23、he result of a strenuous five-year work programme, which began in 2006, of the IMOs expert body on fire safety, the Fire Protection Sub-Committee. The Code, designed and approved by IMO as a mandatory instrument under chapter II-2 of the SOLAS Convention and the International Code of Safety for High

24、-Speed Craft, 2000 (2000 HSC Code), is a direct succession to the FTP Code adopted by resolution MSC.61(67) in 1996. In that respect, the new Code, which enters into force on 1 July 2012, has its structure conforming to that of the previous instrument; however, unlike the latter, it represents by it

25、self practically a self-contained instrument intended for direct application by the industry.The 2010 FTP Code was developed with the aim to enhance user friend-liness, ensure more uniform application of the requirements on fire testing and generalize the experience gained so far from the applicatio

26、n of resolu-tion MSC.61(67). Bearing in mind the intent of developers to formulate the requirements for fire test procedures in a form which would be as close to general industrys procedures as possible, one of the aims of the Code was to update references to all ISO applicable standards.The present

27、 Code contains requirements for the testing process itself: testing laboratories, format of test reports, and provides procedures of type and case-by-case approval of materials, components and structures intended for maritime applications. Taking due account of alternative designs and arrange-ments

28、which have been made possible by virtue of SOLAS regulation II-2/17, adopted by resolution MSC.99(73) in 2000, the Code also provides for the possibility of conducting alternative tests on a proviso that the level of safety of the tested materials, components and structures set by the Convention is

29、not compromised and corresponds to at least that contained in its prescrip-tive requirements.2010 FTP Code2Annex 1 of the Code sets fire test procedures as follows:* non-combustibility test (part 1); smoke and toxicity test (part 2); test for “A”, “B” and “F” class divisions (part 3); test for fire

30、door control systems (part 4); test for surface flammability (part 5); test for vertically supported textiles and films (part 7); test for upholstered furniture (part 8); test for bedding components (part 9); test for fire-restricting materials for high-speed craft (part 10); and test for fire-resis

31、ting divisions of high-speed craft (part 11).Annexes 2 through 4 were intended as reference materials for users of the FTP Code, i.e., designers, manufacturers, testing entities, owners, operators and Administrations in order to provide them with additional details and guidance on how to define a re

32、asonable and justified approach towards testing various standard materials and structures, with the relevant references to the corresponding SOLAS and HSC regulations. *Part 6 of annex 1 is left blank, since part 5 of annex 1 to the Code combines the requirements previously contained in parts 5: Tes

33、t for surface flammability and 6: Test for primary deck coverings of the preceding Code. Thus the numbering of parts in the old and new Codes remains unchanged.INTERNATIONAL CODE FOR APPLICATION OF FIRE TEST PROCEDURES, 2010 (2010 FTP Code)INTERNATIONAL CODE FOR APPLICATION OF FIRE TEST PROCEDURES,
