Marine (Yacht, Ship & Boat) Pipe Identification Tapes ( 5 pages)

Offshore and Marine – Tapes and Signage 

Offshore and Marine installations are today comprehensively regulated by The International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO). Increasingly seen as the leading standard setter for identification pipeline and safety signage, the new standards are as follows:

1) ISO 14726:2014 - Identification colours for the content of Piping Systems

In 2014, the equivalent British Standard, BS1710 for onshore pipeline identification ceased to cover the marine environment, leaving ISO 14726 as the leading standard.

2) ISO 24409-2:2014 for Safety Signage

In December 2017, the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) passed resolution A.1116(30) to implement ISO 24409-2 for escape route signage and equipment location for all new vessels from 1 January 2019. Similar IMO and ISO signage may co-exist on existing marine installations and ships. However, this begins the move towards ISO regulation for all marine and offshore safety signage.
