Notes: To be applied to tables 87.1 and 87.2 as appropriate.
a No special requirements are imposed upon bulkheads in methods IIC and IIIC fire protection.
b In case of method IIIC “B” class bulkheads of “B-0” rating shall be provided between spaces or groups of spaces of 50m² and over in area.
c For clarification as to which applies, see clauses 86 and 88 of this Code.
d Where spaces are of the same numerical category and superscript 4 appears, a bulkhead or deck of the rating shown in the tables is only required when the adjacent spaces are for a different purpose, e.g. in category (9). A galley next to a galley does not require a bulkhead but a galley next to a paint room requires an A-0* bulkhead.
e Bulkheads separating the wheelhouse, chartroom and radio room from each other may be “B-0” rating.
f A 0 rating may be used if no dangerous goods are intended to be carried, or if such goods are stowed not less than 3 m horizontally from such bulkhead.
g For cargo spaces in which dangerous goods are intended to be carried, clause 95(3)(e) of this Code applies.
h Bulkheads and decks separating ro-ro cargo spaces shall be capable of being closed reasonably gastight and such divisions shall have “A” class integrity in so far as is reasonable and practicable in the opinion of the Chief Surveyor.
i Fire insulation need not be fitted if the machinery space in category (7), in the opinion of the Chief Surveyor, has little or no fire risk.
- Where an asterisk appears in the tables, the division is required to be of steel or other equivalent material but is not required to be of “A” class standard.

(1) Stairways which penetrate only a single deck...
