57. The WG did not agree that it was necessary to add A or B designations, since A and B-class items are differentiated by color.
58. WG decided to delete all references to "safety plan", since it is not necessary to use.
59. WG decided to add capacity of survival craft to symbols 2.4, 2.6, and 2.7.
60. The WG did not agree that the proposed symbols were necessary, since the mentioned configurations are not addressed in SOLAS.
61. The WG decided to add text in 3.5.2 to require notation on the plan if lifejackets are stowed in cabins.
62. The WG agreed to revise the portable radio symbol 2.19 for consistency with the IMO symbol.
63. The WG agreed with the proposal to change the heading of the Safety Plan in Annex B, and to correct the cabin numbering as proposed.
64. The WG discussed the use of symbols outside the plan in Annex B, and agreed this aspect is thoroughly covered in the standard text.
65. The WG discussed the Finnish proposals for refinements to the Annex B plans at length. At the suggestion of the Convener, it was decided that frames should be added to the plans. The WG noted some areas where arrangements did not appear to strictly comply with SOLAS, but it was decided that the arrangements shown are illustrative only and need not be in strict compliance with the IMO requirements. Nevertheless, the Convener indicated that he will review the sketches for clarity and consistency with the relevant requirements to the maximum extent possible.
66. The WG agreed to change the title of the "Fire plan: Means of escape" to "Safety plan: Means of escape" as suggested.
Japanese comments (JMSA e-mail of 16 September 1999; with reference to the specific clause or figure affected)
1 The WG did not agree to the wording changes suggested to the Scope, considering that the existing words were both internally consistent and consistent with IMO terminology.
2.3 The WG did not agree to the suggested wording change, since the note to definition 2.4 makes clear that a fire plan is the same thing as a fire control plan.
2.4 The WG did not agree to remove the modifiers "fixed" and "portable." The WG agreed to add reference to SOLAS Chapter II-2 at the end of the definition.
2.5 (should be 2.8? now 2.9) The WG did not agree to delete "primary" and "secondary" with reference to escape routes since they are used in some IMO documents.
2.7 (now 2.8), all references to SOLAS 74 in the document will note "as amended," as appropriate.
2.8 See 2.4 above.
2.9 Removed definition of safety plan altogether since it is not used elsewhere in the text of the standard.
2.10 The WG did not agree to the proposed changes in the term and definition. Made minor editorial adjustment to definition text for clarity.
3.1 The WG did not agree to delete the paragraph as suggested.
3.1.2 The WG agreed to divide this paragraph into its functional parts as suggested. The WG did not agree to the proposed terminology changes.
3.1.4 The WG decided to leave this paragraph as is.
