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
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions related to conformity
assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical
Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: Foreword - Supplementary information.
The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 8, Ships and marine technology, Subcommittee
SC 8, Ship design.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 6042:1998), which has been

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 6042:2015(E)
Ships and marine technology — Weathertight single-leaf
steel doors
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the main dimensions, materials, quality and conditions of
manufacture for weathertight single-leaf steel doors for application on board ships, in order to ensure
interchangeability of the steel doors. The remaining dimensions, welding, and other details are left to
the manufacturer.
These doors generally conform to the requirements of the International Convention on Load Lines
1966 (ICLL66). The possibility for application of the doors to position 1 and position 2 has to be
considered for each situation and, where necessary, the doors shall be provided with additional
stiffening (see also Table 1).
Users of this International Standard should note that while observing the requirements of this
International Standard they should, at the same time, ensure compliance with such statutory
requirements, rules, and regulations as may be applicable to the individual ship concerned.
