3 Fire plans and safety plans
3.1 General
3.1.1 The number and types of plans to be carded on board shall be determined by the competent Authority.
3.1.2 No illustration in any plan shall be made to a scale smaller than 1：200 with minimum line point size of 4 1/2 for Main vertical zone divisions, 2 1/4 for A and B class subdivisions, and 3/4 for other lines. Large plans may be divided for clarity. Fire protection appliances and structural fire protection shall be placed in separate plans.
Main vertical zones, if any, shall be marked and identified in both plans. Depending on the quantity of information to be taken into account for presentation, more than one particular plan may be combined or consolidated, under the judgement of the competent Authority, in one drawing. However, plans of this type must be properly legible.
In addition, consideration may be given to drawing up separate fire plans for machinery spaces and deck areas.
3.1.3 A legend of symbols and explanations shall be a constituent part of any plan and contain a list of the graphical symbols used in the plan, together with the appropriate explanations, and may include, in some instances, additional special information such as the type of extinguishing media used in the fixed fire-extinguishing system(s). As a rule, the legend shall be inserted in the appropriate drawing. It shall indicate, next to each symbol, the number of each particular item of fire protection equipment and arrangements provided. For clarity, preferably only one font type shall be used for text in plans developed in accordance with this Standard. The minimum letter point size shall be 12.
3.1.4 The information required shall be shown deck by deck; names of internal spaces and cabin numbering shall also be shown.
3.1.5 Symbols shall be shown at the actual position on the general arrangement plan but, to avoid clutter, symbols may be taken outside the plan with a dot and line to indicate the actual position. in the latter case the line shall have a point size greater than the minimum line point size adopted for the general arrangement plan.
3.1.6 Texts in plans and booklets shall be in the official language of the flag State and, if the language is not English or French, be accompanied by a translation. The working language shall be added in addition to English or French.
3.1.7 In the case of a passenger ship carrying more than 36 passengers, fire plans, including those consolidated in the form of a booklet, shall contain the following additional particulars：
a) ship's keel laying date and application of the SOLAS Conventions and amendments;
b) original method (I, II, III with or without sprinklers etc.) of fire safety construction, as applicable;
c) which additional fire safety measures, if any, were applied; and
d) dates and descriptions of any modifications to the ship which altered its fire safety.
3.1.7.1 For modifications carried out before 1 October 1994, if the dates and descriptions of such modifications are not available, at least the fire safety method (I, II, III or the SOLAS Convention and amendments thereto) as presently used in the ship shall be stated. Where more than one method or a combination of methods is used in different locations of the ship, this shall be specified.
