Introduction

 This appendix covers the testing of windows, fire dampers, pipe penetrations and cable transits, all of which may be incorporated within "A" class divisions.

 Irrespective of the fact that this appendix is written only for "A" class divisions, the prescriptions given can be used by analogy when testing windows, fire dampers, pipe and duct penetrations and cable transits incorporated in "B" class divisions, where appropriate.

 The testing and reporting of these components should be generally in accordance with the requirements given in IMO Resolution A.754(18). Where additional interpretation, adaption and/or supplementary requirements may be necessary, these are detailed in this appendix.

 Since it is not possible to introduce the distortions which are experienced by the structural core during tests corresponding to procedures given in the resolution, into specimens of smaller scale, all the tests of the components covered by this appendix should be undertaken with those components installed in full-size dimensioned structural cores as specified in the resolution.
