The following medical conditions generally render a person unfit for work at sea.  The medical examiner should consider with regard to the individual examinee whether such conditions render him or her unfit for the duties he or she is expected to perform and the shipping operation contemplated, and, if so, whether the condition or conditions may be remedied or sufficiently mitigated to allow such work.  The medical examiner should not only consider the health and safety of the examinee but also the health and safety of other seafarers and passengers, as well as the safety of the ship.  If a seafarer is granted a medical certificate while experiencing such conditions the exceptions should be justified and any restrictions should be clearly noted.  The medical examiner should bear in mind that it is not possible to develop a comprehensive list of contra-indications but that this list may provide some guidance.  It cannot replace sound medical judgement.

1. Teeth which are not considered  necessary for efficient mastication are alloted ONE POINT each and those essential TWO POINTS each.  For instance, each incisor, canine, 1st and 2nd premolars will have have a value of one point provided their corresponding lower teeth are present.
2. Each 1st and 2nd molar and well developed 3rd molar will have a value of two points provided they are in good opposition to corresponding teeth in the lower jaw.  In the case the 3rd molar is not well developed, it will have a value of one point only.
3. When all the 16 teeth are present in the upper jaw and in good functional opposition to corresponding teeth in the lower jaw, the total value will be 20 or 22 points according to whether the 3rd molars are well developed or not.
4. The following teeth will be present in the upper jaw and in good functional opposition to corresponding teeth in the lower jaw:

-  Any 4 of the 6 anterior; and
-  Any 6 of the 10 posterior.
5. Provided there are at least 14 dental points in the mouth, all these teeth must be sound and repairable.  The minimum number of points required is 14.
6. Seafarers with severe pyorrhea are to be rejected.  If Pyorrhea is slight and teeth are otherwise sound, the seafarer may be accepted if, in the opinion of Dental doctor, he/she can be cured by normal dental treatment excluding extraction.

     (3)  Method of testing:
           (a)  The lantern supplied for the test shall be so constructed as to allow 1 large or 2 small lights to be visible, and is fitted with 9 glasses of 3 colours red, white and green.  At the beginning of the test the candidate shall be shown a series of lights through the large apperture, and he shall be required to name the colours as they appear.  Care shall be taken in showing the fact that this light is not a pure white.  If a candidate makes a mistake in calling this light "red", a proper red light shall be shown immediately after and this attention directed to the difference between the two.
              (b)  After a series of lights through the large aperture has been shown, 4 circuits and 1 broken circuit with the 2 small apertures shall be made with the candidate naming the colours of each set  of 2 lights from left or right.

8.  Passing or failure:
     (1)  If a candidate does not make any mistake in the lantern test after passing the letter test, he shall be deemed to have passed the whole test and the examiner shall issue a certificate to that effect.
     (2)  If, with either the large aperture of the lantern, a candidate mistakes red or green or green or red, he shall be considered to have failed in the lantern test.
     (3)  If a candidate makes any other mistakes with the lantern i.e. if he calls white "red" or red "white" or confuses green and white, his case shall be submitted to the Chief Examiner, and he shall be informed that the decision as to whether he is passed or failed, or must undergo a further test, shall be communicated to him in due course.  Pending the receipt of the Chief Examiner's instructions, a candidate shall only be allowed to proceed with his examination for a Certificate of Competency on the express understanding that this examination will be cancelled in the event of failure in the sight tests.  In every such case the candidate shall be notified by the examiner of his success or failure or that his case has been referred for special consideration.
9.  Retesting of unsuccessful candidate:
     A candidate who fails to pass the local lantern test shall not again be tested locally, unless the Chief Examiner directs that he may be so tested.  The certificate issued to the candidate shall state whether or not he may be tested locally.

       (3)  If any candidate, being an appellant under paragraph 14 fails to appear for the examination at the appointed date and time, the fee paid by him shall be forfeited.  Arrangement for his examination by the Board on any other date may be made on his payment of a further fee under paragraph 11.

15.  Failures
       (1)  Where, on examination,  any candidate appearing before the Board under sub-paragraph 10 or 11 is found to have a permanent defect in his eye sight which renders him unfit for a sea career, such candidate shall be finally rejected and may not permitted to appear for sight test on any occasion in future:
               Provided that any candidate declared failed at the examination by Board may apply for re-examination by the Board under provisions of sub-paragraph 16 in the presence of an opthalmic surgeon appearing in his behalf.
       (2)  Any candidate who fails in the examination but is not finally rejected by reason of being found to be free from any permanent eye defect, may, at his choice appear before the Board for examination as an appellant under sub-paragraph 11 after a lapse of three months from the date of examination or seek re-examination under paragraph 16, in either case, on payment of appropriate fees.

16.  Re-examination
