5 Requirements
5.1 Size
The characters shall be at least 6 mm high.
5.2 Permanency of marking
Each craft identification number shall be carved, burned, stamped, embossed, moulded, or otherwise permanently affixed, so that alteration, removal, or replacement will be obvious. If the number is on a separate plate, the plate shall be fastened in such a manner that its removal would normally cause some scarring of or damage to the surrounding hull area.
5.3 Location
5.3.1 The identification number shall be visible on the starboard outboard side of the transom, or near the stern within 50 mm of the transom top, gunwale, hull/deck joint or its capping, whichever is lowest.
5.3.2 On craft with a transom, the identification number shall be located on the starboard side of the transom.
5.3.3 On craft without a transom or with a transom on which it is impractical to locate the identification number, it shall be affixed within 300 mm of the stern.
5.3.4 On catamarans, the identification number shall be located as follows:
a) hulls structurally permanently connected: on the starboard hull;
b) hulls detachable but regarded as the primary structure: on both hulls;
c) hulls readily removable and/or replaceable: on the aft cross-beam within 300 mm of the starboard hull; this also applies to catamaran-type pontoon boats.
5.3.5 On trimarans, the identification number shall be located on the centre hull, in accordance with
5.3.1 or 5.3.2.
5.3.6 On inflatable boats, the identification number shall be affixed on the rigid aft cross-beam or motor bracket within 300 mm of the starboard hull attachment. If the identification number is not readily visible due to the construction of the boat, it may be applied additionally to some other suitable structure of the boat, such as the console assembly.
5.3.7 Rails, fittings or other accessories shall not obscure the identification number located as specified above. If the design of the craft would result in this, the identification number shall be located as near as possible to the required location to be visible.
5.4 Duplicate identification number
A duplicate identification number shall be affixed to a non-removable part of the craft in a location only known by the manufacturer. The duplicate identification number shall be located in the interior or beneath a fitting or item of hardware. Catamarans shall have this identification number in or on both hulls. The identification number should be located so that it is extremely difficult to reach and modify.
5.5 Time of marking
The identification number shall be affixed to the craft during the construction or assembly of the craft.
In no case shall the craft be put on the market without it being affixed.
5.6 Display format
The identification number shall be displayed in alphanumerical characters (Arabic numerals and uppercase letters) and shall read from left to right.
6 Additional information
If additional information is displayed on the craft within 50 mm of the identification number, it shall be separated by means of borders or it shall be on a separate label so that it will not be interpreted as part of the identification number.ISO 10087 pdf download.ISO 10087 pdf download
