If the vessel conforms with the regulations, a so-called "ship's attest for the Rhine" (i.e. ship's certificate) is issued by the Inspection Commissions of the CCNR member states (Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland), which is valid for 5 to 10 years respectively and which can be extended after a new inspection.
Number of ship's attestes per year issued : 1500 to 2000.
