Regulation II-2/9.2.2.3.2.2(9) – Containment of fire, thermal and structural boundaries

"Isolated pantries containing no cooking appliances in accommodation spaces" are pantries enclosed in an accommodation space and are only accessible from accommodation spaces and/or open deck. For the purpose of this categorization, "accommodation space" is as defined in SOLAS regulation II-2/3.1. These pantries, shown in figure 1 below, should not have communicating openings to spaces other than accommodation spaces, such as a category 12 "main galley". These pantries do not contain cooking appliances, except as allowed in accordance with Amendments to the unified interpretations of SOLAS chapter II-2, the FSS Code, the FTP Code and related fire test procedures (MSC/Circ.1120) (MSC.1/Circ.1436).
