Standards and Technical Information Reports (STIR) for Small Craft

ABYC develops safety standards for the design, construction, equipage, maintenance, and repair of small craft and their systems. The development of uniform standards is the basis for industry-wide comparisons of products and performance. As a result of strong industry support, ABYC's standards program is a viable alternative to further development of mandatory government regulation of the marine industry.

In lawsuits involving product liability, ABYC standards are a reliable and authoritative reference for evaluation issues of design, construction, maintenance, and product performance.

ABYC’s Standards and Technical Information Reports for Small Craft are available to ABYC members online under the Members Only tab via WebSTIR or on a CD-Rom or a Manual by going to ABYC's Ship Store tab. (Non-members can also purchase the Standards at the Ship’s Store).
