!". This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association. This European Standard is one of a series consisting of seven standards dealing with floating leisure articles for use on and in the water.
Compliance of a product to this standard requires that the requirements of the relevant specific part and,
additionally, the requirements of EN 15649-1 and EN 15649-2 have to be met. If a product includes multiple use related to several classes, it has to meet the requirements of all these classes. Annex A is normative. SIST EN 15649-1:2010+A1:2012
Until now, standardisation has addressed the risks through a wide series of standards aiming at the protection against drowning and covering a number of products used in leisure activities on and in the water. There are standards covering the relevant products for activities like playing in the water, water sports, boating, diving, learning to swim and even the emergency devices as buoyancy aids and live jackets. Beyond these typical and traditional activities and products, there is a new tendency for the creation and marketing of more and more new products. They are all aiming to increase pleasure and entertainment on the water but also more speed, action and thrill as far as the new adventurous activities as "tubing", "white water rafting" etc. is con-cerned. The new products are partly modified traditional core products or they are derived from them and fur-ther developed to something new. Additionally, there is a clear trend to bring more and more formerly land based playground equipment on the water. The term "amphibiation" is justified as in many cases the original function of the product is maintained, i.e. they can be used both ways. Typical examples for the first men-tioned kind of new products are modifications of inflatable boats into a bathing raft in fantasy shape or the fur-ther development of the earlier swim-ring into a flotation seat. Examples for "amphibians" exist in inflatable trampolines, climbing installations being put on the water for action and fun. Inflatable floating armchairs and sun loungers including the mini bar and sun shade rather serve for more comfort and relaxation when bathing. This trend is clear and very likely to continue. It can be shown that the nature of these new products provide an equal or even higher risk potential than the original core products. In parallel, the number of these products override the number of the core products. In cases of collective use, the frequency of use is considerably increased which in turn increases the likelihood of accidents — drownings. Drowning is the final risk of the mentioned product related activities, there are other somewhat lesser evils — partial risks — which are likely to happen too independently or in combination with the final risk. Having in mind the existing safety related standardisation, an evident discrepancy emerges. Standardisation in the past was focused on the core products and has neglected the huge amount of products forming the so called "grey zone". We always were aware of this fact, but the "grey zone" was so disturbingly complicated and never really considered and investigated. The triggering incident to change this was the swim seat case, its interaction with aquatic toys and all the many related products mentioned above. The fact of negligence highlights the reason. It was due to this inconsistency, variety and complexity that these products were usually excluded from the scopes of related standards. Experts involved in this standardisation work therefore in-vented the term "grey zone products". A systematic risk analysis or an investigation in drowning accidents was never made. What matters today is not so much the fact of a disturbing gap in the series of existing standards but the knowledge that there is a number of coincidences: all in all the main user groups of these products are children and adolescents who in turn are the main victims of drowning; the main areas where drowning happens are identical with the areas of use for such products (rivers, lakes, pools, bathing beaches); SIST EN 15649-1:2010+A1:2012
setting of clear boundaries between the product areas in order to avoid incorrect certification (e.g. unjusti-fied CE-Mark), "standard jumping" including escape from tougher standards into weaker ones, contribut-ing to overcome the problems of an extremely wide and vague definition of aquatic toys in the toy direc-tive (88/378/EEC) and the distinction of shallow and deep water as dividing criterion; avoidance of individually established testing procedures by the various test houses in the absence of a unified technical rule. 0.3 Risks and need for prevention Relevance of drowning is proven (age groups, places, partly product involvement); new products increase frequency of use and amount of products likely to contribute to accident; theoretical risk analysis shows additional risks below the final risk of drowning; plausibility and likelihood of harm to users is evident, so is the probability of adequate safety standards to avoid or minimise this; to contribute positively to the basic problem of parental supervision which is needed and claimed with re-gard to child activities but in many cases weak, not existing or neglected; safety by utmost inherent safety by design from the product in addition to this technical safety shall be supplemented through supervision it is recommended for younger children; we have to recognise that there are new trends to bring more and more former land based products on the water, as well as trends to adventure activities increasing the thrill of water related leisure activities and entertainment; need for prevention.
