This part of ISO6185 is applicable to the following types of inflatable boats, intended for use within the operating temperatures of — 15°C to+60°C: — TypeV: Inflatable boats capable of taking a motor power rating of 4,5kW to 15kW inclusive; — TypeVI: Inflatable craft propelled by sail with a sail area greater than 6m2 (see normative annexA). NOTE For boats with power ratings of 4,5kW and less, refer ISO6185‑1, and for boats with power ratings of 15kW and greater, refer to ISO6185‑3. This part of ISO6185 excludes single-chambered boats and boats made from unsupported materials of more than 12kN buoyancy and powered by motors exceeding 4,5kW, and is not applicable to aquatic toys and inflatable liferafts.
