IMO FTPC Part 2: Smoke Toxicity Test – Marine Equipment Flame Retardant Test, Fire Test
IMO FTPC Introduction to flame retardant and fire protection testing of marine materials
Ships sailing in international waters must comply with the regulations of SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea). Ships include ships, warships, etc. Since it is difficult to escape from a ship in the event of a fire, the fire resistance of its materials is of particular concern.
EU (European Union) and USCG (United States Coast Guard) stipulate that all materials used on ships must undergo fire test certification and only recognize certificates issued by notified certification bodies. The tests are conducted according to standard IMO MSC 61 (67) (IMO).
IMO MSC 61(67) standard
--IMO MSC 61(67)：Adoption of the international code for application of fire test procedures
--IMO MSC 61(67) : Adoption of international regulations on fire test procedures

Floor coveringsFloor materials | Dm≤500 |
Primary deck coveringsPrimary deck coverings | Dm≤400 |
Plastic pipes and cablesPlastic pipes and cables | Dm≤400 |
of each component of toxic gas:
Carbon monoxide CO: 1450ppm
Hydrogen bromide HBr: 600ppm
Hydrogen chloride HCl: 600ppm
Hydrogen cyanide HCN: 140ppm
Hydrogen fluoride HF: 600ppm
Sulfur dioxide SO2；120ppm
Nitrogen oxide NOx：350ppm
WheelMark certification and American USCG certification
At the same time, ship materials/equipment used on ships registered in Europe need to be tested and wheelmark certified according to the requirements of the Ship Equipment Directive MED 96/98/EC, while ships registered in the United States require USCG certification.
