Overview

EN ISO 12215-3:2018 (ISO 12215-3:2002) is the CEN-adopted part of the ISO 12215 series that sets material requirements for the construction of small craft hulls, superstructures and appendages. It covers weldable steels, austenitic stainless steels, wrought aluminium alloys, wood (solid, plywood, veneer) and other suitable materials. The standard applies to small craft with a hull length (LH) up to 24 m (per ISO 8666) and provides guidance to ensure durability, manufacturability and safe long‑term performance.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Material scope: Weldable hot-rolled steels (plates, flats, sections, bars), austenitic stainless steels (plates/profiles), wrought aluminium alloys (plates, sections, extrusions), timber (solid, plywood, veneer) and other demonstrably suitable materials.
• Mechanical properties for steel:
  • Normal (mild) steel: minimum yield strength Re ≈ 235 N/mm² and tensile strength Rm ≈ 340 N/mm².
  • Higher‑strength steels: specified yield and tensile ranges (e.g., Re ≈ 315–390 N/mm² with corresponding Rm ranges); use requires consideration of welding, heat treatment and fatigue performance.
• Selection and manufacturing: Material selection must account for yard manufacturing practices, welding competence and equipment (see cross-reference to ISO 12215‑4 for workshop/manufacturing).
• Corrosion and compatibility:
  • Galvanic potential differences must be considered when combining dissimilar metals to avoid contact corrosion.
  • Protect timber from adverse reactions with adjacent metals; insulate or shield incompatible combinations.
  • Special design and protection considerations for austenitic stainless steels to mitigate pitting and crevice corrosion.
• Quality and traceability: Materials must be free from prejudicial defects and be traceable via identification systems (stamping, colour coding, documentation).
• Documentation and owner information: Requirements for supplier/manufacturer documentation and information to be provided in the owner’s manual (durability, maintenance, material care).

Applications and users

EN ISO 12215-3 is intended for:

• Naval architects and marine engineers specifying hull materials and scantlings
• Boatbuilders, shipyards and fabricators selecting and fabricating hull materials
• Surveyors, classification societies and regulators assessing material suitability
• Material suppliers and QA teams for traceability and compliance documentation
• Maintenance teams and owners seeking correct care and replacement guidance

Practical applications include material selection for new-build small craft, refurbishment or repair material compatibility checks, and compliance demonstrations for conformity with EU Directive 2013/53/EU where applicable.

ISO 12215-3:2002(E)
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 non-governmental, 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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted
by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO 12215 may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 12215-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 188, Small craft.
ISO 12215 consists of the following parts, under the general title Small craft — Hull construction and scantlings:
— Part 1: Materials: Thermosetting resins, glass-fibre reinforcement, reference laminate
— Part 2: Materials: Core materials for sandwich construction, embedded materials
— Part 3: Materials: Steel, aluminium alloys, wood, other materials
— Part 4: Workshop and manufacturing
— Part 5: Design pressures, design stresses, scantling determination
— Part 6: Structural arrangements and details

Small craft — Hull construction and scantlings —
Part 3:
Materials: Steel, aluminium alloys, wood, other materials
1 Scope
This part of ISO 12215 specifies requirements for materials intended for use in the construction of the hull,
superstructure and appendages, in particular:
— weldable normal and higher strength hot-rolled steel plates, wide flats, sections and bars;
— austenitic stainless steels, fabricated in the form of plates or profiles;
— wrought aluminium alloys fabricated as plates, sections and extruded profiles;
— wood in the form of solid timber, plywood or veneer;
— other suitable materials.
NOTE 1 Other materials may be used in the construction of small craft if adequate suitability and durability for the intended
purpose can be demonstrated.
This part of ISO 12215 applies to small craft with a length hull (L ) according to ISO 8666 of up to 24 m.
H
NOTE 2 The underlying reason for preparing this part of ISO 12215 is that the choice of materials for the construction of a
small craft has a significant influence on short-term and long-term durability under the expected loads and environmental
conditions.
