The European Standard specifies safety requirements for construction, performance, sizing and marking for swimming aids intended to assist users with movement through the water whilst learning to swim or whilst learning part of a swimming stroke. It also gives methods of test for verification of these requirements.
This European Standard, Part 1, applies to devices that are designed to be worn or are carried on the body and which have either inherent buoyancy or can be inflated. It includes Class B devices intended to introduce the wearer to the range of swimming strokes. It does not apply to buoyancy aids, lifejackets or aquatic toys.
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.
