Question

Can a single Module B certificate cover both fire rated bulkheads and decks?

Recommendation

The answer is 바카라 사이트淣o바카라 사이트�.

Fire rated bulkheads and decks, even though of similar construction, should be considered, in the light of their different arrangement on board, as different equipment. To avoid confusion, module B for fire rated bulkheads and decks should be issued separately. The same approach should be adopted for equipment under items UK/3.22, UK/3.26 and UK/3.27, i.e. Module B should be issued separately for the different orientation(s) (vertical or horizontal) such equipment have been tested.바카라 사이트�
