Note that where the words 'No Applicable Requirements' appear, although no compliance is required by the Regulations, use of materials having restricted fire risk as per applicable requirements, is recommended | ||
| note(1): | The windows box has to have a non-combustible structure. Where the strucutre is faced with a combustible veneer, this item is to 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): | Reference can be made to IACS UI SC166 | ||
| note(4): | These items are to 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. Should they be constructed as such they should be treated as spaces of restricted fire risk as defined in SOLAS II-2/3.40 | ||
| 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 ignitible. | ||
| note(8): | Large paintings that form the majority of the bulkhead are to have low frame spread surface. | ||
| note(9): | Refer to PYC 6.3 (21), (22) & (23) for details regarding Furniture and furnishings on cabin balconies. | ||
| note(10): | For open deck spaces other than balconies attention is to be paid to MSC.1/Circ.1274 | ||

| 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 (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 anf Guests, subject to agreement by the Flag Administration. | ||
