ISO/TC 188/WG 31 - Fire protection

This document defines a practical degree of fire prevention and protection intended to provide enough time for occupants to escape a fire on board small craft. It applies to small craft having a length of the hull (LH) of up to 24 m except for personal watercraft. This document does not cover: — the design and installation of permanently installed galley stoves and heating appliances (including components used to distribute the heat) using fuels that are liquid at atmospheric pressure on small craft, which are covered by ISO 14895:2016; — carbon monoxide detecting systems, which are covered by ISO 12133.

This document specifies requirements for the design, construction and installation of carbon monoxide detection and alarm systems in small craft. Annex A provides essential educational material about carbon monoxide relative to small craft, and recreational boating recommendations.
