BS EN ISO 6185-3:2018 ISO 6185‑3:2014
e) the valves cannot be damaged or torn off by lines, safety ropes or movable components of the boat construction or by normal movements of the passengers and load;
f) the valves are equipped with a cap that can independently seal the valve and that the cap is connected to the valve in a secure manner that prevents it from being accidentally lost;
g) a controlled reduction in buoyancy chamber pressure and of measuring that pressure is possible. 6.4.2 Deflation
Deflation of the hull and tubes shall be by manual operation, either by using the inflation valve or by using a separate device.
Where separate devices are fitted then these shall be made of corrosion-resistant materials and shall not be capable of damaging the boat material. The design and location of such devices shall meet the requirements of 6.4.1 a) to g) inclusive.
The deflation of any one compartment shall not cause a loss of air from any of the remaining compartments.
6.5 Rowlocks and oars
6.5.1 Requirements The provision of rowlocks and oars is not mandatory. If they are provided as standard or optional equipment, they shall meet the requirements, given in 6.5.2 to 6.5.5.
6.5.2 Abrasion damage
The bearing surfaces of the oars and rowlocks shall be free from any roughness likely to cause wear. All external surfaces of the rowlock shall be smooth and free from sharp edges and corners likely to cause damage when the boat is packed.
6.5.3 Prevention from loosening
Rowlocks shall be secured against unintended loosening. Means shall be provided for the storage of two oars or paddles. 6.5.4 Strength of rowlocks
6.5.4.1 Requirement
There shall be no structural failure of the rowlock or associated fittings when tested as described in 6.5.4.2. 6.5.4.2 Test method
Any cordage used for test purposes shall have a diameter of 8mm. Load the rowing fitting, including the rowlock, with a force of 500N for 1min in any horizontal direction. 6.5.5 Use of the rowlocks and oars
When tested as described in 8.5, there shall be no structural failures or permanent deformation of any component during the test and it shall be clearly demonstrated that the rowlock system is rigid enough for efficient rowing.
A minimum unrestricted movement of the oars shall be 60° ahead and 60° astern. 10
