The Maritime Safety Committee

  1 The Maritime Safety Committee, at its seventy-first session (19 to 28 May 1999), approved, with a view to ensuring uniform application of the fire test provisions of the FTP Code containing vague wording which is open to diverging interpretations, the unified interpretations prepared by the Sub-Committee on Fire Protection, at its forty-third session, as set out in the annex.

  2 Member Governments are invited to use the annexed interpretations as guidance when applying relevant provisions of the FTP Code for the testing of new materials tested on or after 21 May 1999, in order to fulfill the requirements of the 1974 SOLAS Convention, and to bring these interpretations to the attention of all parties concerned.
