In India, ship equipment classification includes compass, radar, AIS, and ECDIS, each requiring certification and installation as per class rules. Classification societies assess the suitability and condition of compasses during surveys. Only certified marine-grade equipment is allowed on registered vessels. Proper classification enhances safety, ensures insurance validity, and satisfies audit requirements.
