SOLAS/LSA Code requires annual thorough examination, a 5-yearly dynamic test of the winch brake at 1.1 x SWL, and on-load release gear overhaul every 5 years by an approved service supplier, with all records kept in the vessel's LSA maintenance/register.
Estimated lifetime: Davit systems are assessed on condition and calendar-based SOLAS surveys rather than running hours; structural design life is typically 20+ years with periodic thorough examination, dynamic testing and on-load release gear overhaul.
