MOTIVATIONS BEHIND THE REVISIONS
▪Current version published in 2008
▪Significant changes have occurred in the marine and composite industry since then
▪The aims of the new version are:
▪Answer the feedback from industry
▪Improve the clarity of the standard to widen the range of users
▪Propose an improved consideration for single and double curvature
▪Refine the definition of natural stiffeners for round bilge hull
▪Offer a more modern approach to the mechanical properties of composites through CLT
▪Better definition of the pressures (including applications to large sandwich panels)
▪The revision work also allowed to improve a great many details.

CHANGES TO THE SCOPE
▪The definition of the local design pressures and design strength apply to both monohulls (ISO12215-5),
and soon multihulls (ISO 12215-7)
▪The scope has been extended to cover small crafts for professional use (workboats)
▪Speed limit extended beyond 50 knots and accelerations up to 8g for workboats
▪To bridge the regulatory no-man’s-land arising from the small craft upper limit being at 24m hull length
and the IMO regulation starting at 24m Load Line length, the Working Group decided that the ISO
12215 will now apply to an ‘enhanced’ definition of small crafts, i.e. a new upper limit of 24m Load
Line
▪Note: this is only for the ISO 12215, and has not been adopted by other working groups of the RCD.

APPLICABLE METHODS FOR THE STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
▪1. Simplified Method
▪Based on simple thickness equation for metal, wood and GRP single skin
▪2. Enhanced Method
▪Ply by ply analysis for metal, wood and quasi-isotropic GRP
▪3. Developed Method
▪Application of CLT to all FRP structures
▪4. Direct Test
▪Relying on mechanical testing, applicable to all but primarily intended for FRP
▪5. FEM
▪Finite element methods using the ISO design pressures and properties, also mostly aimed at FRP
▪6. Drop Test
▪Applicable to vessels less than 6m in FRP and non-reinforced plastics

DOUBLE CURVATURE
▪The significant impact of double curvature for small crafts is not normally accounted for in rule-based
structures
▪Finite element methods have been employed to first validate the Timoshenko coefficient for curved
plates, and then utilised to develop new correction coefficient for the loading on a panel with double
curvature

NATURAL STIFFENERS
▪Natural stiffeners are well defined for a sharp angle between two plates
▪The problem is made more complex when looking at a highly curved plate
▪Further investigation into the effects of curvature on structures allows to define a new criteria for
natural stiffeners
▪Find, if possible, a circle that corresponds
approximatively to the shape of the hull. Its
connection to the hull is usually at the tangent
point with a parallel to the diagonal between
bottom at CL and deck edge. If the radius of this
circle is ≤0,40 the length of the diagonal, and if the
chord of contact or intersection between the circle
and the hull is > 0,8 R, the "turn of the bilge" is
considered strong enough to be a "natural"
stiffener.

UPGRADES TO COMPOSITE THEORY
▪Updated mechanical properties for CLT applications to reflect the developments over the last decade
▪Also features improved ‘guidance values’ for fibre weight fractions for a wider range of clothes and
lamination process (from Hand layup to prepreg in autoclave).
▪And a ‘boat building quality factor’ to reflect the production method and quality control during the
build process.

WEBSCANT
▪In order to validate the development of the standard and ensure a good application once launched, the
WEBSCANT website was created
http://www.webscant.com/
Jean-Baptiste R. G. Souppez & Jonathan Ridley –The Revisions of the BS EN ISO 12215 Marine Sector Showcase –Composite UK - 2017 10
WEBSCANT
▪Webscant allows to input examples of
interesting yachts:
▪Well experience boat or component not
meeting the ISO 12215-5 (2008)
▪Well experience boat or component at the
limit of the ISO 12215-5 (2008)
▪Well experience boat or component easily
in accordance with the ISO 12215-5 (2008)
▪All data is kept secured, only accessible by
the Convenor of the ISO 12215 for
validation purposes
The larger the industry involvement,
the better the final standard will be.
