Overview
This standard has been prepared on the basis of the standards DIN 81208-2, -4, -12 and -13. In order to avoid confusion and to work internationally on the same basis, the committee has decided to adopt the ISO standard ISO 13643-4 in the German body of standards and to replace the standards DIN 81208-2, -4, -12 and -13 by them. The definitions, symbols and test conditions contained in this standard are the test-related physical quantities which shall be used for the description and for the determination of certain manoeuvring characteristics. The coasting stop test (inertia test), acceleration test traversing test and stopping test with surface ships, submarines, and models are described.
