Appendix – Description of the constructions in the accommodation spaces shown in the figures

Figure 3.1-1:
- B-15 corridor bulkheads from deck to deck.
- class C corridor ceiling (where provided).
- cabin of B-0 continuous construction.
- cabin bulkheads (except the door) are not common with corridors or other cabins.
- toilet unit separated with a class C bulkhead from the cabin.
Figure 3.1-2:
- B-15 corridor bulkheads from deck to deck.
- class C corridor ceiling (where provided).
- cabin with B-15 bulkhead against corridor and B-0 bulkheads against other spaces.
- cabin with B-0 continuous ceiling.
- cabin bulkheads are common with corridors and other cabins.
- toilet unit separated with a class C bulkhead from the cabin.
- no gap between the toilet units
- no ceiling in the toilet service locker.
Figure 3.1-3:
- same as 3.1-2 but the toilet unit is fully separate including ceiling and there is a gap between the cabin and toilet unit. All bulkheads of the toilet unit are B-0.
Figure 3.2-1:
- same as 3.1-1 but the corridor is of B-15 continuous construction.
- cabins have B-15 ceiling and B-15 bulkhead against outer shell
Figure 3.2-2:
- same as 3.2-1 but the cabins are of B-15 continuous construction.
Figure 3.2-3:
- B-15 corridor bulkheads from deck to continuous B-15 ceiling on both sides.
- cabin with B-0 bulkheads against other cabins and B-15 bulkhead against corridor and void spaces (including service locker for toilet unit).
- cabin with B-15 continuous ceiling.
- cabin bulkheads are common with corridors and other cabins.
- toilet unit separated with a class C bulkhead from the cabin.
- no ceiling in the toilet service locker.
Figure 3.2-4:
- same as 3.2-3 but there is no gap between the toilet units and the toilet service locker is provided with a ceiling.
Figure 3.2-5:
- same as 3.2-1 but there is only a single B-15 panel between cabin and corridor.
- cabins have B-15 ceiling and B-15 bulkhead against outer shell.
Figure 4.1-1:
- B-0 corridor bulkheads from deck to deck.
- class C corridor ceiling (where provided).
- cabin with class C bulkheads and ceiling.
- cabin bulkheads are not common with corridors and other cabins.
- toilet unit separated with a class C bulkhead from the cabin.
- no ceiling in the toilet service locker.
Figure 4.1-2:
- same as 4.1-1 but the corridor is formed by B-0 bulkheads from deck to the corridor ceiling made of a material which, in thickness and composition, is acceptable in the construction of "B" class divisions.
Figure 4.1-3:
- same as 4.1-1 but the cabin bulkheads are common between corridors and other cabins.
Figure 4.1-4:
- same as 4.1-2 but the cabin bulkheads are common between corridors and other cabins.
Figure 4.1-5:
- same as 4.1-3 but corridor ceiling is B-0 and the corridor bulkhead extension is class B material.
Figure 4.2:
- the corridor B-0 bulkheads are from deck to deck.
- the cabin bulkheads and ceilings are made of combustible materials except that the bulkhead between the cabin and the corridor is B-0.
Figure 7.4-1:.
- the corridor is of B-0 continuous construction.
- the cabins are of B-0 continuous constructions.
Figure 7.4-2:
- the corridor is of continuous B-0 construction with a single element against cabins.
- the cabins are of continuous B-0 constructions.
- there are single panels between cabin and cabin, and between cabin and corridor.
