  "long_title": "These Regulations amend the Merchant Shipping (Fire Protection) Regulations 1984 to maintain consistency with modified definitions in the Merchant Shipping (Passenger Ship Construction and Survey) Regulations 1984, to introduce a requirement for accommodation bulkheads, linings and ceilings and their associated grounds to be of non-combustible material with exposed surfaces having a low surface spread of flame rating on ships whose keels are laid on or after 31st October 1992, and to clarify the escape requirements. All of the amendments are primarily relevant to ships of Classes III to VI(A) inclusive, i. e. the smaller passenger ships which operate on the canals, lakes and rivers of the United Kingdom and for limited distances to sea therefrom.",
