Overview
EN ISO 10087:2022 - Small craft - Craft identification - Coding system defines a standardized coding system for uniquely identifying small craft (recreational boats and similar watercraft) with a hull length up to 24 m. The standard specifies the composition, format and minimum marking requirements for a permanent craft identification number (watercraft identification number) so that each vessel can be traced to its country and manufacturer, and linked to manufacture and model-year information.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and applicability
- Applies to small craft of all types and materials with hull length (LH) up to 24 m.
- Code composition
- A craft identification number consists of 14 consecutive characters plus one hyphen (no spaces, slashes or additional dashes).
- Structure (in order): country code (ISO 3166-1 alpha‑2), 3‑character manufacturer identification, 5‑character serial number, and 4 characters encoding month of manufacture, year of manufacture (last numeral) and model year.
- Character rules
- Only capital Latin letters and numerals where allowed.
- Manufacturer ID: numerals/letters but not numerals 0 or 1.
- Serial number: numerals/letters but not letters I, O or Q (to avoid confusion).
- Month/year coding
- Month is coded A–L (A = January … L = December).
- Year of manufacture is expressed by the last numeral of the production year.
- Model year is a two‑character element that denotes the 12‑month marketing period; the manufacturer determines the model year.
- Marking requirements
- Characters must be permanent (carved, stamped, moulded, etc.) so alteration or removal is obvious.
- Minimum character height: 6 mm.
- Additional clauses
- The standard addresses location of marking, duplicate numbers, time of marking, display format and related guidance.
Applications and who uses it
- Manufacturers and assemblers: assign manufacturer identification and serials; mark craft at build/assembly.
- National authorities and recognized organizations: issue or validate manufacturer codes and manage registration databases.
- Dealers, importers, surveyors and registries: verify identification for registration, compliance, resale and post‑construction assessment.
- Regulatory compliance: provides a voluntary means to meet identification requirements of EU Directive 2013/53/EU (see Annex ZA in the EN text).
