                           and equipment within the boundary of the Internal Communication system.
                        
                        
                        
                      
                     
                     
                     
                        
                        
                        Approval will be in respect of the integrity of
                           the Internal Communication System (including secondary and emergency
                           communications), communication system configuration, EMC enclosure
                           configuration (where appropriate), control, monitoring, alert and
                           safety systems, and other critical support systems.
                        
                        
                        
                      
                     
                     
                     
                        
                        
                        The Internal Communication system is to be designed
                           and manufactured in accordance with a relevant International or National
                           Standard acceptable to Lloyd’s Register (hereinafter referred
