The objective of this Standard is to provide designers, manufacturers, boat builders and regulators with safety requirements for small boats.
This Standard is part of a series, which includes the following:
AS/NZS
3004 Electrical installations—Marinas and boats
3004.1 Part 1: Marinas
3004.2 Part 2: Boat installations (this Standard)
In the preparation of this Standard reference was made to the following:
(a) IEC 60092-507: Ed.1.0 (2000), Electrical installations in ships, Part 507: Pleasure craft.
(b) ISO 10133, Small craft—Electrical systems—Extra-low-voltage d.c. installations.
(c) ISO 13297, Small craft—Electrical systems—Alternating current installations.
(d) American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) Standards and Technical Information Reports for Small Craft:
(i) A-28, Galvanic isolators.
(ii) A-32, AC power conversion equipment and systems.
(iii) E-11, AC and DC electrical systems on boats.
(iv) S-31, Environmental considerations for systems and components installed onboard boats.
and acknowledgement is made of the assistance received therefrom.
Compliance with this Standard may be required by legislation, from a date to be set by the relevant regulating authority.
If work on an installation was commenced before publication of this edition, permission can be granted by the relevant regulatory authority or electricity distributor for the installation to be completed under AS/NZS 3004:2008.
It is not the intention of this Standard to limit the introduction and use of emerging technologies. However, designers are reminded that it is essential that the basic tenets of electrical and marine safety be addressed before any other equipment and installation design elements are considered.
Any requirements that may be applicable in Australia only or New Zealand only are indicated in the text and by a symbol in the right margin as follows:
‘In Australia............’
‘In New Zealand............’
Statements expressed in mandatory terms in footnotes to Tables are deemed to be requirements of this Standard.
The terms ‘normative’ and ‘informative’ have been used in this Standard to define the application of the appendix to which they apply. A ‘normative’ appendix is an integral part of a Standard, whereas an ‘informative’ appendix is for information and guidance only.
