IMO FTPC Part 2: Smoke and toxicity – Fire Test to Marine Equipment
& Ecosafene Products Service Co.,Ltd have rich experience to provide IMO FTPC part 2 fire test to Marine Equipment
Ä IMO MSC 61(67) - Introduction
Ships sailing in International Waters need to meet the requirements of SOLAS. The EU and USCG require certification of products placed on board these ships and other Flag States require Type Approval Certificates to be issued for products. Fire test reports are not accepted alone and you will need to contact a notified body for marine Certification to attain these documents, and the test shall comply with the IMO Resolution MSC 61(67).
ü MO MSC 61(67) - Standard
‐ IMO MSC 61(67)：Adoption of the international code for application of fire test procedures
Ä IMO MSC 61（67）/ IMO FTPC Part 2: Fire test to smoke and toxicity
ü Reference Standard：
‐ ISO 5659:1994 – Plastics-Smoke generation, Part 2 Determination of optical density by a single chamber test
ü Application:
Where a material is required not to be capable of producing excessive quantities of smoke and toxic products or not to give rise to toxic hazards at elevated temperatures, the material shall comply with this part.
