This European Standard is one of a series consisting of seven standards dealing with floating leisure articles for use on and in the water.
Compliance of a product to this standard requires that the requirements of the relevant specific part and, addi-tionally, the requirements of EN 15649-1 and EN 15649-2 have to be met. If a product includes multiple use related to several classes it has to meet the requirements of all these classes. Annex A and Annex B are normative. Annex C to Annex F are informative.

Class E devices are intended for use in bathing areas or in protected and safe shore zones.
NOTE 1 Typical products forming class E:  inflatable boats for rowing or paddling of near oval shape with or without transom;  canoes and kayaks;  inflatable boats made from plastic sheets or from reinforced materials;  motor kit/sail kit as additional option. NOTE 2 Typical places for application of Class E devices:  moving from A to B for pleasure purposes;  staying on the water for relaxing;  moving from shore to the main water craft, transportation of persons and load (tender boat). 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated refer-ences, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 15649-1:2009, Floating leisure articles for use on and in the water — Part 1: Classification, materials, general requirements and test methods EN 15649-2, Floating leisure articles for use on and in the water — Part 2: Consumer information EN ISO 8665, Small craft — Marine propulsion reciprocating internal combustion engines — Power meas-urements and declarations (ISO 8665:2006) 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 15649-1:2009 and the following ap-ply. 3.1 residual buoyancy provision of remaining buoyancy in case of a defect of any buoyancy chamber 3.2 inflatable boat buoyant structure (hull), achieving all or part of its intended shape and buoyancy by the medium of inflation and intended for the transportation of persons on the water; its design and shape give it the capability to with-stand forces and movements arising from various sea conditions SIST EN 15649-7:2010

NOTE They do not have the purpose of a working boat. 3.5 inherent buoyant material non-crosslinked (closed-cell) foam or other materials enclosed in (a) sealed compartment(s) in the hull which less than fresh water NOTE Boat made from inherent buoyant material is a buoyant structure (hull) achieving all or parts of its intended shape and buoyancy from soft foam, hard foam or sealed chambers filled with air, gas or granules. 3.6 inboard area internal surface area defined by a vertical plane tangential to the innermost side of the buoyancy tube and perpendicular to the deck 3.7 inboard length length of the cockpit, including the area below any spray cover, measured along the boat centreline between the innermost points of the bow and stern 3.8 usable seating area inboard area, including the area below any spray cover, available for the users to sit on 3.9 permissible rated load maximum loading of the boat by persons, propelling means and other items SIST EN 15649-7:2010

5.2.1 Requirements The materials and the method of construction used in the construction of a boat shall be compatible with that of the hull itself. Any load-bearing fittings attached to the boat shall not result in any impairment in air tightness or water integrity, when loaded as described in 5.2.2. 5.2.2 Test method Load-bearing fittings shall be loaded in any direction up to breaking point, but not exceeding 1 kN for leisure boats and 2 kN for tender boats (see 3.3). If maximum load is reached, this load shall be maintained for 1 min. Any cordage used for test purposes shall have a diameter of 8 mm. SIST EN 15649-7:2010

Rowlocks and oars 5.4.1 Requirements 5.4.1.1 General The provision of paddles, rowlocks and oars is not mandatory. The assembly system oar/rowlock shall comply with the requirements given in 5.4.1.2 to 5.4.1.5. 5.4.1.2 Abrasion damage The bearing surfaces of the oars and rowlocks shall be free from any roughness likely to cause excessive wear. All external surfaces of the rowlocks shall be smooth and free from sharp edges and corners. 5.4.1.3 Securing against loss Rowlocks shall be secured against unintended loosening. Means shall be provided for safe location of at least two oars or paddles when stowed away. 5.4.1.4 Strength of rowlocks There shall be no structural failure of the rowlocks and/or associated fittings when tested in accordance with 5.4.2.2. 5.4.1.5 Strength and performance of rowlocks and oars When tested in accordance with 7.4, there shall be no structural failure or permanent deformation of any com-ponent during the test and it shall be clearly demonstrated that the rowlock system is sufficiently rigid for effi-cient rowing. A minimum unrestricted movement of the oars 60° ahead and 60° astern shall be enabled. 5.4.2 Test methods 5.4.2.1 Abrasion damage and prevention of loosening Visual inspection and performance testing.
