Condition of Class and Recommendations
Conditions of Class follow Society Rules; PR 1C governs suspension/reinstatement/withdrawal for overdue items, while PR 1A concerns transfer and suspension does not automatically invalidate every statutory certificate.
Operational Explanation

Regulatory Reference
Applicable class Rules; IACS PR 1C overdue; PR 1A transfer only; flag/RO delegation for statutory effects.
Scope of Application
Class status, statutory certification, PSC and contracts remain distinct layers.
Procedure / How to Complete It
- Record condition, due date and closure evidence under Rules.
- Apply PR 1C when a survey/condition becomes overdue.
- Notify flag/RO and assess each statutory effect separately.
- Use PR 1A only in an actual transfer of class.
Practical Example
An overdue condition may suspend class and trigger flag review, but does not by formula cancel every certificate.
