The Fire Test Procedures Code (FTP) 2010 Edition is an essential guide for understanding international fire test procedures in the maritime industry. Adopted with relevant amendments to SOLAS, the updated code became mandatory on July 1, 2012, enhancing safety protocols aboard ships.

This comprehensive code outlines the international requirements for laboratory testing, type approval, and fire test procedures for materials referenced under SOLAS chapter II-2. The 2010 FTP Code is a vital resource for ensuring that all fire safety products meet rigorous international standards.

Key aspects of the 2010 FTP Code include:

• Detailed testing protocols for various fire scenarios, including non-combustibility, smoke and toxicity, and specific divisions such as "A", "B", and "F" class divisions.
• Guidelines for testing fire door control systems, surface flammability of materials, and upholstered furniture to ensure maximum safety and compliance.

This updated edition significantly revises the original 1996 Code, providing an authoritative framework that reflects the latest advancements in fire safety technology. The 2010 FTP Code includes tests for:

• Vertically supported textiles and films, ensuring that a wide range of materials is adequately assessed.
• Fire-restricting materials specifically for high-speed craft, addressing unique safety needs in maritime operations.

In addition, the document has been supplemented with an April 2017 corrigendum for further refinements. These updates reaffirm the commitment to maintaining high safety standards across maritime operations.
