摘要

The Maritime Safety Committee, at its seventy-eighth session (12 to 21 May 2004), with a view to providing more specific guidance for vague expressions such as 'to the discretion of the Administration', which are open to different interpretations contained in International Marine Organization (IMO) instruments, approved by the unified interpretations of SOLAS chapter II-2, the Fire Safety Systems (FSS) Code, the Fire Test Procedures (FTP) Code and related fire test procedures prepared by the Sub-Committee on Fire Protection, set out in the annex. Member Governments are invited to use the annexed unified interpretations as guidance when applying relevant provisions of SOLAS chapter II-2, the FSS Code, the FTP Code and related fire test procedures to fire protection construction, installation, arrangements and equipment to be installed on board ships on or after 1 July 2004 and to bring the unified interpretations to the attention of all parties concerned.
