The IGC Code contains requirements for surveys and certification, ship
survival capability, location of cargo tanks and fire protection and fire
extinction, personnel protection and operational matters which are not within the
scope of classification as defined in the Rules for Ships and LR does not require
these to be investigated for the purpose of classification, (see also LR
II.5). However, these matters are the responsibility of the National Authority or
Administration responsible for issuing the International Certificate of Fitness.
