LR II.2 Ship survival capability, fire protection and fire-extinction and operational requirements

LR II.2.1 The IBC Code contains requirements in respect of ship survival capability (damage stability), fire protection and fire-extinction and operational matters which are not within the scope of classification as defined in the Rules for Ships, but are the responsibility of the National Authority or Administration, see also LR II.3 Executive responsibility, responsible for issuing the International Certificate of Fitness.

LR II.2.2 Accordingly, LR does not require that ship survival capability, fire protection and fire-extinction be investigated for purposes of classification. An asterisk is employed in the ship type notation to indicate that this has not been considered.

LR II.2.3 Similarly, operational requirements which appear in the IBC Code will not be dealt with by LR for classification purposes.
