3 Preparation of plans
3.1 General
3.1.1 The number and types of plans to be carried on board a particular ship shall meet the requirements of 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 divisions, and 3/4 for other lines. Large plans may be subdivided for clarity.
3.1.3 Fire protection appliances and structural fire protection should be placed in separate plans. Main vertical zones, if any, shall be marked and identified in both fire protection appliances and structural fire protection plans. However, 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, provided that the combined or consolidated plans are properly legible. In addition, consideration may be given to drawing up separate fire plans for machinery spaces and deck areas.
