4.9.1 Provision should be made to prevent shifting
of baggage, stores and cargo compartment contents, having due regard
to occupied compartments and accelerations likely to arise. If safeguarding
by positioning is not practicable, adequate means of restraint for
baggage, stores and cargo should be provided. Shelves and overhead
shelves for storage of carry-on baggage in passenger accommodation
should be provided with adequate means to prevent the luggage from
falling out in any conditions that may occur.
4.9.2 Controls, electric equipment, high temperature
parts, pipelines or other items, the damage or failure of which could
affect the safe operation of the craft or which may require access
by crew members during a voyage, should not be located in baggage,
store and cargo compartments unless such items are adequately protected
so that they cannot be damaged or, where applicable, operated inadvertently
by loading, unloading or by movement of the contents of the compartment.
4.9.3 Loading limits, if necessary, should be
durably marked in those compartments.
4.9.4 Having regard to the purpose of the craft,
the closures of the exterior openings of the luggage and cargo compartments
as well as special category spaces should be appropriately weathertight.
