ISO 11591-2 Object Avoidance Line Test

Professional testing checklist for marine vessel object avoidance systems

Launch Test Checklist

About This Test Checklist

The ISO 11591-2 Object Avoidance Line Test Checklist is a professional tool designed for testing and documenting compliance with ISO 11591-2 standards for small craft helmsman's field of vision. This free checklist helps yacht builders, marine surveyors, and naval architects conduct thorough avoidance line testing to ensure safe navigation visibility.

Comprehensive Test Protocol

Step-by-step checklist covering all required test points and measurements for ISO 11591-2 compliance verification.

Documentation Ready

Generate professional test reports with all required data points for CE certification and regulatory submission.

Visual Reference Guide

Clear instructions and reference points for conducting object avoidance line measurements on various vessel types.

Compliance Verification

Built-in pass/fail criteria to verify that helmsman's field of vision meets ISO 11591-2 requirements.

Important Notice

This checklist provides a systematic approach to ISO 11591-2 testing. Actual testing must be conducted by qualified personnel under appropriate conditions. Professional verification and certification must be performed by authorized marine surveyors or Notified Bodies.

ISO 11591-2 Standard

ISO 11591-2 specifies requirements for the helmsman's field of vision on small craft to ensure safe navigation. The standard defines the avoidance line - an imaginary line from the helmsman's eye position to the water surface - which must be clear of obstructions.

Key Test Requirements:
  • Helmsman eye position determination (seated and standing)
  • Forward visibility assessment through windows and windscreens
  • Avoidance line angle measurements from helmsman's position
  • Obstruction identification and documentation
  • Visibility arc measurements (horizontal field of vision)
  • Window transparency and clarity verification
  • Wiper coverage assessment for clear vision areas
  • Night vision considerations and lighting effects

Who Should Use This Checklist?

Yacht Builders

Verify helmsman visibility during design and construction phases. Document compliance for CE certification packages.

Naval Architects

Assess visibility requirements during vessel design. Specify wheelhouse layouts and window configurations that meet standards.

Marine Surveyors

Conduct systematic ISO 11591-2 compliance testing during surveys. Generate professional test documentation and reports.

CE Certification Bodies

Use standardized checklist for consistent assessment of helmsman's field of vision across different vessel types.
