Description (English):

La présente partie de l'ISO 12215 s'applique aux résines thermodurcissables et aux renforcements de fibres de verre utilisés pour la construction des petits navires de longueur de coque (LH) allant jusqu'à 24 m, conformément à l'ISO 8666. Elle spécifie les exigences minimales concernant les propriétés des produits à base de fibre de verre, des matrices de résine et des stratifiés de référence élaborés à partir de ces produits. La présente partie de l'ISO 12215 peut être appliquée à d'autres produits, sous réserve que les exigences minimales et les propriétés du stratifié de référence soient respectées. NOTE La présente Norme internationale a été élaborée en vue d'harmoniser les normes et pratiques recommandées existantes, relatives aux charges exercées sur la coque et au dimensionnement des petits navires, qui présentent des différences considérables, d'où une limitation de la conformité générale des navires à l'échelle mondiale.

Abstract

Overview

ISO 12215-1:2000 specifies minimum material requirements for hull construction of small craft using thermosetting resins and glass-fibre reinforcement. It applies to small craft with hull length up to 24 m (per ISO 8666) and defines the required properties for gelcoat, topcoat, laminating resins, glass reinforcements and a defined reference laminate. The standard is intended to harmonize material requirements used in small-craft scantling and hull-load design.

Key Topics and Requirements

Scope: Materials for hull laminates (thermosetting resins and glass fibres) for craft ≤ 24 m.
Reinforcement (glass fibre):
- Reference material: E‑glass per ISO 2078 (other fibres acceptable if equal or better).
- Delivery limits: moisture content (roving 0.2%, chopped strand mat 0.5%, fabrics 0.2%), mass tolerances (−5% to +10%), loss on ignition tolerance (+20%).
- Suppliers must declare compatibility, storage and handling instructions; boat manufacturers must retain documentation.
Resins:
- Liquid resin property tolerances: viscosity ±20%, gel time ±20%, monomer content ±5%, density ±5%, mineral content ±5% (where applicable).
- Cured resin performance (Types A, B, C): minimum tensile strength, elongation, flexural strength and modulus, heat deflection temperature, water absorption and Barcol hardness are defined after a postcure (24 h at 50 °C). Resins for gelcoat/topcoat and laminating resins must meet the appropriate Type requirements or be justified for specific applications.
- Fillers/additives and catalysts must be used as manufacturer recommends to ensure wet‑out and cure.
Reference laminate:
- Minimum mechanical properties (post cure): ultimate tensile strength 80 MPa; tensile modulus 6 350 MPa; ultimate flexural strength 135 MPa; flexural modulus 5 200 MPa; in‑plane shear 50 MPa; short‑beam interlaminar shear 15 MPa.
- Reference laminate composition: glass chopped‑strand mat + resin, glass content ≤ 30% by mass.
- Resin manufacturers must demonstrate that these properties can be achieved and declare process substances used.

Applications

Designers and naval architects specifying laminate materials and scantlings for recreational and commercial small craft.
Boat manufacturers and laminators verifying supplier data and material declarations for resin systems, gelcoats, fabrics, rovings and mats.
Material suppliers and test laboratories for compliance testing and documentation of resin/fibre properties.

Keywords: ISO 12215-1, small craft, hull construction, thermosetting resins, glass-fibre reinforcement, reference laminate, laminating resin, gelcoat, laminate properties.
