and over. TOCA requires the transfer of the ship's classification survey history to the gaining society.
