General Information

Overview
ISO 4143:1981 is an international standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that specifies requirements for open rowing lifeboats used on inland vessels. This standard focuses on lifeboats carried by vessels not covered under the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS, 1974), addressing the unique operational conditions of inland navigation.
The standard outlines the types, main characteristics, design criteria, construction materials, equipment, and testing procedures for open rowing lifeboats. It is intended to ensure safety, reliability, and functionality of lifeboats in inland waterways where wave and weather conditions differ from open seas.
Key Topics
Scope and Application: ISO 4143 applies to open rowing lifeboats designed for inland vessels where SOLAS requirements do not apply. It covers types of hull materials, design parameters, buoyancy, stability, strength, equipment, and marking.
Definitions and Classifications:
- Standard open rowing lifeboat: A boat designed to rescue crew and passengers, meeting buoyancy, stability, strength, and equipment requirements.
- Hull materials: Classified as wood, metal, or plastic.
- Maximum useful load: Total mass of persons and equipment permissible in the lifeboat.
- Cubic capacity: Internal volume calculated for capacity and stability assessments.
Design Requirements:
- Buoyancy provided through watertight air cases or buoyant materials resistant to corrosion and oils.
- Stability ensured by specified minimum freeboard and resistance to heeling (listed in a heeling moment table based on capacity).
- Strength requirements ensure safe lowering and handling with maximum load.
- Materials must be approved by competent authorities and include anti-corrosive coatings for metal boats.
- Painted gunwales and lifelines with floats are mandatory safety features.
Equipment Specifications:
A detailed list of mandatory onboard equipment ensures the lifeboat is fully operational and compliant with safety regulations. This includes:- Full complement of oars plus spares
- Rowlocks and spares
- Boat-hook, baler, bucket
- Painter (rope), signal lamps, flares, boat cover, drain plugs, rudder with accessories
- Most equipment must be securely fastened within the lifeboat
Testing and Marking:
Lifeboats undergo a rigorous series of post-manufacture tests including measurements, freeboard verification, hull structural integrity, watertightness, stability, insubmersibility, air-case watertightness, and lifting device strength.
Boats made from plastic undergo additional impact and strength tests.
Markings must identify the shipowner, vessel name, manufacturer, and boat designation with corrosion-resistant plaques and permanent inscriptions.
Applications
ISO 4143:1981 primarily applies to shipbuilders, designers, and manufacturers of inland vessel lifeboats to ensure compliance with recognized safety standards. It is essential for:
- Shipyards and boat manufacturers specializing in inland navigation lifeboats.
- Regulatory authorities and competent bodies responsible for inland waterway vessel safety inspections and certifications.
- Operators of inland vessels who require standardized lifeboats that meet safety, stability, and operational guidelines for emergency evacuation.
- Safety auditors and maritime inspectors verifying compliance of inland vessels with national and international safety standards.
By following ISO 4143, inland vessels not falling under SOLAS zones can maintain consistent lifeboat safety, improving crew and passenger survivability in emergencies.
Related Standards
- International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), 1974 – Applies to ocean-going vessels with different lifeboat requirements.
- ISO/TC 8 - Shipbuilding Technical Committee – Responsible for developing shipbuilding-related ISO standards, including lifeboat standards for various vessel types.
- National inland navigation safety regulations – Often incorporate or reference ISO 4143 for lifeboat compliance on inland waterways.
Keywords: ISO 4143, open rowing lifeboats, inland vessels, lifeboat design, lifeboat equipment, lifeboat stability, lifeboat buoyancy, shipbuilding standards, inland navigation safety, lifeboat testing, maritime safety standards.

Foreword
ISO (the international Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of
national Standards institutes (ISO member bedies). The work of developing Inter-
national Standards is carried out through ISO technical committees. Every member
body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been set up 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.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to
the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by
the ISO Council.
International Standard ISO 4143 was developed by Technical Committee ISO/TC 8,
Sh@bui/ding, and was circulated to the member bodies in November 1977.
