Overview

EN ISO 10087:2022/prA1, titled Small craft - Craft identification - Coding system - Amendment 1 (ISO 10087:2022/DAM 1:2025), represents an important update to the international standard for the unique identification of small watercraft. Developed under the supervision of ISO Technical Committee ISO/TC 188 and published by CEN, this amendment ensures enhanced precision and consistency in the coding system used globally for small craft identification.

This amendment provides crucial refinements to the existing standard EN ISO 10087:2022, focusing on the structure and regulation of craft identification numbers to support industry, regulatory bodies, manufacturers, and users in accurately tracking small vessels for safety, regulatory compliance, and commercial transparency.

Key Topics

• Craft Identification Number Format
  The amendment mandates that each craft identification number shall be a unique sequence of 14 consecutive characters plus a hyphen, with no spaces, slashes, or dashes interrupting the sequence. This precise format facilitates standardized identification worldwide.

• Manufacturer’s Identification Code
  A key update clarifies that the three characters following the initial segment represent the manufacturer’s identification code. This code is assigned either by a national authority or a recognized organization authorized by that authority. The code can include numerals and letters, except numerals 0 and 1, to avoid ambiguity.

• Serial Number Composition
  The five-character serial number identifying individual craft excludes the letters I, O, and Q to prevent confusion. This serial number may combine numerals and letters, ensuring proper uniqueness and traceability of each small craft.

• Correction of Identification Numbers
  Amendment 1 introduces an explicit clause that, in case the affixed craft identification number is found to be incorrect, the manufacturer is responsible for correcting both the visible and hidden identification numbers, thereby maintaining data integrity.

Applications

The updated coding system defined by EN ISO 10087:2022/prA1 is vital across various sectors related to small craft, including:

• Manufacturing and Production
  Ensuring each small craft is assigned a proper identification code improves tracking, quality control, and compliance with national and international regulations.

• Registration and Regulation
  Governments and regulatory authorities use the standardized craft identification numbers to monitor ownership, compliance with safety standards, and fishing or navigation permits.

• Safety and Security
  The unique coding assists in emergency response, recovery of stolen vessels, and accident investigations by providing precise identification.

• Commercial and Insurance Purposes
  Businesses benefit from consistent and secure identification systems for verifying vessels during transactions, insurance claims, and fleet management.

Related Standards

EN ISO 10087:2022/prA1 aligns and complements other standards involved in maritime and small craft regulation, including:

• ISO 8666 – Small Craft - Principal Data
  Pertains to measurement and principal data of small craft.

• ISO 12215 – Small Craft - Hull Construction and Scantlings
  Covers safety and structural requirements in the craft’s construction, supporting the need for identification.

• National Regulations on Vessel Identification and Registration
  The amendment supports statutory frameworks by providing an internationally recognized coding method for small craft.

Conclusion

EN ISO 10087:2022/prA1 Amendment 1 is a critical enhancement of the global standard for small craft identification. By refining the coding system and establishing clearer regulations for manufacturers and authorities, this standard facilitates safer, more transparent, and consistent identification of small vessels worldwide. The updates ensure improved regulatory compliance, operational efficiency, and support for maritime safety, making it an essential reference for manufacturers, regulatory agencies, and maritime professionals.

For authoritative guidance, stakeholders should consult their national standards bodies and stay updated through official ISO releases.
