46 C.F.R. Subpart 92.05—General Fire Protection
Title 46 - Shipping
(a) The general construction of the vessel shall be such as to minimize fire hazards insofar as is reasonable and practicable. (a) Internal combustion engine exhausts, boiler and galley uptakes, and similar sources of ignition shall be kept clear of and suitably insulated from any woodwork or other combustible matter. (a) Lamp, paint, and oil lockers and similar compartments shall be constructed of steel or shall be wholly lined with metal. (a) The provisions of this section shall apply to all vessels contracted for on or after October 1, 1958. (b) When a compartment containing the emergency source of electric power, or vital components thereof, adjoins a space containing either the ship's service generators or machinery necessary for the operation of the ship's service generators, all common bulkheads and/or decks shall be protected by approved “structural insulation” or other approved material. This protection shall be such as to be capable of preventing an excessive temperature rise in the space containing the emergency source of electric power, or vital components thereof, for a period of at least one hour in the event of fire in the adjoining space. Bulkheads or decks meeting Class A–60 requirements, as defined by §72.05–10 of Subchapter H (Passenger Vessels) of this chapter, will be considered as meeting the requirements of this paragraph.
