Inland navigation vessels - Manually- and power-operated coupling devices for rope connections of pushing units and coupled vessels - Safety requirements and main dimensions (ISO 6218:2019)

This document specifies dimensions and safety requirements for manually operated and power-operated coupling devices used for assembling inland navigation vessels as push tows or for coupling vessels alongside by means of rope connections. The coupling device secures the stable positioning of the coupled vessels.
Safety requirements to protect operators from accidents during the creation, operation, and separation of the rope connections of push tows and vessels coupled alongside are specified in this document.
It also gives rules for designation and testing.

Fahrzeuge der Binnenschifffahrt - Handbetätigte und kraftbetriebene Spannvorrichtungen für Seilverbindungen von Schub- und Koppelverbänden - Sicherheitsanforderungen und Hauptmaße (ISO 6218:2019)

Dieses Dokument legt Maße und Sicherheitsanforderungen für handbetätigte und kraftbetriebene Spannvorrichtungen fest, die für die Zusammenstellung von Fahrzeugen der Binnenschifffahrt als Schubverband oder als längsseits gekuppelte Fahrzeuge mittels Seilverbindung verwendet werden. Die Spannvorrichtung dient der Sicherstellung der festen Lage der gekuppelten Fahrzeuge zueinander.
Sicherheitsanforderungen zur Vermeidung von Unfällen des Bedienungspersonals beim Zusammenstellen, Betrieb und Trennen der Seilverbindungen von Schub- und Koppelverbänden sind in diesem Dokument enthalten.
Diese Internationale Norm legt zusätzlich Regeln für die Bezeichnung und die Prüfung fest.

Bateaux de navigation intérieure - Treuils d'accouplement manoeuvrés à la main ou motorisés pour les liaisons de câbles des convois poussés et les formations à couple - Exigences de sécurité et dimensions principales (ISO 6218:2019)

Le présent document spécifie les dimensions et les exigences de sécurité pour les treuils d'accouplement manœuvrés à la main ou motorisés utilisés pour assembler des bateaux de navigation intérieure sous forme de convois poussés ou de formations à couple longitudinales au moyen de liaisons de câbles. Le treuil d'accouplement permet de maintenir de façon stable le positionnement des bateaux accouplés.
Des exigences de sécurité ont été incluses dans le présent document afin de protéger les opérateurs des accidents pendant la mise en œuvre, l'utilisation et la séparation des liaisons formées avec des câbles pour les convois poussés et les formations à couple longitudinales.
Le présent document fournit également des règles applicables à la désignation et aux essais.

Plovila za celinske vode - Ročno in električno upravljane vpenjalne naprave za vrvne povezave potisnih enot in pripetih plovil - Varnostne zahteve in glavne mere (ISO 6218:2019)

Ta dokument določa dimenzije in varnostne zahteve za ročno in električno upravljane vpenjalne naprave, ki se uporabljajo za vpenjanje plovil za celinske vode, namenjenih vleki, ali plovil, ki so z njimi povezana, z žično vrvjo. Vpenjalne naprave zagotavljajo stabilno lego vpetih plovil. V tem dokumentu so podane varnostne zahteve za zaščito upravljavcev pred nesrečami med vzpostavljanjem, uporabo ter ločevanjem vrvnih povezav med vlačilci in pripetimi plovili. Standard podaja tudi pravila za označevanje in preskušanje.
