2.3.3 Fire integrity of bulkheads and decks<br />

<strong>SOLAS</strong> 74/78<br />

page 45/112<br />

2.3.3.1 In addition to complying with the specific provisions for fire integrity of bulkheads and decks of<br />

cargo ships, the minimum fire integrity of bulkheads and decks shall be as prescribed in tables 9.5 and<br />

9.6.<br />

2.3.3.2 The following requirements shall govern application of the tables:<br />

.1 Tables 9.5 and 9.6 shall apply respectively to the bulkheads and decks separating adjacent<br />

spaces;<br />

.2 For determining the appropriate fire integrity standards to be applied to divisions between<br />

adjacent spaces, such spaces are classified according to their fire risk as shown in categories (1)<br />

to (11) below. Where the contents and use of a space are such that there is a doubt as to its<br />

classification for the purpose of this regulation, or where it is possible to assign two or more<br />

classifications to a space, it shall be treated as a space within the relevant category having the<br />

most stringent boundary requirements. Smaller, enclosed rooms within a space that have less than<br />

30% communicating openings to that space are considered separate spaces. The fire integrity of<br />

the boundary bulkheads and decks of such smaller rooms shall be as prescribed in tables 9.5 and<br />

9.6. The title of each category is intended to be typical rather than restrictive. The number in<br />

parentheses preceding each category refers to the applicable column or row in the tables;<br />
