    How this individual concern was interpreted

    PFD Monitor created a concise, searchable interpretation from the report wording shown below. The report was sent to EKO-INVEST (POM-EKO group); that does not assign responsibility.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure to prevent volatile organic compounds from being present within a pontoon

    Wider context from the report

    “It was credible that a flammable range (100% Lower Explosive Limit) could easily be reached by the application of an external heat source (for example, oxy propane cutting torch). This would evaporate volatile substances present within the pontoon. Volatile organic compounds should not be within a pontoon. ”
