 It has been recognised that the existence of many CO2 single release control systems presents an unacceptable level of risk to crew personnel.
In view of this, the IMO has developed amendments to SOLAS regulation II-2/10 (resolution MSC.256 (84)) which require all carbon dioxide systems to have two separate release controls. The amended text reads as follows:
By the first scheduled dry-docking after 1 January 2010, fixed carbon dioxide
fire-extinguishing systems for the protection of machinery spaces and cargo pump-rooms on ships constructed before 1 July 2002 shall comply with the provisions of paragraph 2.2.2 of chapter 5 of the Fire Safety Systems Code.
