Section 2.1.3.1 (including 2.6.11.1 and 2.6.11.2) Definition of "downflooding point"

 Downflooding points include all openings, irrespective of size, that would permit passage of water through a water/weathertight bulkhead or deck, e.g. opening windows. Downflooding points exclude openings kept closed to an appropriate standard of water/weathertightness at all times other than when required for access or for operation of portable submersible bilge pumps in an emergency, e.g. non-opening windows of similar strength and weathertight integrity to the structure in which they are installed.
