This part of ISO 12215 concerns structural details and structural components not explicitly included in
ISO 12215-5, ISO 12215-7, ISO 12215-8 and ISO 12215-9. It applies to monohull and multihull small craft
constructed from fibre reinforced plastics (FRP), aluminium or steel alloys, wood or other suitable boat
building material, with a hull length, in accordance with ISO 8666, of up to 24 m.
This part of ISO 12215 fulfils two functions. Firstly, it supports ISO 12215-5 by providing further explanations
and calculation procedures and formulae. Secondly, it gives a number of examples of arrangements and
structural details which illustrate principles of good practice. These principles provide a standard against which
alternative arrangements and structural details can be benchmarked, using the equivalence criteria specified
in this part of ISO 12215.
NOTE Scantlings derived from this part of ISO 12215 are primarily intended to apply to recreational craft including
recreational charter vessels and might not be suitable for performance racing craft.
