General Information
Frequently Asked Questions
ICS 47.080 is a classification code in the International Classification for Standards (ICS) system. It covers "Small craft". The ICS is a hierarchical classification system used to organize international, regional, and national standards, facilitating the search and identification of standards across different fields.
There are 776 standards classified under ICS 47.080 (Small craft). These standards are published by international and regional standardization bodies including ISO, IEC, CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI.
The International Classification for Standards (ICS) is a hierarchical classification system maintained by ISO to organize standards and related documents. It uses a three-level structure with field (2 digits), group (3 digits), and sub-group (2 digits) codes. The ICS helps users find standards by subject area and enables statistical analysis of standards development activities.

This document specifies the general requirements, test items and methods for conducting manoeuvring tests on human-occupied submersibles. It is applicable to manoeuvring tests for all human-occupied submersibles operating in the sea and inland waterway areas. It can also be used as a reference for manoeuvring tests on other types of submersibles operating in pools, lakes and seas.

This document specifies test methods and requirements for the design of electrical devices, when under normal operating conditions, on small craft so that they can be operated without igniting a surrounding flammable gas atmosphere.
This document does not apply to ignition protection procedures for:
— devices or components that can operate in hydrogen and air mixtures;
— devices with dysfunctional issues;
— mechanisms of ignition from external sources, such as static electricity, lightning or other factors not related to the equipment under test.

This document specifies a methodology to calculate the environmental impact of operational energy use for large yachts and enables the comparative assessment of a yacht's environmental performance against a defined baseline fleet. The method established herein is robust and based on the best available data, with transparency and comparability across various yacht types and technical characteristics. This document explicitly addresses operational energy consumption during the yacht's use phase, emphasizing the efficiency of onboard systems benchmarked against the found average operational profile and the environmental emissions coming from this energy, both upstream and downstream. It excludes behavioural variables arising from individual yacht operation patterns. Additionally, the production and maintenance materials and processes (upstream impacts), as well as yacht end-of-life considerations (part of downstream impacts), are outside the scope of this document. The operational profile specified in this document assumes that the yacht is professionally crewed year-round and capable of independent transoceanic voyages. NOTE For motor yachts, this operational assumption generally aligns with IMO MARPOL requirements, which apply to ships exceeding 400 GT that must be surveyed and certified for MARPOL compliance. Sailing yachts typically exhibit lower GT for equivalent length; however, their cruising behaviours align closely with motor yachts of comparable length.

This document specifies methods for evaluating the stability and buoyancy of intact (i.e. undamaged) boats. The flotation characteristics of boats susceptible to swamping are also encompassed.
The evaluation of stability and buoyancy properties using this document will enable the boat to be assigned to a design category (A, B, C or D) appropriate to its design and maximum total load.
This document is principally applicable to boats propelled by human or mechanical power of 6 m up to 24 m hull length. However, it can also be applied to boats of under 6 m if they do not attain the desired design category specified in ISO 12217‑3 and they are decked and have quick-draining recesses which comply with ISO 11812.
In relation to habitable multihulls, this document includes assessment of susceptibility to inversion, definition of viable means of escape and requirements for inverted flotation.
This document excludes:
— inflatable and rigid-inflatable boats covered by the ISO 6185 series, except for references made in the ISO 6185 series to specific clauses of the ISO 12217 series;
— personal watercraft covered by ISO 13590 and other similar powered craft;
— gondolas and pedalos;
— sailing surfboards;
— surfboards, including powered surfboards;

— submersibles.
NOTE Displacement mode means that the boat is only supported by hydrostatic forces.
It does not include or evaluate the effects on stability of towing, fishing, dredging or lifting operations, which need to be separately considered if appropriate.

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 The purpose of this guide is to establish a minimum level of knowledge and skills for the water rescue responder. The application will improve the quality of initial emergency response, the rescue of the water victims, and the safety of the rescuers.
4.2 All persons who are identified as water rescuers and water rescue responders shall meet the requirements of this guide.
4.3 This guide does not preclude the scope of performances for water rescuers needing more advanced or more specialized water rescue training.
4.4 This guide will assist government agencies; state, local, or regional organizations; fire departments; rescue teams; and others who are responsible for establishing a minimum performance for personnel who respond to water emergencies.
SCOPE
1.1 This guide covers minimum requirements for the scope of performance of a water rescuer I who may be responsible for the initial on-scene evaluation, performing land-based water rescues, and providing initial patient care at a water rescue incident.
1.2 This guide is one in a series; water rescuer I is only a beginning level designed for a water rescue responder. Duties and responsibilities at water rescue operations vary according to the water rescuer's skills and knowledge. As the water rescuer level I progresses and becomes more proficient, the individual will move from responder to in-water rescuer to rescue boat operator.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
