3、r permission in writingfrom the International Maritime Organization.ForewordThe International Code for Fire Safety Systems (FSS Code) was adoptedby the Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) at its seventy-third session(December 2000) by resolution MSC.98(73) in order to provideinternational standards for
4、the fire safety systems and equipmentrequired by chapter II-2 of the 1974 SOLAS Convention. The Code ismade mandatory under SOLAS by amendments to the Conventionadopted by the MSC at the same session (resolution MSC.99(73) andentered into force on 1 July 2002. The MSC adopted amendments tochapters 4
5、, 5, 6, 7 and 9 of the Code by resolutions MSC.206(81) andMSC.217(82). These new amendments are expected to be accepted on1 January 2008 and 1 January 2010, as applicable, and enter into force on1 July 2008 and 1 July 2010, as applicable. The amendments to theaforementioned chapters, as adopted by r
6、esolutions MSC.206(81) andMSC.217(82), are contained in pages 351365 for information purposesonly.In order to make this publication as comprehensive as possible for use byequipment and systems manufacturers, shipowners and operators,shipyards, classification societies and Administrations, all relate
7、d firesafety standards and guidelines adopted by either the Assembly or theMSC and referred to in the FSS Code have been incorporated, asappropriate, in this publication for the guidance and convenience ofusers.Please always refer to the IMO website for updated circulars.iiiContentsPagePreamble . 1C
