Резолюция MSC.1/Circ.1268. Guidelines for the approval of fixed pressure water-spraying and water-based fire-extinguishing systems for cabin balconies

Fixed pressure water-spraying fire-extinguishing systems, as required by SOLAS regulation II-2/10.6.1.3, for the protection of cabin balconies where furniture and furnishings other than those of restricted fire risk are used should be shown by testing to have the capability of suppressing typical fires expected in such areas, and preventing them from spreading to the adjacent cabins and to other balconies. These Guidelines should be applied when approving fixed pressure water-spraying and water-based fire-extinguishing systems for cabin balconies on passenger ships to be installed on or after 1 July 2008.
