Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

Introduction
Deck covering is a covering layer which is laid on the surface of a ship's steel deck with properties such
as thermal resistance, fire resistance, vibration resistance, noise insulation and anti-skid.
In order to meet the requirements of IMO SOLAS, the decks of different spaces of ships should have
certain requirements for fire-resisting division class. These requirements apply to laying deck covering.
The fire resistance capability is examined in a fire test specified in International Code for Application
of Fire Test procedure (IMO
