This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by October 1997, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by October 1997. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. ISO 4143 was taken into account but was not able to be used as a basis as it did not adequately cover the multi-purpose use of the ship's boat particularly with smaller vessels and no reference is given it to inflatable boats.

This standard does not apply to recreational craft according to Directive 94/25/EEC. The ship's boat may also be used as a lifesaving vessel as long as no special lifesaving equipment is specified for the area of use and Ð if used as lifesaving appliances on passenger vessels Ð as long as the relevant traffic rules are observed. Ship's boats are also used for the recovery of people and equipment. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications.

Main dimensions 4 Safety requirements 4.1 Dimensions Dimensions in millimetres General tolerances: ISO 2768-c Dimensions shall comply with figure 1. NOTE. Ship's boats are not expected to conform to the design illustrated in figure 1. The main dimensions of L, B, H and the carrying capacity (TF) shall conform to the following ratios: 1) L 3000 mm # L # 6000 mm 2) ±0,2 = L B 2,3 + 0,6 L 2 3500 mm 2000 mm 3) B / H = 2,5±0,4 4) TF $ L 2 2000 mm 5 mm/kg Preferred dimensions for ship's boats with rigid hulls corresponding to these ratios are given in table A.1 in annex A. 4.2 Freeboard The freeboard of the fully equipped ship's boat loaded to its carrying capacity shall be at least 250 mm. 4.3 Boat volume A boat volume V shall be determined by Simpson's rule or by another equivalent method, in m3and shall be at least 1,5 m3or the product of L 3 B 3 H shall be not less than 2,7 m3. 4.4 Reserve buoyancy The buoyancy of the boat filled with water shall be ensured by buoyancy units. The reserve buoyancy ARwith nobody aboard but entirely full of water shall be at least AR$ 0,3 kN/m33 L 3 B 3 H where: ± ARis reserve buoyancy in kN; ± L is length in m; ± B is breadth in m; ± H is depth in m. The reserve buoyancy shall be distributed throughout the boat. 4.5 Stability The stability is regarded as adequate if a reserve freeboard of 100 mm on a fully equipped ship's boat remains under the test conditions in accordance with 7.4. 4.6 Permissible number of persons The permissible number of persons depends on the carrying capacity, boat volume and number of seats. Ship's boats shall be provided with seats for at least 3 persons. At least 0,4 m3of boat volume, 450 mm seat width and 100 kg carrying capacity shall be provided for each person. The depth of the seat on sidebenches, seats or buoyancy units shall be at least 450 mm, on thwarts at least 250 mm. The permissible number of persons shall be dimensioned so that a secure operating of the ship's boat is ensured and all manoeuvres can be run safely and in a proper manner.

The plug shall be attached to the boat permanently by a non-aging lanyard, a chain, or other suitable means. The drainage device shall be constructed in such a way that any unintentional operation will be avoided. 4.8 Buoyancy units 4.8.1 Hermetically sealed buoyancy units Buoyancy units shall be designed as parts of the boat construction enclosed on all sides. It shall not be possible to use as them as storage compartments. Longitudinal buoyancy units shall have transverse bulkheads or cells every 600 mm at least. Buoyancy units shall have closed watertight apertures which cannot be opened manually. Inflatable ship's boats shall have as many buoyancy units as it is necessary to meet the requirements as described in 4.4 and 4.5 even if any of the buoyancy units fails. 4.8.2 Buoyancy units filled with expanded materials The expanded materials shall be of the closed-cell' type, blocked or contained in chambers, false bottoms or other volumes of the boat. Spilled fuel (e.g. fuel tank of outboard motor) shall not be able to come into contact with the expanded materials, or else they shall be protected. 4.9 Non-slip surfaces The surfaces of the sole and deck, foot holds and other areas where persons may step, shall be of non-slip design. The sole of the boat or the covering on it shall enable persons to stand and walk on it safely and securely without slipping. 4.10 Handholds The ship's boat shall be provided with hand holds and lifelines all round if the top of the gunwale is not rounded, cannot be gripped or freeboard in the unloaded conditions exceeds 300 mm. 4.11 Rowing and sculling The ship's boat shall be easy to row and manoeuvre.
