A standard called AS 4758.3:2015 describes how to test lifejackets. It includes buoyancy categories for life jackets with levels 275, 150, 100, 50, 50 S, 25, and limited usage. Lifejackets designed for both adult and child use must adhere to the standard.

This standard's objective is to develop dependable and consistent test methods for assessing the effectiveness and safety of lifejackets. Manufacturers can make sure that their lifejackets comply with the relevant standards, offer the anticipated buoyancy, and offer protection in water by following the test procedures outlined in this standard.

The standard specifies the test requirements for lifejacket components like buoyancy, attachment mechanisms, closures, and materials. It outlines the testing tools and processes to assess aspects like buoyancy performance, attachment strength, and material sturdiness.
