Introduction

GB/T 20895 "Assessment and classification of stability and buoyancy of small boats" provides the assessment and classification of stability and buoyancy of small boats, which consists of three parts.

constitute.

--- Part 1: Non-sail boats with a hull length of not less than 6 m. The purpose is to give the stability of non-sail boats with a hull length of not less than 6 m.

Evaluation and classification of stability and buoyancy, using this part to assess stability and buoyancy, assigning a value to each boat that matches its design load and maximum Design category (A, B, C or D) appropriate for large loads.

--- Part 2: Sailboats with a hull length of not less than 6 m. The purpose is to give the stability and buoyancy of sailboats with a hull length of not less than 6 m.

This part is used to evaluate the stability and buoyancy of each boat and to assign a load rating corresponding to its design load and maximum load.

The design category (A, B, C or D) is appropriate for the load.

--- Part 3: Boats with a hull length of less than 6 m. The purpose is to provide an assessment of the stability and buoyancy of boats with a hull length of less than 6 m this part is used to evaluate the stability and buoyancy of each boat and to assign a load rating appropriate to its design load and maximum load.

Design category (C or D).

1 Scope

This document describes the method for assessing the stability and buoyancy of intact (i.e. undamaged) non-sail craft of not less than 6 m in length.

Method for determining the buoyancy of a boat susceptible to flooding and sinking.

Use this document to assess stability and buoyancy and assign each boat a design category appropriate to its design load and maximum load.

(A, B, C or D).

This document is applicable to the assessment and evaluation of the stability and buoyancy of boats with a length of 6m to 24m, which are mainly propelled by human or mechanical power.

This document is also applicable to the assessment and classification of the stability and buoyancy of boats with a hull length of less than 6 m, if they do not meet the requirements of ISO 12217-3 and having a deck and a concave body for rapid drainage in accordance with the requirements of ISO 11812.

This document includes an assessment of the upside-down susceptibility of habitable multihull craft, the definition of feasible means of escape, and requirements for upside-down buoyancy.

This document does not include.

--- Inflatable boats and rigid inflatable boats covered by ISO 6185, except for references in ISO 6185 to specific clauses of ISO 12217;

--- Jet skis and other similar power boats covered by ISO 13590;

---Pontoons and pedal boats;

---Sailboat surfboard;

---Surfboards, including powered surfboards;

--- Hydrofoils and hovercraft when not sailing in displacement mode;

---Submersible.

Note. Displacement mode means the boat is supported by hydrostatic forces only.

This document does not consider or assess the effects of towing, fishing, dredging or lifting operations on stability; these will need to be considered separately (if applicable).
