This document specifies additional specific safety requirements and test methods for Class B floating leisure articles for use on and in the water regardless whether the buoyancy is achieved by inflation or inherent buoyant material.
This document is applicable for Class B floating leisure articles as specified in ISO 25649-1:2024, Table 1.
Class B devices provide a buoyant structure with one or more body openings into which the user is positioned partly immersed.
NOTE 1 Typical products in Class B (see Annex B):
— floating rafts with interior body holding system (“swim seats”) mostly in circular or square shape, fantasy shape for playing purposes;
— floating fantasy shaped structures with one or more openings to host a child’s body, with or without body holding system;
— floating with slits or openings to put legs through any shape;
— floating rings with interior seat segments inside the circular body opening.
NOTE 2 Typical places for application:
— pools;
— protected areas of lakes, ponds;
— protected areas of sea shore (no offshore winds, no currents).
NOTE: If the word "harmonized" (marked in green) is not found in the field with the name of the directive, it means that the European standard is not cited in the OJEU.
