    Hi,I can't find what's the minimum coaming (hope I'm using the correct english name) height in the cockpit required by ISO standard.
    Can anyone suggest a minimum or a formula?

    I'm pretty sure it's 600mm. You should double check that in the standard, my memory fades from time to time.

    Cheers

    May be I finally found the Iso part I was looking for:
    ISO 15085
    6.2 requirements for non sailing crafts.
    Table 3.

    If I'm not wrong for category B L< 8.5 mt (my case) man overboard can be prevented with a low gard line of 450 mm.
    600 is for Lh>8.5 mt.
    Can anyone confirm this?
