Floating leisure articles for use on and in the water - Part 4: Additional specific safety requirements and test methods for Class B devices
Also Known As:
The safety standards and testing procedures for floating recreational items intended for use on and in water are described in the DIN EN ISO 25649-4 standard. Class B devices, which are buoyant constructions that permit users to partially submerge themselves through one or more body openings, are subject to this standard.
The standard outlines specifications for materials, performance, safety, and consumer information. When used with EN ISO 25649-1 and EN ISO 25649-2, it is appropriate. These Class B devices can be made buoyant by inflating them or by using naturally buoyant materials.
Examples of typical Class B items given in the paper include floating rafts with inside body holding systems (also known as "swim seats"), child-sized constructions in the form of fantasy figures, floatings with apertures for the legs, and floating rings with interior seat segments. These gadgets are frequently employed in swimming pools, enclosed lakes and ponds, and enclosed seashore regions lacking strong offshore winds or currents.
