The present Navy fire performance requirements given in Military Standard 1623B (SHIPS) for shipboard interior finish provide a means for selecting fire safe materials. However, a recent evaluation of the Navy fire safety requirements along with an experimental berthing compartment fire study have suggested more rational design rules. New guidelines are recommended to update this standard with improved fire risk criteria.
