BS EN ISO 8665:1996 is a standard that pertains to small craft, specifically addressing marine propulsion engines and systems. The focus of this standard is on power measurements and declarations for these engines and systems. It aims to provide a standardized method for determining and declaring the power output of marine propulsion engines used in small craft, such as boats and yachts.
Here are the key aspects covered by this standard:
Objective: The primary objective of this standard is to establish a uniform and standardized procedure for measuring and declaring the power output of marine propulsion engines and systems installed in small craft.
The standard defines the scope of its application, specifying the types of engines and systems to which it applies and providing definitions of relevant terms.
Measurement Methods: It outlines the methods and procedures for measuring engine power output, including guidelines for test conditions, instrumentation, and data acquisition.
Declaration of Power: The standard provides instructions on how to declare the measured power output, ensuring that manufacturers and users have accurate and consistent information about the engine's performance.
Testing Conditions: It may specify testing conditions, including parameters like temperature, pressure, and humidity, to ensure that measurements are made under standardized and reproducible conditions.
Reporting: The standard may include guidelines for reporting the results of power measurements, including any necessary technical details.
Standardizing power measurements and declarations for marine propulsion engines and systems in small craft is essential for several reasons. It helps ensure that manufacturers provide accurate information about their products' performance, allowing consumers to make informed choices. Additionally, it facilitates compliance with regulatory requirements and industry standards.
