BS EN ISO 12217-1:2017 specifies methods for evaluating the stability and buoyancy of intact (i.e.
undamaged) boats. The flotation characteristics of boats susceptible to swamping are also encompassed.The evaluation of stability and buoyancy properties using this part of ISO 12217 will enable the boat to
be assigned to a design category (A, B, C or D) appropriate to its design and maximum total load.This part of ISO 12217 is principally applicable to boats propelled by human or mechanical power of
6 m up to 24 m hull length. However, it can also be applied to boats of under 6 m if they do not attain the
desired design category specified in ISO 12217-3 and they are decked and have quick-draining recesses
which comply with ISO 11812.In relation to habitable multihulls, this part of ISO 12217 includes assessment of susceptibility to
inversion, definition of viable means of escape and requirements for inverted flotation.Cross References:ISO 6185-4:2011ISO 3864-1ISO 15085ISO 12217-3ISO 12217-2ISO 15083ISO 14946ISO 12216ISO 10240ISO 9093-1ISO 9093-2ISO 8666ISO 12217-3:2015ISO 2896ISO 12217-2:2015ISO 11812IMO Resolution MSC.81(70)ISO 7010EUISO 6185ASTM F1321-92ISO 6185 (all parts)All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
