Section 3 Fire Surveillance
301. Fire detection and alarm systems
1. Submersibles comprising more than one internal space should be equipped with an automatic fire detection system.
2. The fire detection system should actuate visual and audible signals at least at the vehicle's control platform. Fire alarms should be mounted in the individual spaces of the submersible.
302. Fire detection systems
1. Fire detection systems including central fire detection stations, fire detectors and the wiring of the detection loops require the approval of the Society.
2. Fire detection systems are to be so constructed that any fault, e.g. supply failure, short-circuit or wire breakage in the detection loops, or the removal of a detector from its base triggers a visual and audible signal at the central fire detection station.
3. The design and arrangement of fire detection and alarm systems are to conform to the Pt 6 of
Rules for the Classification of Steel Ships.
