Inflatable boats — Part 3: Boats with a length of the hull less than 8 m with a motor power rating of 15 kW and greater

This document specifies the minimum safety characteristics required for the design, materials, manufacture and testing of inflatable boats and rigid inflatable boats with a length of the hull LH in accordance with ISO 8666 less than 8 m with a motor power rating of 15 kW and greater. This document is applicable to the following types of boats intended for use within the operating temperatures of –20 °C to +60 °C: — Type VII: Powered boats, fitted with a buoyancy tube on the port and starboard sides, suitable for navigation in conditions of design categories C and D. — Type VIII: Powered boats, fitted with a buoyancy tube on the port and starboard sides, suitable for navigation in conditions of design category B. This document excludes single-chambered boats and boats with tubes made from unsupported materials, and does not apply to aquatic toys and inflatable liferafts. Boats with tubes made from aluminium, roto-moulded polyethylene, fibre reinforced plastic or other rigid materials are excluded from this document.

Bateaux pneumatiques — Partie 3: Bateaux d'une longueur de coque inférieure à 8 m et d'une puissance moteur assignée supérieure ou égale à 15 kW

Le présent document spécifie les caractéristiques minimales de sécurité requises concernant la conception, les matériaux à utiliser, la fabrication et les essais des bateaux pneumatiques et des bateaux pneumatiques semi-rigides d'une longueur de coque LH, mesurée conformément à l'ISO 8666, inférieure à 8 m et dont la puissance moteur assignée est supérieure ou égale à 15 kW. Le présent document s'applique aux types de bateaux suivants destinés à être utilisés dans une plage de températures d'utilisation comprises entre –20 °C et +60 °C: — type VII: bateaux à moteur équipés d'un tube de flottabilité relié aux côtés bâbord et tribord, appropriés à une navigation en catégories de conception C et D; — type VIII: bateaux à moteur équipés d'un tube de flottabilité relié aux côtés bâbord et tribord, appropriés à une navigation en catégorie de conception B. Le présent document exclut les bateaux à chambre unique et les bateaux dont les tubes de flottabilité sont constitués de matériaux non renforcés, et ne s'applique ni aux jouets aquatiques ni aux radeaux de survie gonflables. Les bateaux dont les tubes de flottabilité sont constitués d'aluminium, de polyéthylène rotomoulé, de plastique renforcé de fibres ou d'autres matériaux rigides sont exclus du présent document.
