Question:
How shall the required quantity of Class F fire extinguishers in the galley of a passenger vessel be determined?
Answer:
The total content of Class F fire extinguishers that need to be available in galleys of passenger vessels shall be determined according to the total amount of vegetable and/or animal oils and fats present in the galley. The total content of all fire extinguishers shall be calculated using the extinguishing capacity as defined in the European Standard EN 3-7. A margin of 25% should be added to the quantity of extinguishing agent.
