Preparing for SOLAS 2026 marine foam evidence
Marine fire fighting foam analysis is sensitive because vessel owners, technical managers, shipyards and fire-safety contractors may need evidence for survey, class, flag or commercial review. Prime Lab gives public guidance while keeping exact scope and test package details inside direct client communication.
Survey planning
Useful when a vessel needs foam evidence before an annual, periodical, renewal or handover review.
Missing declarations
Useful when manufacturer declarations, batch certificates or historic foam records are unavailable or insufficient.
Legacy foam stock
Useful for vessels or marine facilities carrying older fire-extinguishing media.
Recipient-specific report use
Class, flag, owner, buyer, port, shipyard or counterparty instructions should be shared before scope confirmation.
PFOS is public; the exact test scope remains controlled
PFOS is visible on the website because SOLAS/HSC amendments entering into force from 1 January 2026 specifically address PFOS in fire-extinguishing media. Broader PFAS or documentation requirements may also arise depending on owner policy, environmental expectations, port requirements or future restrictions.
Prime Lab confirms vessel details, foam information, intended report recipient and exact scope directly with the client. The website does not publish full test tables, internal procedures or restricted technical steps.
- Vessel name, IMO number where applicable and current location.
- Foam brand, batch or certificate if available.
- System location or equipment category.
- Class, flag, owner, buyer, port or survey recipient.
- Deadline and required submission route.
Discuss marine foam analysis directly
