Introduction
While this International Standard provides the marine industry with a means for evaluating the
effectiveness of fire-extinguishing systems for a variety of grease-laden cooking appliances that may be
found in a galley, it is also referenced by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) International
Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), 1974, as amended, and provides organizations who
are party to SOLAS with a means of ensuring conformance of deep-fat cooking equipment with the fire
suppression requirements prescribed in SOLAS.
