  1.1 SOLAS regulations II-2/9.2.2.3.2 and II-2/9.2.2.4.2.2 define open deck spaces as areas having no significant fire risk, and for enclosed promenades that furnishings shall be restricted to deck furniture. All external areas should be evaluated using this part 2 to determine if there is an increased level of fire risk due to the presence of combustibles or ignition sources.

  1.2 Measures to mitigate the risk should be implemented where appropriate.
