Overview
ISO 7825:2017 - Shipbuilding - Deck machinery - General requirements provides the common technical and safety characteristics that apply to all types of deck machinery not fully covered by specific product standards. Applicable to ships in all navigation zones, this second edition (2017) updates environmental, material, drum and surface-protection requirements and supersedes ISO 7825:1985. Key uses include design, manufacture, installation, inspection and maintenance of anchoring, mooring, hoisting and hatch‑cover equipment.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and applicability: Common requirements for all deck machinery on ships in all navigation zones.
- Environmental conditions: Designed to operate between −25 °C and +45 °C; resist damp conditions, salt mist, mould, vibration, inclination and sea/wind loads. Specified ship inclination allowances (heeling ±15°, rolling ±22.5°, trimming ±5°, pitching ±7.5°).
- Material and construction: Carbon content limits for welded castings and forgings (e.g., ≤0.23% for welded carbon steels; higher limits for non‑welded castings subject to approval). Welding procedures per ISO 15607; asbestos prohibited.
- Drums and spooling: Minimum flange diameter tied to rope diameter/length; spooling rules require overlapping layers, and specified clearances (e.g., 1.5× cable diameter for steel, 1.0× for synthetic where no spooling gear).
- Operation & safety: Requirements for control ergonomics and forces - lever travel limits (max 600 mm one‑way or 300 mm each side), pedal travel (≤250 mm) and maximum operator efforts (e.g., brake lever ≤160 N, handwheel forces for continuous/short operation). Push‑button control conventions, permanent operational markings and guards for external gears and hot surfaces (>50 °C).
- Inspection & lubrication: Accessible inspection points for gears, bearings and brakes; lubrication nipples per ISO 7824, accessible level checks and drainage; lubrication effective up to 15° inclination.
- Surface protection: Surface preparation to ISO 8501-1 grades (Sa2½ or St3 as applicable) and agreed coating thicknesses.
- Hydraulic & electrical: Hydraulic systems per ISO 4413; shipboard electrical per IEC 60092; minimum weather‑deck electrical protection IP56 (IEC 60529).
- Markings: Permanent product and manufacturer identification and designation according to product standard.
Applications and users

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
