Full title and description

ISO 10087:2022 — Small craft — Craft identification — Coding system. This International Standard specifies a standardized coding system and permanent craft identification number for small craft (hull length up to 24 m) to enable unambiguous identification and traceability from manufacture through marketing and service.

Abstract

ISO 10087:2022 establishes the structure and marking requirements of a craft identification number that encodes: the country code of the manufacturer, the manufacturer identification code, a unique serial number, month and year of manufacture, and the model year. The standard is applicable to small craft of all types and materials with a hull length (LH) up to 24 m.

Scope

Specifies a craft identification coding system for permanent marking of small craft (hull length up to 24 m). The coding system covers identification of the manufacturer country, manufacturer, a unique serial identifier, month and year of manufacture and the model year; it defines composition, marking requirements and recommended placement of the craft identification number.

Key topics and requirements

• Structure of the craft identification number: fixed-length code components encoding country, manufacturer identifier, serial number, month/year of manufacture and model year.
• Permanent marking requirements: format (a 14-character sequence plus separators as specified), legibility, durability and recommended placement on the hull.
• Use of ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes for the manufacturer country element.
• Requirements to ensure unique, unambiguous identification and traceability through the craft’s lifecycle.

Typical use and users

Manufacturers of small craft, importers, hull builders, classification societies, national regulators, dealers and service organisations use this standard to assign and verify permanent identification numbers during manufacture and registration, and to support traceability, warranty and safety recalls. Industry bodies and national standards bodies that adopt ISO 10087 for regional or national use also reference it in certification and registration processes.

Related standards

ISO 10087:2022 supersedes earlier editions (including ISO 10087:2019 and prior). National and regional adoptions exist (for example EN ISO / national transpositions) that may include additional national forewords or extended pagination. The standard is produced by ISO/TC 188 (Small craft) and is sometimes paired with other small craft standards covering dimensions, safety, and hull marking.
