Content Description

ISO 10303-216:2003 specifies the scope and information requirements for the exchange of ship moulded form definitions, geometric representations, and related hydrostatic properties.

The following are within the scope of ISO 10303-216:2003:

• definition of moulded form geometry related to commercial and naval ships;
• definition of moulded form geometry of the preliminary design, detailed design, and production stages of the life cycle of a ship;
• definition of moulded form geometry that describe the hull moulded form of the ship, including mono hullforms, multi-hullforms, the bulbous bow, transom stern, thruster tunnels, and additional appendages;
• definition of moulded form geometry that describe the moulded form of propellers and rudders;
• definition of moulded geometry that describe the moulded form of decks including camber and sheer;
• definition of moulded geometry of internal ship compartment boundaries and the moulded form geometry of ship structural and non-structural elements;
• definition of general characteristics;
• definition of design parameters for the ship hull, bulbous bow, propeller, rudder, and appendages that are necessary to describe the moulded form, and are required to calculate hydrostatic properties;
• definition of hydrostatic properties of the ship moulded form that depend on the draught of the ship;
• definition of global and local co-ordinate systems and spacing tables used in naval architecture for position purposes;
• shape definition of ship moulded forms that use one of the following specified types of geometric representation:
• geometric representations containing geometric elements used in naval architecture;
• version control and approval of moulded forms and related hydrostatics.

The following are outside the scope of ISO 10303-216:2003:

• product definition data related to hull plating defined on the moulded form;
• product definition data related to ship compartmentation and ship arrangements;
• product definition data related to ship structures and ship assemblies;
• product definition data related to ship machinery and ship superstructures;
• mechanical systems and material aspects of propellers, rudders and control surfaces;
• product definition data from the decommissioning stage of the ship life cycle;
• hydromechanic properties of the ship;
• damage stability properties of ships;
• ship longitudinal strength.

About ISO

ISO, the International Organization for Standardization, brings global experts together to agree on the best way of doing things – for anything from making a product to managing a process. As one of the oldest non-governmental international organizations, ISO has enabled trade and cooperation between people and companies all over the world since 1946. The International Standards published by ISO serve to make lives easier, safer and better.
