According to IMO FTPC Annex 2 (IMO Resolution MSC.61 (67) Annex 2)
surface materials with both the total heat release (Q) of not more than 0,2 MJ
and the peak heat release rate (Q,) of not more than 1,0 kW determined in
accordance with resolution A.653(16) are considered to comply with the
requirements of IMO FTPC Part 2 - Smoke and toxicity test - without further
testing.
The results relate only to the behaviour of the test specimens of a product
under the particular conditions of the test; they are not intended to be the sole
criterion for assessing the potential fire hazard of the product in use.
‘The tested coating system Penguard Tie Coat 100 (thickness < 30 pm) +
Penguard Express (thickness < 145 pm) + Hartop XP (thickness < 50 um)
on the 2,0 mm thick steel panel met the requirements for
low flame spread for bulkhead, wall and ceiling linings
according to IMO FTPC Part 5 (IMO Resolution MSC.61(67) Part 5).
According to test results the tested coating system on the 2,0 mm thick steel
panel, described above, meets the criteria for smoke and toxicity for materials
used as the surface of bulkheads, linings or ceilings given by IMO PTPC Part 2
(IMO Resolution MSC.61(67) Part 2) without further testing.
Approval of the product may be obtained only on application to the appropriate
‘Administration.

\VIT EXPERT SERVICES LTD ‘Appendix 1
DESCRIPTION OF THE METHOD
IMO FTPC Part 5 - (IMO Resolution MSC.61(67) Annex 1 Part 5) Test for surface flammability
‘The test procedure and evaluation shall be in accordance with IMO Resolution A.653(16) Recommendation
on Improved Fire Test Procedures for Surface Flammability of Bulkhead, Ceiling and Deck Finish
Materials
Specimens
Size: 155*2 mm x 800 mm. Amount: 10 pes.
Materials and composites of normal thickness 50 mm or less are attached, by means of an adhesive if
appropriate, to the substrate to which they will be attached in practice, Over SO mm thick specimens shall be
reduced to the thickness of 50*3 mm by cutting away the unexposed face.
Before test the specimens should be conditioned to constant moisture content at a temperature of 23 + 2°C
and a relative humidity of 50 + 10 %.
Test procedure
The specimen is inserted to the test apparatus in a vertical position so that its longer side is horizontal. The
specimen is exposed to an exact defined heat radiation caused by burning the mixture of methane gas and
air in a radiation panel. The highest intensity of heat radiation at the nearest end of the specimen is 50,5
kW/m? and it decreases from this value towards the other end according to a defined curve. During the test
the time of ignition, spread of flame, extinguishment of flame and heat for sustained burning are measured.
Criteria
Materials giving average values for all the surface flammability criteria not exceeding those listed below,
are considered to meet the requirement for low flame spread.
Bulkhead, wall and ceiling linings: Floor coverings:
CFE 2 20,0 kW/m? CFE 2 7,0 kW/m?
Que = 1,5 Mim? Qe = 0,25 Min?
Q <0,7MI Q << 2,0MI
Q < 40kW Qp <10,0kW
where
CFE = critical flux at extinguishment
Qs = heat for sustained burning
Q = total heat release
Qp = peak heat release rate
