Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out

through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical

committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International

organizations, governmental and non­governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the

different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).

Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not

constitute an endorsement.

For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and

expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the

World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www .iso .org/

iso/ foreword .html.

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 8, Ships and marine technology,

Subcommittee SC 4, Outfitting and deck machinery, in collaboration with Technical Committee ISO/TC 4,

Rolling bearings.

This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 4568:2006), which has been technically

revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are:

— the definitions of working load (3.1), nominal size (3.2) and overload pull (3.3) have been revised;

— the definition of nominal recovery speed (former 3.5 in the previous edition) has been deleted;

— new definitions for windlass (3.5), double cable­lifter windlass with connection shaft (3.10) and

control braking system (3.11) have been added;

— requirements have been added on: the mooring winch, in 4.4 and 5.4; the design of the cable lifter,

in 4.6.2.2; and the electric motor, in 4.11.2 and 4.11.3;
— the strength requirements have been updated in 4.5;
— test methods have been added in 6.3 to 6.9.

Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A

complete listing of these bodies can be found at www .iso .org/ members .html.

FINAL DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/FDIS 4568:2021(E)
Ships and marine technology — Sea-going vessels —
Windlasses and anchor capstans
1 Scope

This document specifies requirements for the design, construction, safety, performance and acceptance

testing of windlasses and anchor capstans.

This document is applicable to windlasses and anchor capstans of sea­going vessels, which have an

electric, hydraulic, pneumatic or external drive, of the following types:
— symmetrical double cable-lifter windlasses (type 1);
— single cable-lifter windlasses (type 2);
— single cable-lifter windlass units (types 3 and 4);
— anchor capstans (type 5);
— double cable-lifter windlasses with connecting shaft (type 6).

For combined windlasses/mooring winches, ISO 3730 is applicable in addition to this document.

NOTE Attention is drawn to the requirements of relevant Classification Societies or the government of the

state whose flag the ship is entitled to fly.

ISO/FDIS 4568:2021(E)
3.1
working load

continuous working load that the prime mover of the windlass or anchor

capstan is able to apply for 30 min, derived from the chain cable diameter and the chain cable grade

3.2
nominal size

size expressed in terms of chain cable diameter, in millimetres, grade of

chain cable, holding load and maximum anchorage depth

Note 1 to entry: When the maximum anchorage depth is below 82,5 m, it is not expressed.

EXAMPLE 100/3/45­ 100 m is the size designation of a windlass for a 100 mm diameter chain cable of IACS

Grade 3, with a holding load of 45 % of the breaking load of the chain cable, and a maximum anchorage depth of

100 m.
3.3
overload pull

short-time overload capacity necessary for the windlass or anchor capstan to break ground, provided

by the windlass or anchor capstan prime mover
