ES-TRIN, Article 13.04(5) and Article 13.05(14)(a) and (15)(a) - Permanently installed firefighting systems
Question:
To which elements does the type approval relate? How is the system’s compliance with the requirements in the IMO resolution in question ensured?
Answer:
Firefighting systems which require type approval according to ES-TRIN Articles 13.04 and 13.05 do not need to comply with the complete referenced IMO resolution (i.e. A.800(19), MSC/Circ. 1165 or MSC/Circ. 1270). The requirement is limited to the type-approval in accordance with the IMO Resolution (e.g. the type-approval may be limited to the nozzles only). The number and location of nozzles used in a space should be in accordance with their capacity as mentioned in the type- approval certificate.
