This is a very valid question, it is best to check with your insurer and your flag, they will advise. However fire does not discriminate between private or commercially run yachts.

We treat and certify many yachts fitted with such systems, they tend to be busy charter yachts and see the value of prevention. Remember if a system arms it is because you have and are fighting a fire, our treatment provides an extra layer of protection which helps prevent that fire from starting.
It also means that if there is something which flames briefly it will extinguish without setting off the system and thus eliminates the cost of re-setting it and clearing up the mess it can create. In addition, there is no loss in time, essential if you have back to back charters.
Good question! One that is being asked more and more. There are some who believe that the duration of 24 months is set by the MCA but this is NOT TRUE.

Take a look at this article we wrote, explaining the pros and cons of MGN 580 (M) Declaration of Conformity duration so you can make an informed decision.
