1 Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers should not
be placed in accommodation spaces. In control stations and other spaces
containing electrical or electronic equipment or appliances necessary
for the safety of the craft, fire extinguishers should be provided
with extinguishing media which are neither electrically conductive
nor harmful to the equipment and appliances.
2 Fire extinguishers should be ready for use and
located in easily visible places such that they can be reached quickly
and easily at any time in the event of a fire. In addition, the fire
extinguisher should be located such that their serviceability is not
impaired by the weather, vibration or other external factors. Portable
fire extinguishers should be provided with devices to identify whether
they have been used.
