ISO 8848 discusses standards for remote mechanical steering systems for small craft. ISO 8848 specifies design, construction, installation, and test requirements for remote mechanical cable steering systems and the output ram interface point to rudders, jet drives, outboard, and sterndrive engines for small craft.
ISO 8848 is applicable to three distinct classes of steering systems for use on various types of craft:
Note: ISO 8848 does not address emergency means for steering the craft.
ISO 8848 on remote mechanical steering systems for small craft is applicable to these entities:
ISO 8848 provides you with the steering system requirements for the steering wheel, cables, steering systems, steering mechanism used on the steering systems of the craft.
The guidelines provided in ISO 8848 helps you to design, construct, install and test the remote mechanical cable steering system. The steering mechanism that is intended in ISO 8848 assists you to eliminate overloading of
the steering cable.
You can manufacture a remote mechanical steering system that is safe to use, following the quality guidelines provided in ISO 8848. You will also lengthen the lifespan of your small craft with ISO 8848 guidelines. This can also ensure the prevention of waste.
By adopting ISO 8848, you can build effective small craft and have the quality assurance to ensure that small crafts are produced according to the requirement and build trust in their use throughout the ship and marine supply chain.
