ISO 06185-2:2001 pdf download.lnflatable boats —Part 2: Boats with a maximum motor power rating of 4,5 kW to 15 kW inclusive.
5.2 Hull fittings
5.2.1 Requirement
The materials and method of construction used shall be compatible with that of the hull itself. Any load-bearing fitting attached to the boat (see 3.1 and 3.2) shall not, when loaded as described in 5.2.2, result in any impairment in airtightness or water integrity.
5.2.2 Test method
Any cordage used for test purposes shall have a diameter of 8 mm.
Gradually load the fittings in any direction up to breaking point but not exceeding 2 kN. If 2 kN is reached, maintain this load for 1 mm.
5.3 Manual lifting and carrying devices
5.3.1 Requirement
The boat shall be equipped with a means for carrying it. There shall be no failure of the device when tested in accordance with 5.3.2.
5.3.2 Test method
Any cordage used for test purposes shall have a diameter of 8 mm.
Gradually load the device with a force of 1 kN for 1 mm in the appropriate directions.
Where lifting or carrying devices also function as safety ropes or grab handles, they shall also conform to the requirements of 6.7.1.
5.4 Valves
5.4.1 Inflation
The assemblies shall be made of corrosion-resistant materials and shall not be capable of damaging the boat materials.
The type and arrangement of the inflation valves fitted to an inflatable boat shall ensure that
a) the valves will be readily accessible for connection of the inflation device whether the boat is on land or in the water,
b) the valves will not inconvenience the persons in their predetermined seating positions,
c) the valves will not interfere with the operation of the boat,
d) the valves will not interfere with loading and unloading of the boat,
e) the valves cannot be damaged or torn off by lines, lifelines or movable components of the boat construction or by normal movements of the passengers and load,
f) the valves shall be equipped with a cap that can independently seal the valve and that the cap shall be connected to the valve in a secure manner that prevents it from being accidentally lost, and
g) a controlled reduction in buoyancy-chamber pressure and of measuring that pressure is possible.
5.4.2 Deflation
Deflation of the hull shall be by manual operation, either by using the inflation valve or by using a separate device.
Where separate devices are fitted then these shall be made of corrosion-resistant materials and shall not be capable of damaging the boat material. The design and location of such devices shall meet the requirements of 5.4.1 b) to e) inclusive.
The deflation of any one compartment shall not cause a loss of air or gas from any of the remaining compartments.
5.5 Rowlocks and oars
5.5.1 Requirements
The provision of rowlocks and oars is not mandatory. If they are provided as standard or optional equipment they shall meet the requirements given in 5.5.2 to 5.5.5.
5.5.2 Abrasion damage
The bearing surfaces of the oars and rowlocks shall be free from any roughness likely to cause wear. All external surfaces of the rowlock shall be smooth and free from sharp edges and corners likely to cause damage when the craft is packed.
5.5.3 Prevention from loosening
Rowlocks shall be secured against unintended loosening. Means shall be provided for location of two oars or paddles when stowed away.
5.5.4 Strength of rowlocks
5.5.4.1 Requirement
There shall be no structural failure of the rowlock or associated fittings when tested as described in 5.5.4.2.
5.5.4.2 Test method
Any cordage used for test purposes shall have a diameter of 8 mm.
Load the rowing fitting, including the rowlock, with a force of 500 N for 1 mm in any horizontal direction.
5.5.5 Use of the rowlocks and oars
When tested as described in 7.5, there shall be no structural failures or permanent deformation of any component during the test and it shall be clearly demonstrated that the rowlock system is rigid enough for efficient rowing. A minimum unrestricted movement of the oars 600 ahead and 60° astern shall be required.
5.6 Transom (where applicable)
5.6.1 Requirement
The transom or motor mount and its attachment to the boat shall be designed to withstand, under normal use, the maximum stresses arising from
— the output power and torque of the motor(s) specified by the manufacturer, and
— the weight of such motor(s).
