If there is any difference between the Icelandic and the English text, the Icelandic version is valid.

Before the ship is put into service, a general or initial survey, comprising 5 different inspections, in which inspection of equipment and workmanship of the ship's construction, will be conducted. The ship may undergo other inspections dependant on size, area of operation or the certificates required. More information on certificates dependant on ship´s type can be found on the website: Issuance of certificates subject to the ship type.
