The purpose of the International Code of Safety for Ships Using Gases or Other Low-Flashpoint Fuels
(IGF Code), is to provide an international standard for ships using low flashpoint fuel, other than ships
covered by the IGC Code. The basic philosophy of this Code is to provide mandatory provisions for
the arrangement, installation, control and monitoring of machinery, equipment and systems using low
flashpoint fuel to minimize the risk to the ship, its crew and the environment, having regard to the nature
of the fuels involved.
