5 Content of owner's manual
5.1 General

Subclauses 5.2 to 5.12 specify information that shall be included in the owner's manual as appropriate

for the type of craft. If any information is already provided in an acceptable or required language by

way of a specific manual(s) for an appliance(s), engine(s), equipment or system provided with the craft,

it is only necessary to refer to this (these) manual(s) in the owner’s manual.
5.2 Introduction to the manual

Each manual shall have an introductory paragraph informing the owner of his/her responsibility

concerning the intended use of the craft.

If safety labels are used, their meaning shall be explained in the owner's manual, according to the

following.

Danger — indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in death or

serious injury. This signal word is to be limited to the most extreme situations.

Warning — indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in death or

serious injury.

Caution — indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in minor or

moderate injury.

Notice — indicates information considered important, but not hazard-related, for example, relating to

property damage.

Annex A provides a general introduction to the owner’s manual. It may be modified accordingly to suit

the particular craft.

Annex B provides a list of international standards requiring information and safety labels to be inserted

in the owner’s manual.
5.3 General information and craft data

The following information shall be in the owner's manual. List only the relevant items.

a) Name of craft manufacturer, company or person responsible for placing the craft on the market.

b) Name of the model or type.

SIST EN ISO 10240:2020
ISO 10240:2019(E)

c) Craft design category/categories, as marked on the builder's plate, and statements explaining the

design category(ies) as follows.

1) A craft given design category A is considered to be designed to operate in winds of less than

Beaufort force 10 and the associated significant wave heights.

NOTE Typically such conditions might be encountered on extended voyages, for example across

oceans, but can also occur inshore when unsheltered from the wind and waves for several hundred

nautical miles. Depending on atmospheric conditions, winds can gust to about 32 m/s.

2) A craft given design category B is considered to be designed to operate in winds of Beaufort

force 8 or less and the associated significant waves heights of up to 4 m.

NOTE Typically such conditions might be encountered on offshore voyages of sufficient length but

can also occur on coasts where shelter might not always be immediately available. These conditions can

also be experienced on inland seas of sufficient size for the wave height to be generated. Depending on

atmospheric conditions, winds can gust to about 27 m/s.

3) A craft given design category C is considered to be designed to operate in typical steady winds

of Beaufort force 6 or less and the associated significant waves heights of up to 2 m.

NOTE Typically such conditions might be encountered on exposed inland waters, in estuaries, and

in coastal waters in moderate weather conditions. Depending on atmospheric conditions, winds can

gust to about 18 m/s.

4) A craft given design category D is considered to be designed to operate in typical steady winds

of Beaufort force 4 or less and the associated significant waves heights of up to 0,3 m and

occasional waves of 0,5 m height.

NOTE Typically such conditions might be encountered on sheltered inland waters, and in coastal

waters in fine weather. Depending on atmospheric conditions, winds can gust to about 12 m/s.

d) The mass in the light craft condition (m ) (unladen mass of the craft) (kg) according to

ISO 8666:2016. For craft with outboard engines, it should be stated that this mass includes the

mass of the heaviest recommended outboard engine, but in some cases (a small rowing or outboard

tender for example) the craft may be used with or without the outboard. In these cases, it would be

useful to also know the weight without the outboard motor (for example, to determine if it is light

enough to carry on a car roof).

e) Maximum load for the builder’s plate (m ), according to ISO 14946:— . Include a note to draw

MBP
attention to the loading provisions (see 5.5).

f) Mass of the craft in the fully loaded condition (m ) (kg), which is the sum of the craft's mass, in

LDC

the light craft condition, plus the maximum load for the builder’s plate; a breakdown of the fully

loaded mass as calculated is recommended.

g) Main dimensions of the craft: L , B , L , B , and the definition of the dimensions given; these

H H max max
dimensions shall be in accordance with ISO 8666:2016.
h) Drafts:
1) maximum height (air draft), in the light craft condition;
2) maximum draft(s) in the fully loaded condition.
i) Type of main propulsion [power, sail, other (give details)].
j) If the craft is a sailboat, basic information on sail and rigging.

NOTE Information such as main dimensions of sails, reefing system, storm sail dimensions, etc. may

be given.
2) Under preparation. Stage at the time of publication: ISO/FDIS 14946:2019.
