  2 The Guidelines serve to outline the methodology for the engineering analysis required by SOLAS regulation II-2/17 on Alternative design and arrangements, applying to a specific fire safety system, design or arrangements for which the approval of an alternative design deviating from the prescriptive requirements of SOLAS chapter II-2 is sought.
