The Small Craft Standards Bulletin, put out by ICOMIA, the International Council of Marine Industry Associations, the international trade association representing the global marine industry, provides industry stakeholders early notification on world-wide changes to existing standards and modifications to production methods.
These are as developed and maintained by the ISO (International Organization for Standards) Technical Committee for Small Craft Standards.
The first edition explains how ISO standards are developed and provides an update of standards due to be published, under review or in the early phase of development.
The ICOMIA Small Craft Standards Bulletin is issued biannually and available to download, for free, from the ICOMIA Online Library.
