5.3 — Skylights Regeling veiligheid zeeschepen

Skylights

5.3.1 All skylights should be of efficient weathertight construction and should be located on or as near to the centreline of the vessel as practicable.

5.3.2 If they are of the opening type they should be provided with efficient means whereby they can be secured in the closed position.

5.3.3 Skylights which are designated for escape purposes should be openable from either side, and in the direction of escape they are to be openable without a key. All handles on the inside are to be non-removable. An escape skylight should be readily identified and easy and safe to use, having due regard to its position.

5.3.4 The skylight glazing material and its method of securing within the frame should meet an appropriate national or international standard. Recognised Classification Society rules for ‘ships’ are considered to meet these requirements. Where a recognised Classification Society produces alternative rules for ‘pleasure vessels’ or ‘yachts’, these are considered appropriate for Short Range Yachts.

A minimum of one portable cover for each size of glazed opening should be provided which can be accessed rapidly and efficiently secured in the event of a breakage of the skylight.
