Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a
worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member
bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally
carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body
Interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee.
International organizations, govern• mental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all
matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees
are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
Inter• national Standard requires approval by at least 75% of the
member bodies casting a vote.
International Standard ISO 3903 was prepared by Technical Committee
Iso/TC 8, Shipbuilding and marine structures, Sub-Committee SC 8,
Windows and side scuttles.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first
edition
(ISO 3903:1977), of which it constitutes a technical
revision.
Annexes A and B form an integral part of this International
Standard.

5.5 Glazing Mounting position B

5.5.1 Glazing materlal When, In special cases, an obscured toughened

An appropriate glazing material, resistant to sea
water and ultraviolet light, shall be used.
5.5.2 Mounting of glass
pane
When glazing, It ls essential that the glass pane
is centrallzed In the glassholder or in the main
frame so that there Is the same clearance all
round.
The necessity of using speclal packings for the
mounting of special glass panes for rectangular
windows for fire-resistant constructions (serles P)
or heated windows (serles H) depends on the con•
struction of the glassholder, and on the composition
and edge protection (If any) of these glass panes.
5.5.3 Pecullarity for obscured glass
panes
Mounting position A
In general, obscured glass panes are positioned
with the obscured surface facing outwards. For this
positioning, the glass thicknesses given in table 5
apply. It shall be noted, however, that the glass
pane becomes transparent when wet.
safety glass pane Is positioned with the obscured
surface facing inwards, a greater glass thickness
than that specified in table 5 shall be used.
These greater thicknesses shall be as glven In
table 10.
5.6 Fasteners (closing devices and hinges)
5.6.1 Number of
fasteners
a) The minimum number of fasteners comprising
closing devices and hinges with round holes for
glassholders of type E and F opening
rectangular windows shall be as given in table 4.
b) The total number of the fasteners and their
con• structlon shall be such that the window
meets the strength and watertightness
requirements In clause 7.
NOTE5 If the hole for the hinge of the glassholder is
oval, the hinge is not regarded as a fastener.

a) At least two closing devices (for example
screw-In bolts or swIngbolts with nuts) shall be
provided.
b) In the case of outwards-opening windows, an
approprlate screw-locking device shall be pro•
vlded to ensure that, when open, the closing de•
vice does not strike the glass pane.
c) If a closing device is composed of a swingbolt,
swingbolt nut and swingbolt hinge pin, these
component parts shall have main dimensions as
given In table 11.
5.6.3
Hinges
The number of hinges (at least two) depends on the
kind of window (type, model, size and constructlon).
For all kinds of opening rectangular windows, It Is
recommended to use hinge pins with a diameter In
accordance with table 11.
