CHAPTER II-1 CONSTRUCTION –
SUBDIVISION AND STABILITY, MACHINERY AND ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS

Definitions

For the purpose of this Chapter,
unless expressly provided
otherwise:

(i) A subdivision load line is a water-line used in determining the subdivision of the ship.

(ii) The deepest
subdivision load line is the water-line which corresponds to the greatest
draught permitted by the subdivision requirements which are applicable.

(a)       
The length of the ship is the length measured between
perpendiculars taken at the extremities of
the deepest subdivision load line.

(b)      
The breadth of the ship is the extreme width from
outside of frame to outside of frame at or
below the deepest subdivision load line.

(c)       
The draught is the vertical distance from the moulded
base line amidships to the subdivision load line in question.

(d)      
The bulkhead deck is the uppermost deck up to which
the transverse watertight bulkheads are carried.

(e)     
The margin line is a line drawn at
least 76 millimetres (3 inches) below the upper surface of the bulkhead
deck at side.

(f)        
The permeability of a space is the percentage of that space which can be occupied
by water. The volume of a space which extends
above the margin
line shall be measured only to the height of that line.

(g)       
The machinery space is to be taken as extending from
the moulded base line to the margin line and
between the extreme main transverse watertight bulkheads bounding the spaces
containing the main and auxiliary
propelling machinery, boilers serving the needs of propulsion, and all
permanent coal bunkers.

In the case of
unusual arrangements, the Administration may define the limits of the machinery spaces.

(h)     
Passenger spaces are those which are provided
for the accommodation and use of passengers, excluding baggage,
store, provision and mail
rooms.

For the purposes of
Regulations 4 and 5 of this Chapter, spaces provided below the margin line for the accommodation and use of the crew shall
be regarded as passenger spaces.

(i)    
In all cases volumes and areas shall be calculated to moulded lines.

CHAPTER II-2 CONSTRUCTION – FIRE PROTECTION, FIRE DETECTION AND FIRE EXTINCTION

Definitions

For the purpose of this Chapter,
unless expressly provided
otherwise:

(a)  “Non-combustible
material” means a material which neither burns nor gives off inflammable vapours
in sufficient quantity
for self-ignition when heated to approximately 750deg.C
(1,382deg.F)

this being
determined to the satisfaction of the Administration by an established test
procedure.[15] Any other material is a combustible material.

(b)  
“A Standard Fire Test” is one in which
specimens of the relevant bulkheads or decks are exposed in a test furnace to temperatures corresponding
approximately to the standard time- temperature
curve. The specimen shall have an exposed surface of not less than 4.65 square
metres (50 square feet) and height
(or length of deck) of 2.44 metres (8 feet) resembling as closely as possible the intended construction and
including where appropriate at least one joint. The standard time-temperature curve is defined by a smooth curve drawn through the following points:

at the end of the first 5 minutes – 538deg.C (1 ,000deg.F) at the end of the first 10 minutes –
704deg.C (1,300deg.F) at the end of
the first 30 minutes – 843deg.C (1,550deg.F)
at the end of the first 60 minutes – 927deg.C (1,700deg.F)

(c)  “”A” Class Division” are those divisions
formed by bulkheads
and decks which comply with the following:

(i)  they shall be constructed of steel or other equivalent material;

(ii)  
they shall
be suitably stiffened;

(iii)  they shall be
so constructed as to be capable of preventing the passage of smoke and flame to the end of the one-hour standard
fire test;

(iv)  they shall
be insulated with approved non-combustible materials such that the average temperature of the unexposed side will not
rise more than 139deg.C (250deg.F) above the original temperature, nor will the temperature, at any one point,
including any joint, rise more than 180deg.C (325deg.F) above the original
temperature, within the time listed
below:

Class “A-60” 60 minutes Class “A-30” 30
minutes Class “A-15” 15 minutes Class “A-0” 0 minutes

(v)  
the Administration may require a test of a prototype bulkhead
or deck to ensure that it meets the

above requirements for integrity
and temperature rise.[16]

(d)  
“”B” Class Divisions” are those
divisions formed by bulkheads, decks, ceilings or linings which comply
with the following:

(i)  they shall
be so constructed as to be capable of preventing the passage of flame to the
end of the first one-half
hour of the standard fire test;

(ii)  
they shall have an insulation value such that the
average temperature of the unexposed side will
not rise more than 139deg.C (250deg.F) above the original temperature,
nor will the temperature at any one
point, including any joint, rise more than 225deg.C (405deg.F) above the
original temperature, within the time listed below:

Class “B-15” 15 minutes
Class “B-0”              0
minutes

(iii)  they shall be constructed of approved non-combustible materials and all materials entering
into

the
construction and erection of “B” Class divisions shall be non-combustible,
except where in accordance with Parts
C and D of this Chapter the use of combustible material is not precluded, in which case it shall comply with the
temperature rise limitation specified in sub-paragraph (ii) of this paragraph up to the end of the first one-half hour of the standard fire test;

(iv)  the
Administration may require a test of a prototype division to ensure that it
meets the above requirements for integrity and temperature rise.[17]

(e)  “”C” Class Divisions” shall be constructed of approved non-combustible materials. They need
meet no requirements relative to the passage of smoke and flame nor the
limiting of temperature rise.

(f)  “Continuous “B” Class Ceilings or Linings” are those “B” Class ceilings or linings which
terminate only at an “A”
or “B” Class division.

(g)  
“Steel or Other Equivalent Material”. Where
the words “steel or other equivalent material” occur, “equivalent material” means any material which,
by itself or due to insulation provided, has
structural and integrity properties equivalent to steel at the end of
the applicable fire exposure to the standard fire test
(e.g. aluminium allow with
appropriate insulation).

(h)  
“Low Flame Spread” means that the surface
thus described will adequately restrict the spread of flame, this being determined to the satisfaction of the
Administration by an established test procedure.

(i)  “Main
Vertical Zones” are those sections into which the hull, superstructure,
and deckhouses are divided by
“A” Class divisions, the mean length of which on any one deck does
not in general exceed 40 metres (131 feet).

which contain:

(i)  internal
combustion type machinery used either for main propulsion purposes, or for
other purposes where such machinery

to such spaces.

(q)  
“Oil Fuel Unit” means the equipment used for
the preparation of oil fuel for delivery to an oil- fired boiler, or equipment used for the preparation for
delivery of heated oil to an internal combustion
engine, and includes any oil pressure pumps, filters and heaters dealing with
