This document specifies the minimum safety characteristics required for the design, materials, manufacture and testing of inflatable boats and rigid inflatable boats with a length of the hull LH in accordance with ISO 8666 less than 8 m with a motor power rating of 15 kW and greater. This document is applicable to the following types of boats intended for use within the operating temperatures of –20 °C to +60 °C: —     Type VII: Powered boats, fitted with a buoyancy tube on the port and starboard sides, suitable for navigation in conditions of design categories C and D. —     Type VIII: Powered boats, fitted with a buoyancy tube on the port and starboard sides, suitable for navigation in conditions of design category B. This document excludes single-chambered boats and boats with tubes made from unsupported materials, and does not apply to aquatic toys and inflatable liferafts. Boats with tubes made from aluminium, roto-moulded polyethylene, fibre reinforced plastic or other rigid materials are excluded from this document.
