<p>This part of ISO 12217 specifies methods for evaluating the stability and buoyancy of intact (i.e. undamaged) boats. The flotation characteristics of craft vulnerable to swamping are also encompassed.</p>
<p>The evaluation of stability and buoyancy properties using this part of ISO 12217 will enable the boat to be assigned to a design category (C or D) appropriate to its design and maximum load. </p>
<p>This part of ISO 12217 is applicable to boats of hull length less than 6 m, whether propelled by human or mechanical power, except habitable sailing multihulls. Boats of hull length less than 6 m, which are fitted with a full deck and quick-draining cockpit(s) complying with ISO 11812, may alternatively be assessed using ISO 12217-1 or ISO 12217-2 (for non-sailing and sailing boats respectively), in which case higher design categories may be assigned.</p>
<p>This part of ISO 12217 excludes</p>
aquatic toys, canoes, kayaks, or other boats with a beam of less than 1,1 m, inflatable and rigid-inflatable boats up to 8 m covered by ISO 6185, personal watercraft covered by ISO 13590, hydrofoils and hovercraft when operating in the dynamically supported mode, and submersibles.
<p>It does not include or evaluate the effects on stability of towing, fishing, dredging or lifting operations, which should be separately considered if appropriate.</p>
