Overview

This part of ISO 6185 specifies the minimum safety characteristics required for the design, materials to use, manufacture and testing of inflatable boats and rigid inflatable boats with a hull length L_H in accordance with ISO 8666 less than 8 m with a motor power rating of 15 kW and greater. This part of ISO 6185 is applicable to the following types of boats intended for use within the operating temperatures of -20 °C to +60 °C: - type VII: powered boats (power rating = 15 kW) fitted with a buoyancy aid attached to the port and starboard sides, suitable for navigation in conditions of design categories C and D and capable of installing motor power rating of 15 kW and greater. - type VIII: powered boats (power rating = 75 kW) fitted with a buoyancy aid attached to the port and starboard sides, suitable for navigation in conditions of design category B capable of installing motor power rating of 75kW and greater. General arrangements of typical boats of types VII and VIII are given in Annexes A and B, respectively. This part of ISO 6185 excludes single-chambered boats and boats made from unsupported materials, and is not applicable to aquatic toys and inflatable liferafts. For craft, concerned by the Recreational Craft Directive (RCD) of the European Union, fitted with inboard engines with nonstandard integral exhausts, noise emission requirements need to be considered. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 112-05-09 AA "Aufblasbare schwimmende Freizeitgeräte einschließlich aufblasbarer Boote und Zubehör" ("Inflatable floating leisure articles including inflatable boats and mountings") at DIN.
