EN ISO 10087:2019 “Small craft - Craft identification - Coding system”

EN ISO 10087:2019 supersedes EN ISO 10087:2006 without any transition on 21 January 2020.

The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:

• new definitions 3.3 and 3.4 (country of manufacturer and small craft);
• updated manufacturer’s identification code requirements (see 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 and 5.2).

EN ISO 12215-5:2019 “Small craft - Hull construction and scantlings - Part 5: Design pressures for monohulls, design stresses and scantlings determination”

In order to give manufacturers sufficient time to prepare for the application of standard EN ISO 12215-5:2019, the date of withdrawal of the EN ISO 12215-5:2018 has been extended until 30 June 2021. Until then both standards give the Presumption of Conformity.

The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:

• clarification of the scope and of many definitions, dimensions, and assessment;
• definition of a theoretical hull/deck limit height ZSDT in Table 3;
• renaming of nCG into kDYN in Table 7;
• lowering of the values of kL in the aft part of the craft in Table 8;
• deletion of kAR min, to better consider large panels, mainly sandwiches, in Table 9;
• improvement of the values of kSUP in Table 10;
• modification of design pressures for motor and sailing craft in Tables 12 & 13;
• modification of design stresses introducing kBB and kAM factors in Tables 15 to 17;

• incorporation of requirements for work boats in Table 2, Clause 12 and Annex J;
• possibility to use a wider range of assessment methods detailed in Table 18;
• move of the previous assessment method (now called "simplified") in Annex A;
• improvements/clarification of the simplified method (panel assessment, hard chined sections,
• frameless sections, simple and double curvature, attached plating, requirements for core, etc.);
• development of Annex C for the determination of mechanical properties of composites;
• reminder in A.14 of the requirements of ISO 12215-9 on reinforcement of the hull in way of ballast keel attachment;
• new Annex I only recommending minimum thickness for single skin and sandwich that are no longer mandatory;
• new Annex J defining different types of commercial craft and workboats and their requirements;
• new Annex K defining loads induced by outboard engines;
• new Annex L proposing an application sheet of this document to explain how it has been used;
• for clarity, this edition generally uses tables to present formulas and requirements
