accordance with Conditions of Certification below
CONDITIONS OF CERTIFICATION
1. For applications in A-60 Class steel bulkheads and decks, with approved insulation arrangements as described in
Tables 1 and 2 below and also generally in accordance with manufacturer’s guidance drawings No: S1513650A,
S1513651A, S1513652C and S1513653A. Final insulation arrangements onboard are to be approved by the relevant
project authority on a case-by-case basis
2. All “SPM Series” pipe seals were tested only in A-60 Class steel divisions, but not separately in A-0 Class steel divisions
in accordance with IMO Res. MSC.307(88)-(2010 FTP Code) Annex 1, Part 3 Appendix 2. A.III.2.2.1.1 Therefore for
applications in A-0, A-15 and A-30 Class steel bulkheads and decks, they shall be fitted with the same or equivalent A-
60 Class insulation arrangements as those used in the fire tests (including any insulation fitted on the penetration itself
in the tests) for a minimum distance of 200mm around the penetration, on all fire risk sides of bulkheads and decks (as
identified by the Design Plan Approval Authority for each project) and insulation should be extended to cover the full
side(s) and the end face(s) of the steel frame, with an overlap of at least 20mm from the steel end plate edges. The
above mentioned A-60 Class insulation arrangements should be additional to any thermal or acoustic insulation, but
may include any fire rated insulation (e.g. A-15, or A-30) already fitted on the bulkhead or deck and/or on the
penetration itself, such that the total fire rating is A-60
3. For applications in A-60 equivalent aluminium bulkheads and decks, with approved insulation arrangements as
described in Tables 3 and 4 below and also generally in accordance with manufacturer’s guidance drawings No:
S1536362A dated 4 October 2018, S1536464A dated 7 April 2020, S1536485A and S1536486A both dated 17 April 2020.

4. Aluminium bulkheads and decks in all cases must be insulated with an approved system to prevent the core
temperature exceeding 2000c and all pipe penetrations fitted to such divisions shall also be insulated with either the
same system or an approved A-60 system
5. Roxtec “SPM Series” pipe seals consist of: stainless steel circular plates fitted to the front and rear ends of the “Roxylon”
rubber seal unit and secured using 5 stainless steel bolts and nuts fitted through the front and rear end plates and the
“Roxylon” rubber seal unit. The “SPM” pipe seal unit is fitted around the pipes and secured to the steel bulkhead or
deck by expansion of the rubber seal fitted through the aperture in bulkhead or deck plate, when the bolts are
tightened. Constructional details of the Roxtec “SPM Series” pipe seals are to be as described in Roxtec drawing:
S1502970 Rev. D
6. Approved arrangements for Roxtec “SPM Series” pipe seals in A-60 Class steel and aluminium bulkheads and decks are
as described in Tables 1 & 2 and 3&4 below respectively
7. Type Approval is limited to the as-tested SPM pipe penetration seals only, for use with the specific size or size range of
each type of pipe tested as described in the Tables. Intermediate size SPM seals within the tested range may only be
accepted subject to final approval from the design project authority, provided they are fitted with at least the same
insulation arrangements as the next greater size seal approved in the Tables (for example, seals larger than SPM 81 in
Table 1 must be fitted with at least the same insulation arrangements approved for SPM 138) and the size of the
penetrating pipe being proportional to the size of the specific intermediate penetration, which may be determined by
linear interpolation
8. Production items are to be manufactured in accordance with a quality control system which shall be maintained to
ensure that items are of the same standard as the approved prototype
9. The certificate holder is solely responsible for the products supplied under this Certificate and to ensure that their
products, whether manufactured by themselves or their licensee manufacturers, if agreed by Lloyd's Register, are fully
compliant with the relevant statutory regulations and Lloyd's Register Class rules as applicable and designed and
manufactured to the same quality and specifications as the prototype tested, including components that are designed
and manufactured by third parties

NOTES (For Information only; outside the scope of Fire Type Approval Certification)
1. Single “SPM Series” Pipe penetration seals, types: “SPM 41”, “SPM 81”, “SPM 138” and “SPM 279” were subjected to a
hydrostatic pressure of 1.5 bar for a period of 60 minutes with no leakage, followed by a helium gas pressure test at 1
bar for a period of 30 minutes with no leakage, as detailed in DNV-GL Reports No. N1417RRN dated 29 January 2016
and N1419WS4 dated 22 June 2016.
2. Roxtec SPM 39 seal with a single steel pipe of outer diameter 8mm, mounted in 4mm and 15mm thick steel plates, was
subjected to a 60minutes watertightness test at 1.5bar followed by a 30minutes helium gas tightness test at 1bar, with
the pressure applied from different sides of the seal, and no leakage was reported for the full test duration, as described
in DNV-GL Survey Report No: N141805A dated 20 December 2016 and associated Test Report TST-000505.
3. The above-mentioned Pipe penetration seals may be considered to prevent flooding or maintain gastight
requirements on a ship approval basis. These types of penetrations are not suitable for tank boundaries and where the
penetrations are subject to frequent immersion in fluids and are not suitable for applications identified in SOLAS,
Chapter II-1, Regulation 13.2.3 for “Openings in watertight bulkheads below the bulkhead deck in passenger ships.”
