ISO 12215-3:2002(E)
Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted
by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO 12215 may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 12215-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 188, Small craft.
ISO 12215 consists of the following parts, under the general title Small craft — Hull construction and scantlings:
— Part 1: Materials: Thermosetting resins, glass-fibre reinforcement, reference laminate
— Part 2: Materials: Core materials for sandwich construction, embedded materials
— Part 3: Materials: Steel, aluminium alloys, wood, other materials
— Part 4: Workshop and manufacturing
— Part 5: Design pressures, design stresses, scantling determination
— Part 6: Structural arrangements and details
Annex A forms a normative part of this part of ISO 12215.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 12215-3:2002(E)

Small craft — Hull construction and scantlings —
Part 3:
Materials: Steel, aluminium alloys, wood, other materials
1 Scope
This part of ISO 12215 specifies requirements for materials intended for use in the construction of the hull,
superstructure and appendages, in particular:
— weldable normal and higher strength hot-rolled steel plates, wide flats, sections and bars;
— austenitic stainless steels, fabricated in the form of plates or profiles;
— wrought aluminium alloys fabricated as plates, sections and extruded profiles;
— wood in the form of solid timber, plywood or veneer;
— other suitable materials.
NOTE 1 Other materials may be used in the construction of small craft if adequate suitability and durability for the intended
purpose can be demonstrated.
This part of ISO 12215 applies to small craft with a length hull (L ) according to ISO 8666 of up to 24 m.
H
NOTE 2 The underlying reason for preparing this part of ISO 12215 is that the choice of materials for the construction of a
small craft has a significant influence on short-term and long-term durability under the expected loads and environmental
conditions.
2 Normative references
The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of
this part of ISO 12215. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications
do not apply. However, parties to agreements based on this part of ISO 12215 are encouraged to investigate the
possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. For undated
references, the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of ISO and IEC maintain
registers of currently valid International Standards.

NOTE The designation of durability of wood is given in Table 1.
3.2
veneer
solid wood with a thickness of no more than 5 mm in its finished state
4 Requirements for metal
4.1 Properties of materials
Materials covered by this part of ISO 12215 are dealt with by many international and national standards, also
classification societies, active in the survey of ships and small craft. The properties of all metal used in the
construction of small craft shall be suitable for marine use and the intended methods of construction. The metal
shall comply with a relevant International or National Standard, classification society rule or be supported by
documentation to validate its suitability for marine use.
4.2 Selection of materials
The choice of materials shall take into account the manufacturing conditions in the boat yard, environmental
limitations, the anticipated manufacturing process, the competence of welders and the welding equipment being
used, as specified in ISO 12215-4.
4.3 Material combinations
4.3.1 When combining metals of different type or composition, the galvanic potential difference must be
considered in order to avoid contact corrosion.
NOTE The rate of contact corrosion may be influenced by environmental conditions, heat treatment, welding and forming.
