Small craft — Backfire flame control for petrol engines
Small craft — Backfire flame control for petrol engines
ISO 13592:1998 is an international standard focused on backfire flame control for petrol engines used in small craft. Developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), this standard specifies minimum requirements for the design, construction, testing, and marking of engines and devices intended to prevent the propagation of backfire flames from inboard petrol engines to the surrounding atmosphere. It applies to small craft with hull lengths up to and including 24 meters.
The standard ensures enhanced safety on small craft by controlling and mitigating backfire flame risks, which can lead to dangerous fires or explosions if not properly managed. ISO 13592:1998 provides the technical criteria to verify that flame arresters and backfire prevention devices operate reliably under various conditions.

ISO 13592:1998 is vital for:
Adhering to ISO 13592 helps reduce risks associated with backfire flames, minimizing onboard fire hazards and protecting crew, passengers, and assets.
ISO 9227:1990 - Corrosion tests in artificial atmospheres - Salt spray tests. This normative reference is integrated within ISO 13592 for evaluating the corrosion resistance of flame arresters and engine components.
Other ISO standards related to small craft, marine engine safety, and combustion engine emissions may complement ISO 13592 in ensuring overall marine vessel safety and environmental compliance.
By implementing ISO 13592:1998 compliant backfire flame control systems, the marine industry enhances inboard petrol engine safety, contributing to safer navigation and operation of small craft worldwide.
