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 2.
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 document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 21487 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 188, Small craft.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 21487:2006), which has been technically revised.
It also incorporates the Technical Corrigendum ISO 21487:2006/Cor.1:2008. The main changes from the first
edition are the following:
— diesel tanks shall be equipped with inspection hatch(es) for cleaning and inspection (4.3.10);
— metallic tanks may be static pressure tested as an alternative to the pressure-impulse test (5.2.2);
— non-metallic, non-integral tanks, if installed in an engine compartment, shall be fire tested (6.2.3);
— non-metallic tanks shall be marked with the maximum temperature to which the tank may be exposed (Clause 8).

3.6
integral tank
tank which forms part of the structure of the craft
4 General properties
4.1 Resistance to liquids in contact
4.1.1 All seals such as gaskets, o-rings and joint-rings shall be of non-wicking, i.e. non-fuel absorbent, material.
4.1.2 All materials used shall be resistant to deterioration by the fuel for which the system is designed and
to other liquids or compounds with which the material can come in contact as installed under normal operating
conditions, e.g. grease, lubricating oil, bilge solvents and sea water.
4.2 Copper-based alloys
Copper-based alloys for fittings are acceptable for direct coupling with all tank materials specified in Table 1,
except aluminium. Copper-based alloy fittings are allowed for aluminium tanks only if a galvanic barrier is
arranged between fitting and tank.
4.3 Provisions to tanks
4.3.1 There shall be provisions to determine the fuel level or quantity in the tank considering also the
requirements in 5.1.2 for petrol fuel tanks and 6.1.3 for diesel fuel tanks.
4.3.2 Metal tanks shall be designed or installed so that no exterior surface will trap water.
4.3.3 All rigid tubes and pipes which extend near the tank bottom shall have sufficient clearance to prevent
contact with the bottom during normal operation of the craft.
4.3.4 On metallic tanks, all metallic non-integral tank supports, chocks or hangers shall either be separated
from the surface of the tank by a non-metallic, non-hygroscopic, non-abrasive material or welded to the tank.
4.3.5 If baffles are provided, the total open area provided in the baffles shall be not greater than 30 % of the
tank cross section in the plane of the baffle.
4.3.6 Baffle openings shall be designed so that they do not prevent the fuel flow across the bottom or trap
vapour across the top of the tank.
4.3.7 The fuel fill pipe on the tank shall have a minimum inside diameter of 28,5 mm.
2
4.3.8 Each ventilation pipe on the tank shall have a minimum inside diameter of 11 mm (95 mm ) or a
ventilation opening designed to prevent the tank pressure from exceeding 80 % of the maximum test pressure
marked on the tank label when tested in accordance with ISO 10088.
4.3.9 Suitable metallic tank materials and minimum recommended material thicknesses required for
corrosion resistance are given in Table 1. Other materials may be used if they demonstrate equivalent fuel and
corrosion resistance.
4.3.10 Diesel tanks shall be equipped with inspection hatch(es) having a suitable diameter of at least 120 mm at
suitable position(s) for cleaning and inspection of the lowest part(s) of the tank. The hatch must remain accessible
when the tank has been installed in the craft. The hatch(es) may be located on the top or side of the tank.

4.4 Installation of non-integral tanks
4.4.1 Tank mechanical fixing
Non-integral tanks shall be installed so that the loads due to the mass of the full tank are safely introduced into
the structure, with due consideration given to upward and downward acceleration due to the craft’s movements at
maximum speed in the sea. In this respect, continuous flexible supports spreading loads are preferable to rigid ones.
Metal or textile hold-down straps are considered as a good practice provided that chafe and corrosion are kept
to a minimum.
4.4.2 Other installation requirements
For other installation requirements (filling, vent lines, fuel circuit, etc.), ISO 10088 applies.
5 Petrol fuel tanks: design and tests
5.1 Design
5.1.1 Petrol fuel tanks shall not be integral with the hull.
5.1.2 Petrol fuel tanks shall have all fittings and openings on top, except metallic fill and ventilation pipes,
which may be connected to the sides or ends of metal petrol fuel tanks, provided that they are welded to the
tank and reach above the top of the tank.
5.1.3 Tank drains are not permitted on petrol fuel tanks.
5.2 Tests to be performed

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 2.
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 document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 21487 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 188, Small craft.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 21487:2006), which has been technically revised.
It also incorporates the Technical Corrigendum ISO 21487:2006/Cor.1:2008. The main changes from the first
edition are the following:
— diesel tanks shall be equipped with inspection hatch(es) for cleaning and inspection (4.3.10);
— metallic tanks may be static pressure tested as an alternative to the pressure-impulse test (5.2.2);
— non-metallic, non-integral tanks, if installed in an engine compartment, shall be fire tested (6.2.3);
— non-metallic tanks shall be marked with the maximum temperature to which the tank may be exposed (Clause 8).

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 21487:2012(E)
Small craft — Permanently installed petrol and diesel fuel tanks
1 Scope
This International Standard establishes requirements for design and test of petrol and diesel fuel tanks for internal
combustion engines that are intended to be permanently installed in small craft of up to 24 m length of hull.
For installation requirements, ISO 10088 applies.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
petrol
hydrocarbon fuel or blend of hydrocarbon fuel and denatured ethanol which is liquid at atmospheric pressure
and is used in spark ignition engines

4 General properties
4.1 Resistance to liquids in contact
4.1.1 All seals such as gaskets, o-rings and joint-rings shall be of non-wicking, i.e. non-fuel absorbent, material.
4.1.2 All materials used shall be resistant to deterioration by the fuel for which the system is designed and
to other liquids or compounds with which the material can come in contact as installed under normal operating
conditions, e.g. gre
