  Description:

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 (ISO 6185-4:2011, Corrected version 2014-08-01)

  Purpose

This part of ISO 6185 specifies the minimum safety characteristics required for the design, materials, manufacture and testing of rigid inflatable boats (RIBs) with a hull length of between 8 m and 24 m and with a motor power rating of 15 kW and greater. This part of ISO 6185 is applicable to Type IX and Type X RIBs intended for use within the operating temperatures of -20 °C to +60 °C. Type IX: Powered boats, fitted with a buoyancy tube covering at least 85% of the port and starboard 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.
