Type Approval

　　As you are aware of, IMO (International Maritime Organization) have reinforced the rules & regulations for fire protection. According to the 74 SOLAS 94 Amendment Chapter II-2 Regulation 15.2.11, all ships with diesel engines of max. continuous rating 375kW or more are required to apply proper protective measures to prevent the leakage and splashing of flammable oils (fuel oil, lubricating oil, etc.) from FO, LO & other pipings for protection of engine room fires to be caused by leaked flammable oil splashing onto high-temperature surfaces or spots as potential sources of ignition in engine room.

　　This Regulation II-2/15 of the SOLAS 94 Amendment entered into force on July 1, 1998 effective for new shipbuilding, and the ships, which were built before July 1, 1998, are of 500 Gross Tons or over and are engaged in international operation service, shall also comply with the requirements by July 1, 2003.

　　FN Tape and Sheet are the products we've developed and manufactured, which are fully 100% complied with the requirements of the SOLAS 94 Amendment Reg. II-2/15.2.11 and are type-approved by major ship's classification societies worldwide, and FN Tape & Sheet products have been patented in Japan and overseas countries.

　　In May, 1999, we're the first winner in Japan of "Seatrade AWARDS 1999", which is called as Nobel prize of sea, given by Chairman of IMO for a highly commended contribution of these FN Tape & Sheet to the safety at sea.

　　Our FN Tape & Sheet are the first type-approved products in the world by major ship's classification societies, for the purposes to prevent the splashing of flammable oils in ship's engine room in accordance with the SOLAS 94 Amendment Reg. II-2/15.2.11.
