15.1 General and Installation Requirements
15.1.1 Application
The provisions of 4-6-4/15 apply to storage and transfer and processing of lubricating oil. They are to be applied, as appropriate, together with requirements for lubricating oil systems specific to each type of propulsion or auxiliary machinery specified in 4-6-5/5 (for internal combustion engines). In addition, the requirements of 4-6-4/13.3.2, 4-6-4/13.3.5, 4-6-4/13.3.4, 4-6-4/13.5.7(b) through (f) and 4-6-4/13.7.4 are applicable.
15.1.2 Basic Requirement
The requirements for the lubricating oil storage and transfer system are intended to minimize the fire risks of lubricating oil.
15.1.3 Dedicated Piping
The lubricating oil piping, including vent and overflow piping, is to be entirely separated from other piping systems.
