                           TITLE 46--SHIPPING
 
   CHAPTER I--COAST GUARD, DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY (CONTINUED)
 
PART 193--FIRE PROTECTION EQUIPMENT--Table of Contents
 
      Subpart 193.15--Carbon Dioxide Extinguishing Systems, Details
 
Sec. 193.15-1  Application.


    (a) The provisions of this subpart shall apply to all new 
installations contracted for on or after March 1, 1968.
    (b) Installations contracted for prior to March 1, 1968, shall meet 
the requirements of Sec. 193.15-90.
    (c) The requirements of this subpart are based on a ``high pressure 
system,'' i.e., one in which the carbon dioxide is stored in liquid form 
at atmospheric temperature. Details for ``low pressure systems,'' i.e., 
those in which the carbon dioxide is stored in liquid form at a 
continuously controlled low temperature, may be specifically approved by 
the Commandant where it is demonstrated that a comparable degree of 
safety and fire extinguishing ability is achieved.
