Legislation originating from the EU
When the UK left the EU, legislation.gov.uk published EU legislation that had been published by the EU up to IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.). On legislation.gov.uk, these items of legislation are kept up-to-date with any amendments made by the UK since then.

5 Fire integrity of bulkheads and decks in new ships carrying not more than 36 passengers and existing class B ships carrying more than 36 passengers (R 27)
NEW CLASS B, C, AND D SHIPS CARRYING NOT MORE THAN 36 PASSENGERS AND EXISTING CLASS B SHIPS CARRYING MORE THAN 36 PASSENGERS:
.1In addition to complying with the specific provisions for fire integrity of bulkheads and decks mentioned elsewhere in this part, the minimum fire integrity of bulkheads and decks shall be as prescribed in tables 5.1 and 5.2.
In approval of structural precautions for fire protection in new ships, account shall be taken of the risk of heat transfer between heat bridges at intersection points, and where the thermal barring devices terminate.
.2The following requirements shall govern application of the tables:
.1
Tables 5.1 and 5.2 shall apply respectively to the bulkheads and decks separating adjacent spaces.
.2
For determining the appropriate fire integrity standards to be applied to divisions between adjacent spaces, such spaces are classified according to their fire risk as shown in categories (1) to (11) below. The title of each category is intended to be typical rather than restrictive. The number in parentheses preceding each category refers to the applicable column or row in the tables.
(1)
Control stations:
spaces containing emergency sources of power and lighting,
wheelhouse and chartroom,
spaces containing the ship’s radio equipment,
fire-extinguishing rooms, fire control rooms and fire-recording stations,
control room for propulsion machinery when located outside the propulsion machinery space,
spaces containing centralised fire alarm equipment.
(2)
Corridors:
passenger and crew corridors and lobbies.
(3)
Accommodation spaces:
spaces as defined in Regulation II-2/A/2.10 excluding corridors.
(4)
Stairways:
interior stairways, lifts and escalators (other than those wholly contained within the machinery spaces) and enclosures thereto,
in this connection, a stairway which is enclosed only at one level shall be regarded as part of the space from which it is not separated by a fire door.
(5)
Service spaces (low risk):
lockers and storerooms not having provisions for the storage of flammable liquids and having areas less than 4 m2 and drying rooms and laundries.
(6)
Machinery spaces of category A:
spaces as defined in Regulation II-2/A/2.19.1.
(7)
Other machinery spaces:
spaces as defined in Regulation II-2/A/2.19.2 excluding machinery spaces of category A.
(8)
Cargo spaces:
all spaces used for cargo (including cargo oil tanks) and trunkways and hatchways to such spaces, other than special category spaces.
(9)
Service spaces (high risk):
galleys, pantries containing cooking appliances, paint and lamp rooms, lockers and storerooms having areas of 4 m2 or more, spaces for the storage of flammable liquids, and workshops other than those forming part of the machinery spaces.
(10)
Open decks:
open deck spaces and enclosed promenades having no fire risk. Air spaces (the space outside superstructures and deckhouses).
(11)
Special category spaces:
spaces as defined in Regulation II-2/A/2.18.
.3
In determining the applicable fire integrity standard of a boundary between two spaces within a main vertical zone or horizontal zone which is not protected by an automatic sprinkler system complying with the provisions of Regulation II-2/A/8 or between such zones neither of which is so protected, the higher of the two values given in the tables shall apply.
.4
In determining the applicable fire integrity standard of a boundary between two spaces within a main vertical zone or horizontal zone which is protected by an automatic sprinkler system complying with the provisions of Regulation II-2/A/8 or between such zones both of which are so protected, the lesser of the two values given in the tables shall apply. Where a sprinklered zone and a non-sprinklered zone meet within accommodation and service spaces, the higher of the two values given in the tables shall apply to the division between the zones.
.3Continuous “B” class ceilings or linings, in association with the relevant decks or bulkheads, may be accepted as contributing, wholly or in part, to the required insulation and integrity of a division.
.4External boundaries which are required in Regulation 1.1 to be of steel or other equivalent material may be pierced for the fitting of windows and sidescuttles provided that there is no requirement for such boundaries to have “A” class integrity elsewhere in this part. Similarly, in such boundaries which are not required to have “A” class integrity, doors may be of materials to the satisfaction of the Administration of the flag State.

| a For clarification as to which applies, see Regulations II-2/B/3 and 8. | ||||||||||||
| b Where spaces are of the same numerical category and superscript b appears, a bulkhead or deck of the rating shown in the tables is only required when the adjacent spaces are for a different purpose, e.g. in category (9). A galley next to a galley does not require a bulkhead but a galley next to a paint room requires an “A-0” bulkhead. | ||||||||||||
| c Bulkheads separating the wheelhouse and chartroom from each other may be “B-0” rating. | ||||||||||||
| d See paragraph .2.3 and .2.4 of this Regulation. | ||||||||||||
| e For the application of Regulation 2.1.2, “B-0” and “C”, where appearing in table 5.1, shall be read as “A-0”. | ||||||||||||
| f Fire insulation need not be fitted if the machinery space in category (7) has little or no fire risk. | ||||||||||||
| g Where an asterisk appears in the tables, the division is required to be of steel or other equivalent material but is not required to be of “A” class standard. In ships, which are constructed on or after 1 January 2003, however, where a deck, except in a category (10) space, is penetrated for the passage of electric cables, pipes and ventilation ducts, such penetration shall be made tight to prevent the passage of flame and smoke. Divisions between control stations (emergency generators) and open decks may have air intake openings without means for closure, unless a fixed gas fire-fighting system is fitted. For the application of Regulation II-2/B/2.1.2. an asterisk, where appearing in table 5.2, except for categories (8) and (10), shall be read as “A-0”. | ||||||||||||
