BS EN 15649-7:2009EN 15649-7:2009 (E) 6 Introduction This part of the standard covers boats of custom
24、ary construction and design with an overall length from 1,2 m (uninflated, flat) up to 1 800 N buoyancy. Such boats are mostly intended for recreational water activities and for the use by children. However, smaller tender boats such as those used on yachts also fall within this size range and small
25、 boats for specific applications (e.g. fishing boats) may also be included. Therefore, irrespec-tive of the main group of users, powered craft and sail craft have also been taken into consideration.

29、ticles for use on and in water according to EN 15649-1 regardless whether the buoyancy is achieved by inflation or inherent buoyant material. This document (EN 15649-7) is applicable with EN 15649-1 and EN 15649-2. Class E devices are intended for use in bathing areas or in protected and safe shore
30、zones. NOTE 1 Typical products forming class E: inflatable boats for rowing or paddling of near oval shape with or without transom; canoes and kayaks; inflatable boats made from plastic sheets or from reinforced materials; motor kit/sail kit as additional option. NOTE 2 Typical places for applicatio
31、n of Class E devices: moving from A to B for pleasure purposes; staying on the water for relaxing; moving from shore to the main water craft, transportation of persons and load (tender boat). 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this docu

35、flation and intended for the transportation of persons on the water; its design and shape give it the capability to with-stand forces and movements arising from various sea conditions BS EN 15649-7:2009EN 15649-7:2009 (E) 9 NOTE An inflatable boat is considered as an aquatic toy (toy in form of a bo
36、at) according to EN 71-1, when: a) it is intended for use without any propelling means (oars, paddles, motor, sail) and these are also not to be fitted sub-sequently; and b) its overall length is 120 cm and the boat is additionally marked with the following warning note “Caution, to be used only in
37、shallow water and under supervision“. 3.3 tender sport boats serve as an auxiliary means in working around a bigger water craft but mainly to commute from the craft to shore or other places nearby NOTE In this respect the transport crew and load. Tenders are propelled by oars, frequently they are eq
