Introduction
Standard Overview and Technical Background
SC/T 8169-2018 is an important technical standard in the field of fishing vessel safety in my country. It proposes systematic specifications for the installation of throwable inflatable life rafts on fishing vessels. The standard was proposed by the Fisheries Administration of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and is under the jurisdiction of the National Technical Committee for Fishing Vessel Standardization. It reflects the evolution of my country's fishing equipment safety technology.
Definition of core terms
| Terms | Definition | Technical parameters |
|---|---|---|
| Life raft rack | Special device for storing life raft | Load bearing ≥ total mass of life raft × 1.5 |
| Lashing system | Fixing device composed of wire rope, shackle, etc. | Wire diameter ≥ 6mm |
| Hydrostatic pressure releaser | Automatic release device | In accordance with GB/T 23299 |
Key Technical Requirements
1. Installation Location Specifications
The standard clearly requires that the life raft should be installed in an easily accessible location such as the both sides of the driving deck or the top deck of the cab, and there should be no obstacles within a 1.5-meter radius around it to ensure that it can be quickly released in an emergency.
2. Mechanical fixing system
Typical installation case: A certain ocean-going fishing vessel uses a rotating shaft raft frame, with a support contact surface width of 60mm and a rubber pad thickness of 6mm. After testing, it remains stable in sea conditions of level 8.
Comparison of implementation points
| Items | Requirements of this standard | Comparison with international standards |
|---|---|---|
| Diameter of tying steel wire | ≥6mm | IMO requirement≥5mm |
| Thickness of rubber pad | ≥5mm | No specific provisions for SOLAS |
| Length of release rope | 1.4-1.6m | Consistent with LSA rules |
Analysis of acceptance standards
The standard stipulates a three-level acceptance process: Document inspection→Location verification→Installation inspection. The key points include:
- Check the validity of the CCS certificate for life rafts
- Measure the width of the support contact surface (≥50mm)
- Verify the connection strength of the breakable ring (≥2.2kN)
Technical evolution analysis
Compared with the 2009 version, the 2018 version has the following major improvements:
- Added the installation specification for disposable hydrostatic pressure releasers
- Refined the anti-corrosion requirements for the lashing system
- Supplemented the positioning standard for the reinforcement of the storage tube
