Help develop standards for cocks and pumps

British Marine’s technical team works on a huge number of standards to make sure that the equipment you use is fit for purpose and you can easily meet all the essential requirements of the regulations you need to build to. But our work needs your support, and there are two ISO Standards that require your input:

ISO/CD 9093 Small craft — Seacocks and through-hull fittings

This document specifies requirements for through-hull fittings, seacocks, hose connection and fittings used in small craft of up to 24 m length of hull.

ISO/CD 15083 Small craft — Bilge-pumping systems

This document specifies requirements for pumping or alternative means designed to remove normal accumulations of bilge water for small craft with a hull length, LH, up to 24 m according to ISO 8666.

Comments should be submitted using the ISO Comment Form (available on our consultation page) and sent to Simon Vayro, British Marine Technical Executive at: svayro@britishmarine.co.uk

As always, for further information on all the latest consultations and to view the relevant standards, please visit the British Marine Industry Consultation page on our website.
