  Note that where the words 'No Applicable Requirements' appear, although no compliance is required by the Regulations, use of materials having restricted fire risk in accordance with applicable requirements, is recommended  
  note(1): The windows box shall have a non-combustible structure. Where the structure is faced with a combustible veneer, this item shall be included in the fire volume calculation.  
  note(2): Furniture in stairway enclosures shall be limited to seating. It shall be fixed, limited to six seats on each deck in each stairway enclosure, of restricted fire risk, and shall not restrict the passenger escape route  
  note(3): Refer to PYC 6.2(32) for detailed requirements  
  note(4): These items shall be constructed with frames of non-combustible materials and, if upholstered are to comply with FTP Annex 1, Part 8  
  note(5): Such spaces were not originally meant to be outfitted as accommodation spaces and fire volume calculations were in fact not required by SOLAS. Should they be constructed as such they shall be treated as spaces of restricted fire risk as defined in 6.7(1)(d)  
  note(6): FTP Code, Annex 1, Parts 2 and 5 are applicable only to paints, varnishes and other finishes (Reg. II-2/6.2) (i.e. not veneers or substrate).  
  note(7): To be kept to a minimum, be fixed and have properties that are not readily ignitable.  
  note(8): Large artworks that form the majority of the bulkhead are to have low frame spread surface.  
  note(9): Refer to PYC 6.3 (21), (22) and (23) for details regarding Furniture and furnishings on cabin balconies.  
  note(10): For open deck spaces other than balconies, attention shall be paid to MSC.1/Circ.1274 when adjacent to LSA  
  note(11): Not allowed in cabin corridors. In other corridors (i.e. corridors not forming part of an Escape Route), notes 2 and 4 apply.  
  note(12): Insulating materials located in cargo spaces, mail rooms and refrigerated compartments of service spaces need not be non-combustible. SOLAS II-2/5.3.1.1 refers.  
  note(13): Combustible vapour barriers and adhesives used in conjunction with insulation shall be kept to the minimum quantity practicable. SOLAS II-2/5.3.1.1 refers.  
  note(14): Linings, grounds, draught stops and ceilings in mail rooms, baggage rooms, saunas or refrigerated compartments need not be non-combustible. SOLAS II-2/5.3.1.2.1 refers.  
  note(15): Grounds in concealed or inaccessible spaces in accommodation, service spaces and control stations shall have low flame spread characteristics in accordance with FTP Code Annex 1, Part 5. SOLAS II-2/5.3.2.4.1.2 refers.  
  note(16): See PYC 6.3 (18) for details regarding the possible relaxation of Low Flame-spread characteristics in areas appropriated for the use of the Owners and passengers, subject to agreement by the Flag Administration.  
  note(17): Refer to PYC 6.7(1)(d)and for detailed requirements where the space shall be treated as spaces of restricted fire risk.
