Overview

SIST EN ISO 13297:2021/A11:2023 is an important European standard focusing on electrical systems for small craft, specifically addressing installations involving alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC). Developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and managed under Technical Committee CEN/TC 464 “Small Craft,” this amendment (A11) updates the original 2021 edition to reflect current safety, performance, and regulatory requirements.

This standard serves as a voluntary means to demonstrate conformity with the essential requirements of Directive 2013/53/EU concerning recreational craft and personal watercraft. It provides guidelines on the design, installation, and maintenance of small craft electrical systems to ensure reliability, safety, and compatibility within European markets.

Key Topics

• Electrical installations: Specifies requirements for both AC and DC electrical installations aboard small vessels, ensuring safe, reliable power distribution and usage.
• Safety measures: Addresses fire protection, electrical conductor routing to avoid heat and exhaust sources, and prevention of ignition risks from flammable gases.
• Documentation and owner information: Mandates inclusion of electrical system details and safety instructions in owner manuals as per Annex B.
• Harmonization with EU directives: Supports compliance with Directive 2013/53/EU, facilitating market access across European countries.
• Referenced standards: Incorporates other key normative references including:
  • ISO 7010: Graphical symbols and safety colors
  • ISO 8846: Protection against ignition of flammable gases
  • IEC 60309-2: Industrial plugs and socket-outlets dimensional compatibility
  • IEC 60529: Degrees of protection for enclosures (IP Code)

Applications

SIST EN ISO 13297:2021/A11:2023 is highly relevant for:

• Manufacturers of small craft designing AC/DC electrical systems compliant with EU regulations.
• Maritime electrical engineers and installers ensuring safe and standardized wiring, component selection, and circuit design.
• Regulatory agencies and certification bodies assessing conformity with safety and environmental directives.
• Operators and owners of small boats and recreational vessels seeking to understand electrical safety and maintenance requirements.
• Supply chain and component manufacturers providing electrical equipment tailored to small marine craft standards.

The standard plays a crucial role in enhancing electrical safety on small vessels, minimizing risks such as electrical fires, shock hazards, and equipment failures by promoting best practices in installation and documentation.

Related Standards

SIST EN ISO 13297:2021/A11:2023 works alongside several associated standards to form a comprehensive framework for marine electrical safety:

• ISO 7010:2019 / EN ISO 7010:2020 – Safety signs and graphical symbols for clear hazard communication aboard vessels.
• ISO 8846:1990 / EN ISO 8846:2017 – Ensures electrical devices do not ignite flammable gases, crucial for marine environments.
• IEC 60309-2:2021 / EN IEC 60309-2:2022 – Defines dimensional requirements for industrial plugs and sockets used in marine applications.
• IEC 60529:1989 / EN 60529:1991 – Specifies the degree of protection provided by enclosures (IP Code), protecting electrical components from water and dust ingress.

Compliance with SIST EN ISO 13297:2021/A11:2023 in conjunction with these standards ensures that small craft electrical systems meet stringent safety, reliability, and regulatory benchmarks required within the European Union and EFTA member states.

By adhering to the specifications outlined in this amendment, stakeholders involved in the design, manufacture, installation, and certification of small craft electrical systems can safeguard vessel performance while ensuring alignment with European Union marine safety directives, enhancing overall maritime safety and operational resilience.
