  "heading": "The following requirements shall govern the application of the tables:",
  "text": ".1 Table 4.1 shall apply to bulkheads not bounding either main vertical zones or bounding horizontal zones.\nTable 4.2 shall apply to decks not forming steps in main vertical zones nor bounding horizontal zones.\n.2 For determining the appropriate fire integrity standards to be applied to boundaries between adjacent spaces, such spaces are classified according to their fire risk as shown in categories (1) to (14). Where the contents and use of a space are such that there is a doubt as to its classification for the purpose of this Regulation, it shall be treated as a space within the relevant category having the most stringent boundary requirements. The title of each category is intended to be typical rather than restrictive. The number in parentheses preceding each category refers to the applicable column or row in the tables.\n(1) Control stations:\nspaces containing emergency sources of power and lighting,\nwheelhouse and chartroom,\nspaces containing the ship’s radio equipment,\nfire-extinguishing rooms, fire control rooms and fire-recording stations,\ncontrol room for propulsion machinery when located outside the propulsion machinery space,\nspaces containing centralised fire alarm equipment,\nspaces containing centralised emergency public address system stations and equipment.\n(2) Stairways:\ninterior stairways, lifts and escalators (other than those wholly contained within the machinery spaces) for passengers and crew and enclosures thereto;\nin this connection a stairway which is enclosed at only one level shall be regarded as part of the space from which it is not separated by a fire door.\n(3) Corridors:\npassenger and crew corridors.\n(4) Evacuation stations and external escape routes:\nsurvival craft stowage area,\nopen deck spaces and enclosed promenades forming lifeboat and life-raft embarkation and lowering stations,\nassembly stations, internal and external,\nexternal stairs and open decks used for escape routes,\nthe ship’s side to the waterline in the lightest seagoing condition, superstructure and deckhouse sides situated below and adjacent to the life-rafts and evacuation slide’s embarkation areas.\n(5) Open deck spaces:\nopen deck spaces and enclosed promenades clear of lifeboat and life-raft embarkation and lowering stations,\nair spaces (the space outside superstructures and deckhouses).\n(6) Accommodation spaces of minor fire risk:\ncabins containing furniture and furnishing of restricted fire risk,\noffices and dispensaries containing furniture and furnishings of restricted fire risk,\npublic spaces containing furniture and furnishings of restricted fire risk and having a deck area of less than 50 m 2 .\n(7) Accommodation spaces of moderate fire risk:\nspaces as in category (6) above but containing furniture and furnishing of other than restricted fire risk,\npublic spaces containing furniture and furnishing of restricted fire risk and having a deck area of 50 m 2 or more,\nisolated lockers and small storerooms in accommodation spaces having areas less than 4 m 2 (in which flammable liquids are not stowed),\nsale shops,\nmotion picture projection and film stowage rooms,\ndiet kitchens (containing no open flame),\ncleaning gear lockers (in which flammable liquids are not stowed),\nlaboratories (in which flammable liquids are not stowed),\npharmacies,\nsmall drying rooms (having a deck area of 4 m 2 or less),\nspecie rooms,\noperating rooms.\n(8) Accommodation spaces of greater fire risk:\npublic spaces containing furniture and furnishing of other than restricted fire risk and having a deck area of 50 m 2 or more,\nbarber shops and beauty parlours.\n(9) sanitary and similar spaces:\ncommunal sanitary facilities, shower, baths, water closets, etc.,\nsmall laundry rooms,\nindoor swimming pool area,\nisolated pantries containing no cooking appliances in accommodation spaces,\nprivate sanitary facilities shall be considered a portion of the space in which they are located.\n(10) Tanks, voids and auxiliary machinery spaces having little or no fire risk:\nwater tanks forming part of the ship’s structure;\nvoids and cofferdams;\nauxiliary machinery spaces which do not contain machinery having a pressure lubrication system and where storage of combustibles is prohibited, such as;\nventilation and air-conditioning rooms; windlass room; steering gear room; stabiliser equipment room; electrical propulsion motor room; rooms containing section switchboards and purely electrical equipment other than oil-filled electrical transformers (above 10 kVA); shaft alleys and pipe tunnels; spaces for pumps and refrigeration machinery (not handling or using flammable liquids),\nclosed trunks serving the spaces listed above,\nother closed trunks such as pipe and cable trunks.\n(11) Auxiliary machinery spaces, cargo spaces, cargo and other oil tanks and other similar spaces of moderate fire risk:\ncargo oil tanks,\ncargo holds, trunkways and hatchways,\nrefrigerated chambers,\noil fuel tanks (where installed in a separate space with no machinery),\nshaft alleys and pipe tunnels allowing storage of combustibles,\nauxiliary machinery spaces as in category (10) which contain machinery having a pressure lubrication system or where storage of combustibles is permitted,\noil fuel filling stations,\nspaces containing oil-filled electrical transformers (above 10 kVA),\nspaces containing small internal combustion engines of power output up to 110 kW driving generators, sprinkler, drencher or fire pumps, bilge pumps, etc.,\nclosed trunks serving the spaces listed above.\n(12) Machinery spaces and main galleys:\nmain propulsion machinery rooms (other than electric propulsion motor rooms) and boiler rooms,\nauxiliary machinery spaces other than those in categories (10) and (11) which contain internal combustion machinery or other oil burning, heating or pumping units,\nmain galleys and annexes,\ntrunks and casings to the spaces listed above.\n(13) Store-rooms, workshops, pantries, etc.:\nmain pantries not annexed to galleys,\nmain laundry,\nlarge drying rooms (having a deck area of more than 4 m 2 ),\nmiscellaneous stores,\nmail and baggage rooms,\ngarbage rooms,\nworkshops (not part of machinery spaces, galleys, etc.),\nlockers and storerooms having areas greater than 4 m 2 , other than those spaces that have provisions for the storage of flammable liquids.\n(14) Other spaces in which flammable liquids are stowed:\npaint lockers,\nstore-rooms containing flammable liquids (including dyes, medicines, etc.),\nlaboratories (in which flammable liquids are stowed).\n.3 Where a single value is shown for the fire integrity of a boundary between two spaces, that value shall apply in all cases.\n.4 There are no special requirements for material or integrity of boundaries where only a dash appears in the tables.\n.5 The Administration of the flag State shall determine in respect of category (5) spaces whether the insulation values in table 4.1 shall apply to ends of deckhouses and superstructures, and whether the insulation values in table 4.2 shall apply to weather decks. In no case shall the requirements of category (5) of table 4.1 or 4.2 necessitate enclosure of spaces which in the opinion of the Administration of the flag State need not be enclosed.",
