sides, suitable for navigation in inshore and sheltered waters, up to and including wind force 6
Beaufort and significant wave heights up to 2 m (design categories C and D), with a hull length of
between 8 m and 24 m and with a motor power rating of 15 kW and greater.
— Type X: Powered boats, fitted with a buoyancy tube covering at least 85 % of the port and starboard
sides, suitable for navigation in waters, up to wind force 8 Beaufort and significant wave heights
up to 4 m (design category B), with a hull length of between 8 m and 24 m and with a motor power
rating of 75 kW and greater.
NOTE 1 General arrangements of typical boats of Types IX and X are given in Annexes A and B, respectively.
NOTE 2 For boats with power ratings of 4,5 kW and less, refer to ISO 6185-1. For boats with power ratings of
4,5 kW to 15 kW inclusive, refer to ISO 6185-2. For boats with a hull length of less than 8 m and power rating of
15 kW and greater, refer to ISO 6185-3.
Boats outside these types or outside of Type IX and Type X, as defined, are outside of the scope of ISO 6185.
NOTE 3 For inflatable boats with a hull length greater than 8 m, it is suggested to use the requirements of
ISO 6185-3.

– Tip IX: čolni na motorni pogon s plovno cevjo, ki prekriva najmanj 85 % desne in leve strani, primerni za plovbo v priobalnih oziroma varovanih vodah pri hitrosti vetra največ 6 Beaufortov in značilni višini valov do 2 m (konstrukcijski kategoriji C in D) ter z dolžino trupa med 8 m in 24 m in močjo motorja 15 kW ali več.
– Tip X: čolni na motorni pogon s plovno cevjo, ki prekriva najmanj 85 % desne in leve strani, primerni za plovbo pri hitrosti vetra do 8 Beaufortov in značilni višini valov do 4 m (konstrukcijska kategorija B) ter z dolžino trupa med 8 m in 24 m in močjo motorja 75 kW ali več.
OPOMBA 1: Splošne razvrstitve običajnih čolnov tipa IX in X so podane v ustreznih dodatkih A in B.
OPOMBA 2: Za čolne z motorjem z močjo 4,5 kW ali manj glej ISO 6185-1. Za čolne z motorjem z močjo od 4,5 kW do največ 15 kW glej ISO 6185-2. Za čolne z dolžino trupa manj kot 8 m in močjo motorja 15 kW ali več glej ISO 6185-3.
Drugi tipi čolnov ali tipi čolnov, ki niso v tem dokumentu opredeljenega tipa IX ali X, ne spadajo na področje uporabe standarda ISO 6185.
OPOMBA 3: Za napihljive čolne z dolžino trupa več kot 8 m se priporoča uporaba zahtev standarda ISO 6185-3.

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.
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

This first edition, together with ISO 6185-1, ISO 6185-2 and ISO 6185-3, cancels and replaces
ISO 6185:1982, which has been technically revised.
ISO 6185 consists of the following parts, under the general title Inflatable boats:
— Part 1: Boats with a maximum motor power rating of 4,5 kW
— Part 2: Boats with a maximum motor power rating of 4,5 kW to 15 kW inclusive
— Part 3: Boats with a maximum motor power rating of 15 kW and greater
— Part 4: Boats with a hull length of between 8 m and 24 m with a motor power rating of 15 kW and
greater
This corrected version of ISO 6185-4:2011 incorporates the following corrections:
— A cross-reference to 5.2.2.7 has been added in Table 1, row 3.
— The formula in 5.2.2.7 has been replaced and the unit for d in Table 1 has been changed to mm.

Inflatable boats —
Part 4:
Boats with a hull length of between 8 m and 24 m with a
motor power rating of 15 kW and greater
WARNING — Attention is drawn to the completion process whereby structural items, for
example steering consoles, seats and superstructures, are installed by parties other than the
manufacturer of the boat. These items should be installed to comply with the relevant clauses of
this part of ISO 6185 so it can be ensured that any such installations do not invalidate the original
assessment.

between 8 m and 24 m and with a motor power rating of 15 kW and greater.
— Type X: Powered boats, fitted with a buoyancy tube covering at least 85 % of the port and starboard
sides, suitable for navigation in waters, up to wind force 8 Beaufort and significant wave heights
up to 4 m (design category B), with a hull length of between 8 m and 24 m and with a motor power
rating of 75 kW and greater.
NOTE 1 General arrangements of typical boats of Types IX and X are given in Annexes A and B, respectively.
NOTE 2 For boats with power ratings of 4,5 kW and less, refer to ISO 6185-1. For boats with power ratings of
4,5 kW to 15 kW inclusive, refer to ISO 6185-2. For boats with a hull length of less than 8 m and power rating of
15 kW and greater, refer to ISO 6185-3.
Boats outside these types or outside of Type IX and Type X, as defined, are outside of the scope of ISO 6185.
NOTE 3 For inflatable boats with a hull length greater than 8 m, it is suggested to use the requirements of
ISO 6185-3.
