Regulation 13.3.4 Emergency escape breathing
devices (EEBD) The minimum number of EEBDs to be
kept within accommodation spaces should be as follows:
.1
for cargo ships: two (2) EEBDs and one (1) spare EEBD;
.2 for passenger ships carrying not more
than 36 passengers: two (2) EEBDs for each main vertical zone, except
those defined in the regulation 13.3.4.5, and a total of two (2) spare
EEBDs; and
.3 for passenger
ships carrying more than 36 passengers: four (4) EEBDs for each main
vertical zone, except those defined in the regulation 13.3.4.5, and a
total of two (2) spare EEBDs.
Regulation 13.4.3 Emergency escape
breathing devices (EEBD) 1 This interpretation
applies to machinery spaces where crew are normally employed or may be
present on a routine basis.

In machinery spaces for category A containing internal combustion
machinery used for main propulsion, EEBDs should be positioned as
follows:
.1 one (1) EEBD in the engine control room, if
located within the machinery space;
.2 one (1) EEBD in workshop areas. If there is, however, a
direct access to an escape way from the workshop, an EEBD is not
required; and
.3 one (1)
EEBD on each deck or platform level near the escape ladder constituting
the second means of escape from the machinery space (the other means
being an enclosed escape trunk or watertight door at the lower level of
the space). Alternatively, different number or location may be
determined by the Administration taking into consideration the layout
and dimensions or the normal manning of the space.
3 For machinery spaces of category A other
than those containing internal combustion machinery used for main
propulsion, one (1) EEBD should, as a minimum, be provided on each deck
or platform level near the escape ladder constituting the second means
of escape from the space (the other means being an enclosed escape trunk
or watertight door at the lower level of the space).
4 For other machinery spaces, the number
and location of EEBDs are to be determined by the Administration.
