Diving Equipment - Snorkels - Requirements and Test Methods
Also Known As:
Snorkels, as well as their specifications and testing procedures, are the main topics of the diving equipment DIN EN 1972 standard. Its main objective is to encourage snorkeling among swimmers and divers while also ensuring their safety. The specification covers snorkels that let people breathe while floating face down on the water's surface.
Snorkels used by a variety of people, including swimmers, skin divers, and SCUBA divers, are covered by the standard's scope. It attempts to develop safety standards to guarantee the dependability and performance of snorkels.
It's vital to remember that the standard excludes integrated face masks and snorkels that open with the snorkel tube. This shows that the standard places a special emphasis on individual snorkels as opposed to face masks.
