What is ISO 14895 - Small craft about?
ISO 14895 is an international standard on small craft that discusses the criteria for the workability of liquid-fuelled galley stoves and heating appliances on small craft. ISO 14895 specifies the design, construction, and installation of permanently installed galley stoves and heating appliances using fuels that are liquid at atmospheric pressure on small craft up to 24 m lengths of the hull (LH according to ISO 8666). ISO 14895 includes open flame galley stoves, ceramic hobs, blown air heaters, and water heating appliances.
Cooking and heating appliances solely designed or intended as portable self-contained camping stoves or heaters are not covered. Other permanently installed cooking and heating appliances (such as solid fuelled and liquid-fuelled natural draft stoves) are outside the scope of ISO 14895 and therefore covered by ISO 9094.

What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN ISO 14895:2016 supersedes BS EN ISO 14895:2003 which is withdrawn.
The revision covers the following main changes:
- Widening the scope to include heating appliances; subsequently, requirements applicable to heaters and stoves are combined or differentiated by the type of appliance
- The above scope extension required a modification of general, installation and requirements for design and construction of appliances
- A new clause on design and construction of heating appliances, as well as an annex on the information on heaters required for the craft owner’s manual
- References to ISO 7840, ISO 13297, and ISO 21487 have also been added.
