BS ISO 11336-2:2020 - Large Yachts: Strength, Weathertightness, and Watertightness of Glazed Openings

Introducing the BS ISO 11336-2:2020, a comprehensive standard that sets the benchmark for the design, structural support, installation, and testing of glazed openings in large yachts. This standard is essential for ensuring the safety, durability, and performance of glazed openings that are elastically bonded to the bulkhead or shell of a yacht.

Comprehensive Design Criteria

This standard provides detailed design criteria for integrating glazed openings into the adjacent structure of large yachts. It focuses on ensuring that these openings are not only aesthetically pleasing but also meet stringent safety and performance standards. The criteria cover aspects such as:

• Material selection and compatibility
• Load-bearing capacity
• Resistance to environmental factors
• Integration with the yacht's overall design

Structural Support and Installation

The BS ISO 11336-2:2020 standard outlines the necessary structural support requirements for glazed openings. It ensures that these components are securely and effectively integrated into the yacht's structure, providing guidance on:

• Methods of elastic bonding to bulkheads or shells
• Techniques for ensuring structural integrity
• Installation procedures that minimize risk and maximize performance

Testing for Weathertightness and Watertightness

One of the critical aspects of this standard is its focus on testing the weathertightness and watertightness of glazed openings. This ensures that the yacht remains safe and comfortable in all weather conditions. The standard includes:

• Testing protocols for assessing resistance to water ingress
• Methods for evaluating performance under various environmental conditions
• Criteria for certifying weathertight and watertight performance

Why Choose BS ISO 11336-2:2020?

For yacht designers, builders, and owners, adhering to the BS ISO 11336-2:2020 standard is crucial for several reasons:

• Safety: Ensures that glazed openings are robust and reliable, reducing the risk of failure.
• Durability: Promotes the use of high-quality materials and construction techniques that extend the lifespan of the yacht.
• Performance: Guarantees that the yacht can withstand harsh marine environments, maintaining comfort and safety for passengers.
• Compliance: Aligns with international standards, facilitating easier certification and acceptance in global markets.

Conclusion

The BS ISO 11336-2:2020 standard is an indispensable resource for anyone involved in the design, construction, or maintenance of large yachts. By providing clear guidelines and criteria for the strength, weathertightness, and watertightness of glazed openings, it ensures that yachts are built to the highest standards of safety and performance. Whether you are a yacht designer, builder, or owner, this standard is your key to achieving excellence in yacht construction.

BS ISO 11336-2:2020

This standard BS ISO 11336-2:2020 Large yachts. Strength, weathertightness and watertightness of glazed openings is classified in these ICS categories:

• 47.040 Seagoing vessels

This document specifies technical requirements for direct adhesive bonding of glazing materials into recesses forming part of the structure of the ship and into frames that are fastened to the structure of the ship.

It is applicable to large yachts as defined in ISO 11336-1.

This document is limited to the bonding of independent glazed openings, where the bonded joint is designed to withstand local loads (from external loads coming from weather and sea conditions, internal impact loads from accidental passenger or cargo shifting, wind suction and accelerations due to ship motions).

Bonding of glazed openings where the glazing material is subjected to loads from global ship motions (bending, shear force and torsion), which are considered as structural glazed openings, are outside the scope of this document. Quantitative identification of the global deflection is also outside the scope.

Additionally, this document is limited to bonding that exhibits elastic behaviour, and excludes rigid bonding and nonlinear elastic bonding.

The design of the bonding for the following installation types is outside the scope of this document:

1. fire protected areas;

2. glazed bulwarks;

3. underwater glazing;

4. pool glazing;

5. glazing for use in polar areas;

6. unstepped IGUs.
