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.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

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.

ISO 1704 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 8, Ships and marine technology, Subcommittee SC 4, Outfitting and deck machinery.

This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 1704:1991) which has been technically revised as follows.

— Tolerances on the nominal diameter of the links remain the same, but tolerances on other parts of the links have been appropriately adjusted.
— Lengths andtolerances of the combined links have been increased.
— The allowable manufacturing tolerance of all other dimensions has been increased.
— The nominal diameter of a common stud link is shown by d and the diameter of other links, shackles and swivels given as multiples of d.
— The swivel type and a series of its dimensions have been added for the convenience of the user. The patented swivel or the swivel with a particular function can be used as a substitute if this is possible in harmony with this International Standard.
