1.1This specification covers the design, construction, and installation of intermediate portable flush deck stanchions. Intermediate stanchion is defined as any stanchion that is not an end or corner stanchion.

1.2Stanchions shall be used on interior and exterior decks, to provide temporary protection to minimize the danger of personnel falling overboard or to a lower level in the ship in areas where the installation of a fixed system would interfere with vessel operations.

1.3Stanchions may be used with ³/₈-in. (9.5-mm) galvanized close link chain or wire rope lifelines ⁹/₁₆-in. (14-mm) top course, ⁷/₁₆-in. (11-mm) lower courses.

1.4This specification covers only the stanchions and does not cover requirements for the chain or wire rope lines to be supported by the stanchion.

1.5The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

1.6This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
