Buoyant Aids for Swimming Instruction - Part 2: Safety Requirements and Test Methods for Buoyant Aids to be Held
Also Known As:
The safety standards and testing procedures for buoyant aids that are meant to be held in the hands or by the body are the main topics of this standard, DIN EN 13138-2. It details the specifications for various swimming gadgets' construction, function, sizing, and branding. These tools are designed to support users as they learn to swim, get more comfortable in the water, or master particular swimming stroke components.
This standard covers Class C devices, such as kickboards and pull/kickboards. These swimming aids can either have built-in buoyancy or be inflated, and they are intended to help with swimming. The standard specifies how to assess whether or not these aids adhere to the necessary safety standards.
It is significant to note that other types of buoyant aids, such as pull buoys, swim rings, lifebuoys, buoyancy aids, life jackets, or aquatic toys, are not covered by this standard. The emphasis is on buoyant aids that are used for swimming teaching that are held on the body or in the hand.
