- Vessels used by schools, school camps or daycare centres for safe boating activities may comply with the rules applicable to recreational craft (see section 2).
- Vessels of less than 10 metres with limited engine power may comply with the rules applicable to recreational craft (see section 2).
- Vessels engaged on a regular service may use the Regulations.
- Companies with vessels complying with the Regulations must be registered at the Norwegian Maritime Authority (see section 3).
