Footnotes

f1

Bulkheads separating the wheelhouse and chartroom from each other may be ‘ B-0 ’ rating.

f2

Where an asterisk appears in the tables, the division is required to be of steel or other equivalent material but is not required to be of ‘ A ’ class standard.

In ships, which are constructed on or after 1 January 2003 , however, where a deck, except in a category (10) space, is penetrated for the passage of electric cables, pipes and ventilation ducts, such penetration shall be made tight to prevent the passage of flame and smoke. Divisions between control stations (emergency generators) and open decks may have air intake openings without means for closure, unless a fixed gas fire-fighting system is fitted.

For the application of Regulation II-2/B/2.1.2. an asterisk, where appearing in table 5.2 and 5.2(a), except for categories (8) and (10), shall be read as ‘ A-0 ’ .

f3

For the application of Regulation 2.1.2, ‘ B-0 ’ and ‘ C ’ , where appearing in table 5.1 and 5.1a, shall be read as ‘ A-0 ’ .

f4

For clarification as to which applies, see Regulations II-2/B/3 and 8.

f5

See paragraph .2.3 and .2.4 of this Regulation.

f6

Where spaces are of the same numerical category and superscript b appears, a bulkhead or deck of the rating shown in the tables is only required when the adjacent spaces are for a different purpose, e.g. in category (9). A galley next to a galley does not require a bulkhead but a galley next to a paint room requires an ‘ A-0 ’ bulkhead.

f7

Fire insulation need not be fitted if the machinery space in category (7) has little or no fire risk.
