(EI) 1.1.4.6 examining the fixed fire-fighting system for the machinery, cargo, vehicle, special category and ro-ro spaces, as appropriate, and confirming that the installation tests have been satisfactorily completed and that its means of operation are clearly marked;
(EI) 1.1.4.7 checking that fixed carbon dioxide fire-extinguishing systems for the protection of machinery spaces and cargo pump-rooms, where applicable, are provided with two separate controls, one for opening of the g as piping and one for discharging the g as from the storage container, each of them located in a release box clearly identified for the particular space;
(EI) 1.1.5.3 examining the fixed fire-fighting system for the cargo pump-room, confirming that the installation tests have been satisfactorily completed and that its means of operation are clearly marked and, when appropriate, checking the operation of the remote means for closing the various openings;
(EA) 1.2 Annual surveys
Preparation during Annual Inspection –
* Confirm all certificate related to CO2 system is in order (Installation certificate; type approval
