The Maritime Safety Committee

  1 The Maritime Safety Committee, at its sixty-sixth session (28 May to 6 June 1996), approved the Recommendation on thermal radiation test supplement to fire resistance tests for "A", "B" and "F" class divisions set out in the annex, which is intended to be used for measuring heat radiation through windows as a basis for characterizing their ability to maintain integrity of thermal and structural boundaries and their suitability for use in marine construction.

  2 The Committee noted that the provisions of the Recommendation would be included in the International Code for the Application of Fire Test Procedures which is expected to be adopted at MSC 67 as a mandatory instrument under relevant provisions of the 1974 SOLAS Convention, as amended.

  3 Governments are invited to apply the Recommendation when approving "A" and "B" class divisions containing windows, pending the entry into force of the Code.
