The work of preparing International Standard
9、s 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
10、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 2. The main task of technical committees is t
11、o 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
12、that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 22673 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 8, Ships and marine technology, Subcommittee SC 4, Outfitting and deck machinery. BS I
13、SO 22673:2008vIntroduction This International Standard forms a code of practical interpretation and amplification of the requirements of the convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), to provide an identical basis for design, manufacture and acceptance of launching appliances for free-fall li
14、feboats for use by ship-owners, shipbuilders and appropriate organizations. This International Standard provides the design requirements for launching ramp length and angle. According to 6.1.4.7 of the LSA Code, the secondary launching appliance can use both the ships main and emergency power suppli
15、es, so it is significant to admit the conviction that boat handling appliances can be independent of launching ramps. A simulated launching test and strip for inspection are supplemented in the test method. This International Standard includes requirements of lifeboat stowage, arrangement on board,
16、inspection and maintenance because the launching appliances for free-fall lifeboats are closely related to ships. This International Standard is mainly based on amendments to SOLAS 1974, dating from 1983 to 1996, and relevant IMO resolutions and protocols, especially Res.MSC.47(66)1, Res.MSC.48(66)2
17、, Res.MSC.81(70)3, Res.MSC.216(82)4and Res.MSC.218(82)5. This International Standard also refers to MSC/Circ.9806, MSC/Circ.1205 and MSC/Circ.1206. BS ISO 22673:2008blank1Ships and marine technology Launching appliances for free-fall lifeboats 1 Scope This International Standard defines certain term
18、s for launching appliances for free-fall lifeboats (hereinafter simply referred to as free-fall launching appliances) and specifies the requirements for design, construction, acceptance, examination, performance, operation and maintenance. This International Standard is applicable to the launching a
19、ppliances which use inclined ramps to launch free-fall lifeboats (hereinafter simply referred to as lifeboats) from ships and from offshore platforms. 2 Normative reference The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

30、position, against a trim of up to 10 and a list of up to 20 either way, independent of any means other than gravity or stored mechanical power which, in turn, is independent of the ships power supply. It shall also be capable of enabling the lifeboat to be effectively clear of the ship after entry i
31、nto the water. 4.1.2 Notwithstanding the requirement of 4.1.1, a free-fall launching appliance for oil tankers, chemical tankers and gas carries with a final angle of heel greater than 20 calculated in accordance with MARPOL 73/78, shall be capable of free-fall launching of the fully-loaded boat or
32、the non-loaded boat at the final angle of heel on the lower side of the ship taking into consideration the final damaged waterline of the ship. It shall also be capable of enabling the lifeboat to be effectively clear of the ship after entry into the water. BS ISO 22673:200834.1.3 A free-fall launch
33、ing appliance shall be capable of simulating launching of the lifeboat stationed on the ramp, without allowing the lifeboat to fall into the water. 4.2 Recovery of lifeboat A free-fall launching appliance shall be capable of recovering a non-loaded lifeboat with crew (equivalent maximum recovering l
34、oad) by power, from the water to its stowed position under ship conditions of approximately even keel. 4.3 Controlled launching of lifeboat Each free-fall launching appliance shall be provided with a secondary means of launching the fully-loaded boat and the non-loaded boat by means of arms and fall
35、s under control, against a trim of up to 2 and a list of up to 5 either way, from its stowed position, into the water. Such means can use the ships main and emergency power supplies. 4.4 Stowage of lifeboat 4.4.1 A free-fall launching appliance shall be so designed and arranged that the distance fro
36、m the lowest point on the lifeboat it serves, to the still waters surface does not exceed the lifeboats free-fall certification height. 4.4.2 The lifeboat shall not only be held securely in its stowed position, but also be constantly in a ready-to-launch state so that two crew members can complete t
37、he preparation for embarkation and launching the lifeboat within 5 min. 4.5 Float-free launching of lifeboat Where a free-fall launching appliance is designed to float free, the float-free release of the lifeboat from its stowed position shall be automatic. 5 Design and construction 5.1 General requ
38、irements 5.1.1 A free-fall launching appliance shall be constructed from materials that are not damaged in the air temperature range 30 C to +65 C. 5.1.2 Materials of a free-fall launching appliance which are exposed to the weather shall be resistant to deterioration and corrosion, or protected by g
39、alvanizing and other safeguarding means. 5.1.3 Equipment that is likely to be immersed in seawater such as hydrostatic release units and weak links shall operate in the seawater temperature range 1 C to 30 C. 5.1.4 The major structural members, such as ramps, arms, sheave racks, etc., shall be made
40、from materials in the form of steel plates, tubes or profiled bar that meet the requirements for seagoing conditions and have the satisfactory weldability. Their minimum thickness shall be not less than 6 mm. The major structural members shall be designed with a factor of safety of not less than 4,5
41、 on the basis of the maximum working load assigned and the ultimate strengths of the materials used for construction. 5.1.5 Loose gears, such as lifting beams, blocks, chains, links, shackles, hooks, padeyes, etc., shall not be made from cast and/or similar fragile materials. Loose gears shall be de
42、signed with a factor of safety of not less than 6 on the basis of the maximum working load assigned and the ultimate strengths of the materials used in connection with launching equipment. 5.1.6 Each free-fall launching appliance shall remain effective for life-saving under conditions of icing. BS I
43、SO 22673:20084 5.1.7 Each free-fall launching appliance shall be so constructed that only a minimum amount of routine maintenance is necessary. All parts requiring regular maintenance by the ships crew shall be readily accessible and easily maintained. 5.2 Construction For the purpose of meeting the
44、 performance requirements as specified in 4.1 to 4.4, each free-fall launching appliance shall have four functions: viz, free-fall launching, recovering, controlled launching, lifeboat stowage. Therefore, the construction of a free-fall launching appliance shall consist of two major portions: the la
45、unching ramp and the boat recovery/launching appliance. The two portions are usually designed to be integrated into one unit, but sometimes can be designed to be constructed separately with independent performance. Notwithstanding the design, the four functions as mentioned above shall be provided w
46、ith, and all relevant performances shall be in compliance with, the accorded requirements of this International Standard. 5.3 Launching ramp 5.3.1 The launching ramp shall be designed and arranged according to the parameters provided by the manufacturer of the lifeboat and certified by the approving
47、 authority in order to protect the occupants in the lifeboat from harmful acceleration forces resulting from free-fall launching, and to ensure the lifeboats effective clearing of the ship after entry into the water. With the ship on an even keel, the angle between the horizontal and the launch rail
48、 of the lifeboat in its launching position shall be equal to the certified launching ramp angle. This angle shall not be less than 30. With the ship on an even keel, the distance from the stern of the lifeboat in its launching position to the lower end on the ramp shall comply with the requirements
49、of the certified launching ramp length. 5.3.2 The launching ramp shall be so designed and arranged that only one release hook is used to link the lifeboat to the launching ramp. The ramp shall also be provided with means to carry out simulated launching of the lifeboat. 5.3.3 A free-fall launching appliance shall be constructed so as to prevent sparking and/or incendiary friction during the launching of the lifeboat. Means such as rollers or sliding boards can be used on the launching ramp. 5.3.4 Against unfavourable conditions of tri
