ISO/TC 8/SC 12/WG 2 - Safety and hull integrity

This document specifies technical requirements for independent glazed openings on large yachts, taking into account navigation conditions, the location of the opening and the materials, framing and testing. Large yachts are yachts with length of the hull, LH, higher or equal to 24 m, used for sport or pleasure and commercial operations. This document is suitable for the design of glazed openings on all large yachts. However, where yachts carry more than 12 passengers, the additional requirements (set by the appropriate marine administration) for fire integrity and damage stability are outside the scope of this standard. The opening and the associated closing appliances considered in this document are only those that are above the deepest waterline (dsw) and are critical for the ship integrity related to weathertightness and watertightness, i.e. those that can lead to ingress of water in the hull in case of rupture, dislocation or loss of the pane or its mounting. This document is related and limited to independent glazed openings in which the pane is supported solely by simple linear support at the edges. Glazing in which the rotation at the edges is constrained more than it would be by a single bond line is not covered by this document. This document, excluding annexes, is limited to glazing of any shape, which is simply supported along all edges. Horizontally positioned glazing is excluded. NOTE This document is based on the experience of ship window and glass manufacturers, shipbuilders and authorities who apply to ships the regulations of SOLAS, as amended[7], and of the International Convention of Load Lines, as amended[6], noting the provisions by the SOLAS Protocol of 1988, Article 8, as agreed by the appropriate Marine Administration, and on the experience gained with application of the Large Commercial Yacht Code and the REG Yacht Code[16].

This document specifies technical requirements for direct adhesive bonding of glazing materials into recesses forming part of the structure of the ship and into frames that are fastened to the structure of the ship. It is applicable to large yachts as defined in ISO 11336-1. This document is limited to the bonding of independent glazed openings, where the bonded joint is designed to withstand local loads (from external loads coming from weather and sea conditions, internal impact loads from accidental passenger or cargo shifting, wind suction and accelerations due to ship motions). Bonding of glazed openings where the glazing material is subjected to loads from global ship motions (bending, shear force and torsion), which are considered as structural glazed openings, are outside the scope of this document. Quantitative identification of the global deflection is also outside the scope. Additionally, this document is limited to bonding that exhibits elastic behaviour, and excludes rigid bonding and nonlinear elastic bonding. The design of the bonding for the following installation types is outside the scope of this document: — fire protected areas; — glazed bulwarks; — underwater glazing; — pool glazing; — glazing for use in polar areas; — unstepped IGUs.

This document specifies — the content of the product data sheet of glazing materials for use on yachts, — the evaluation of conformity to the product data sheet of laminated glass and laminated safety glass for use on yachts, — the product labelling and identification methods for glass supplied for installation on board a yacht, and — methods for survey of installed glazing. It does not cover distortion of view or aesthetic aspects.

ISO 14884:2015 specifies technical requirements for weathertight hinged, sliding, and pantograph doors for manual and powered operation providing access to accommodation and service areas on large yachts, taking into account the location of the appliance. This International Standard only considers design loads applied to the door and transmitted into the frame and the adjacent structure. Loads imparted from the yacht's structure into the door or in its associated frame are not considered in this International Standard. Unframed glazed doors are outside the scope of this International Standard. Forward facing multi-leaf doors on the weather deck are outside the scope of this International Standard. Large yachts are of L greater than or equal to 24 m, in use for sport or pleasure and commercial operations. The appliances considered in this International Standard are primarily those that are intended to achieve weathertightness as required by International Convention on Load Lines 1966 as amended by the Protocol of 1988 (ICLL), (i.e. those fitted in position 1 and position 2) as defined in this regulation. NOTE This International Standard is based on the experience of ship door, window, and glass manufacturers, shipbuilders, and authorities who apply to ships the regulations of the ICLL, noting the provisions of Article 8 "equivalents", as agreed by the appropriate marine administration

ISO 11336-1:2012 specifies technical requirements for glazed openings on large yachts, taking into account navigation conditions, and the location of the opening. Large yachts are yachts with length of the hull, LH, higher or equal to 24 m, in use for sport or pleasure and commercial operations, with a tonnage limitation up to 3 000 gross tonnage, according to the International Tonnage Convention. The opening and the associated closing appliances considered in ISO 11336-1:2012 are only those that are above the deepest waterline (dsw) and are critical for the ship integrity related to weathertightness and watertightness, i.e. those that could lead to ingress of water in the hull in case of rupture of the pane. The scope of ISO 11336-1:2012 is related to and limited to independent glazed openings.
