IMO MSC 61 (67) Introduction

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 be certified for fire testing, and only certificates issued by notified certification bodies are recognized. The testing is conducted according to standard IMO MSC 61 (67).

IMO MSC 61 (67) & IMO FTPC

--IMO MSC 61 (67) A standard used by flag State regulatory authorities and competency bodies to demonstrate that products installed on ships comply with the SOLAS fire safety requirements.

--IMO MSC 61 (67) is also used by fire testing laboratories for fire testing and evaluation of ship materials

--IMO MSC 61 (67) applies to products requiring testing, evaluation and certification in accordance with the Maritime Convention Fire Test Procedure Clause (FTPC)

IMO FTPC flame retardant fire test :

In the standard fire test, the object should have the ability to meet the required stability and/or integrity and/or thermal insulation and/or other performance requirements within a set period of time.

IMO FTPC Flame Retardant Fire Test – Reaction to Fire:

As the name suggests, if a fire breaks out, a relatively safe place cannot guarantee safety without certainty of safety. Therefore, materials for vehicle construction and trim must be non-flammable and have a low overall release of heat, smoke, and toxic gases.

IMO FTPC flame retardant and fire test - fire test to prove

--acceptable control of fire hazard

--Achieve acceptable control of the total levels of heat, smoke and toxic gases when all major material surfaces are exposed to a fire source

--materials or items required to be used as fireproof panels, as well as materials and items required to function when exposed to fire sources, should achieve acceptable fireproof performance

fireproof materials

--products (sealing rings)

--products

--retardant coating

--materials

--glue

--cables

--Fire-resistant fabrics (curtains, seat covers, carpets, etc.)

--furniture
