Fire Test Center have rich experience to provide IMO FTPC fire test to Marine Equipment.
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).
IMO MSC 61(67) - Standard
> IMO MSC 61(67)：Adoption of the international code for application of fire test procedures
IMO MSC 61（67）/ IMO FTPC Part 1: Non-combustibility test
> IMO MSC 61(67) / IMO FTPC Part 1：Non-combustibility test
> ISO1182: Fire test - Building materials-Non-combustibility test
The non-combustibility shall be verified in accordance with the test procedure in the standard ISO 1182:1990 except that instead of Annex A “Criteria for evaluation” of this standard all the following criteria shall be satisfied:
1. The average furnace thermocouple termperature rise as calculated in 8.1.2 of ISO 1182 does not exceed 30℃
2. The average surface thermocouple temperature rise as calculated in 8.1.2 of ISO 1182 does not exceed 30℃
3. The mean duration of sustained flaming as calculated in 8.2.2 of ISO 1182 does not exceed 10s; and
4. The average mass loss as calculated in 8.3 of ISO 1182 does not exceed 50%
Wheel Mark and USCG (United State Coast Guard)
At the same time, equipment carried on board ships registered under the flags of the European Union Member States should be tested in accordance with the Marine Equipment Directive 96/98 EC (MED) and achieve Wheel mark Certificate, Also, equipment carried on board ships registered in America should achieve USCG Certificate
