Small craft - Remote mechanical steering systems (ISO 8848:2020)
This document specifies design, construction, installation and test requirements for remote mechanical
cable steering systems and the output ram interface point to rudders, jet drives, outboard and
sterndrive engines for small craft.
It is applicable to three distinct classes of steering systems for use on various types of craft:
— standard duty steering systems, for small craft with single and twin installations of outboard
engines with a total over 15 kW power, and with rudders, sterndrives, and water-jet drives;
— light duty steering systems, for small craft with a single outboard engine of 15 kW to 40 kW power;
— mini-jet steering systems, excluding personal watercraft.
NOTE Standard and light duty steering systems are mechanically interchangeable. A standard duty steering
system can be used on a craft designed for a light duty system. However, a light duty steering system cannot
be used on a craft that requires a standard duty steering system. Mini-jet steering systems are mechanically
differentiated from the previously mentioned systems and can only be used on mini-jet craft as defined in this
document.
This document does not address emergency means for steering the craft.
Kleine Wasserfahrzeuge - Steueranlagen (ISO 8848:2020)
Dieses Dokument legt Anforderungen an Entwurf, Konstruktion, Montage und Prüfung von mechanischen Kabelsteueranlagen sowie die Kupplungsstelle des Endbeschlages des Steuerkabels zu Rudern, Strahlantrieben, Außenbordmotoren und Z Antriebsmotoren für kleine Wasserfahrzeuge fest.
Es ist anwendbar für drei unterschiedliche Klassen von Steueranlagen für den Einsatz auf diversen Wasserfahrzeugtypen:
Steueranlagen in Standardausführung für kleine Wasserfahrzeuge mit Einzel- und Doppel-Außenbordmotoren mit einer Gesamtleistung von mehr als 15 kW sowie mit Rudern, Z Antrieben und Wasserstrahlantrieben;
Steueranlagen in leichter Ausführung für kleine Wasserfahrzeuge mit einem Außenbordmotor mit einer Leistung von 15 kW bis 40 kW;
Mini-Jet-Steueranlagen mit Ausnahme von Wasserskootern.
ANMERKUNG Steueranlagen in Standard- und leichter Ausführung sind mechanisch austauschbar. Eine Steueranlage in Standardausführung kann auch in einem Wasserfahrzeug verwendet werden, das für eine Steueranlage in leichter Ausführung entworfen wurde. Eine Steueranlage in leichter Ausführung kann jedoch nicht in einem Wasserfahrzeug verwendet werden, das eine Steueranlage in Standardausführung erfordert. Mini-Jet-Steueranlagen unterscheiden sich mechanisch von den zuvor genannten Anlagen und können nur in Mini-Jet-Wasserfahrzeugen nach diesem Dokument verwendet werden.
Dieses Dokument befasst sich nicht mit Vorrichtungen zum Steuern des Wasserfahrzeugs im Notfall.
Petits navires - Appareils à gouverner commandés à distance (ISO 8848:2020)
Le présent document spécifie les exigences relatives à la conception, la construction, l'installation et les essais des systèmes de direction mécaniques commandés à distance par câbles, et aux points d'interface entre le vérin de commande et les gouvernails, hydrojets, moteurs hors-bord et moteur à embase de propulsion arrière pour les petits navires.
Il s'applique à trois classes distinctes de systèmes de direction pour une utilisation sur différents types de bateaux:
— les systèmes de direction à utilisation standard, pour les petits navires avec installations monomoteur et bimoteurs hors-bord d'une puissance totale supérieure à 15 kW, et avec des gouvernails, embases arrière de propulsion et propulsion par hydrojet;
— les systèmes de direction à utilisation légère, pour petits navires à un seul moteur hors-bord d'une puissance de 15 kW à 40 kW;
— les systèmes de direction à mini-tuyères, à l'exclusion des véhicules nautiques à moteur (motos aquatiques).
NOTE Les systèmes de direction à utilisation standard et légère sont interchangeables mécaniquement. Un système de direction à utilisation standard peut être utilisé sur un bateau conçu pour un système à utilisation légère. Cependant, un système de direction à utilisation légère ne peut pas être utilisé sur un bateau qui nécessite un système de direction à utilisation standard. Les systèmes de direction pour mini-tuyères sont mécaniquement différenciés des systèmes mentionnés ci-dessus et ne peuvent être utilisés que sur des mini-tuyères tels que définis dans ce document.
Ce document ne traite pas systèmes des dispositifs de barre/direction de secours du bateau.

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

Small craft — Remote mechanical steering systems
1 Scope
This document specifies design, construction, installation and test requirements for remote mechanical
cable steering systems and the output ram interface point to rudders, jet drives, outboard and
sterndrive engines for small craft.
It is applicable to three distinct classes of steering systems for use on various types of craft:
— standard duty steering systems, for small craft with single and twin installations of outboard
engines with a total over 15 kW power, and with rudders, sterndrives, and water-jet drives;
— light duty steering systems, for small craft with a single outboard engine of 15 kW to 40 kW power;
— mini-jet steering systems, excluding personal watercraft.
NOTE Standard and light duty steering systems are mechanically interchangeable. A standard duty steering
system can be used on a craft designed for a light duty system. However, a light duty steering system cannot
be used on a craft that requires a standard duty steering system. Mini-jet steering systems are mechanically
differentiated from the previously mentioned systems and can only be used on mini-jet craft as defined in this
document.
This document does not address emergency means for steering the craft.

Introduction
This standard specifies design, construction and installation requirements for remote mechanical
cable steering systems and the major components thereof, for outboard, inboard, sterndrive, and water
jet drive small craft.
The standard defines requirements for steering systems that can be utilized in three distinct classes of
steering systems for use on various types of craft:
— standard for small craft with single and twin installations of outboard engines of over 15 kW power,
and all inboard engines, sterndrives, and water-jet drives;
— light duty for small craft with a single outboard engine of 15 kW to 40 kW power;
— mini-jet for small inboard jet craft weighing less than 1 000 kg, excluding personal watercraft.
Standard and light duty steering systems are mechanically interchangeable. A standard steering system
may be used on a craft designed for a light duty system. However, a light duty steering system may not
be used on a craft that requires a standard steering system. Mini-jet steering systems are mechanically
differentiated from the previously mentioned systems and may only be used on mini-jet craft as defined
in this standard.
