1 Modification to clause 5.2 to 5.4
Delete the subclauses 5.2 to 5.4 and replace them by the following and modify the numbering accordingly:
"5.2 Body entrapment
5.2.1 General
Floating leisure articles shall not have accessible design features that may cause body entrapment. This
requirement is deemed to be met if the following requirements are met and the specified test procedures
prove that body entrapment does not occur.
Design features i.e. gaps, openings, slots etc. are categorised in design types A to E as shown in informative
annexe A. They include features providing fixed interior spaces and such with flexible interior
components/spaces and thus variable dimensions. Design features likely to cause entrapment may be
arranged in the plane but also in 3-dimensional structures providing considerable height as e.g. ladder
structures, labyrinths or body enclosing structures. Testing has to be accordingly.
5.2.1.1 Accessibility
Design features accessible to the test person in any stable floating position the product can take on the water.
5.2.1.2 Product categorisation regarding age group and body weight of user/test persons/torso
templates
Products shall be labelled with regard to their intended user groups according to EN 15649-2. With regard to
body entrapment floating leisure articles are to be distinguished in two sizes only: child use and adult use:
Child use includes age group 3 to 10 years of age/body weight 18 to 45 kg respectively.
Products for combined child /adult use or adult use only include all others. According to these user groups the
relevant foot and torso probes or the test persons shall be applied for testing.
5.2.1.3 Probes

Test subject representing the child of 10 years of age: test subject No. 4 according to Table 2.
Test subject representing the adult: test subject No. 1 according to Table 2.
5.2.2 Requirements on body entrapment
When tested in accordance with 5.2.3 all design features of a floating leisure article as e.g. gaps, openings,
slots etc. which allow the initial ingress of the foot probe according to 5.2.1.3.1 shall prove that they
subsequently allow the free passage of the either the appropriate (see 5.2.1.2) test probe (adult / child)
according to 5.2.1.3.2 or the relevant test subject according to 5.2.1.3.3.
For design feature likely to cause body entrapment see categorisation of types of openings in annex B.

EN 15649-1:2009+A1:2012/prA2:2012 (E)
5.2.3 Test procedure
In general testing shall be performed with the probes (child /adult) as specified in 5.2.1.3 which is In cases
where the design features likely to cause entrapment allow a simple dimensional check i.e. a pass or not-pass
assessment of the template(s). The appropriate test probe shall be applied vertically and pushed into the gaps
openings etc. with a force of 100 N.
In special cases where body entrapment depends on the flexibility of body enclosing components or where the
arrangement of such hazardous design features is too complicated for a simple dimensional check testing
shall be done by the appropriate test subject. The procedure shall be an in-water test and shall include access
to the hazardous feature in any stable floating position the product can take. Subject tests shall include the
following sub sequences:
a) appropriate test person is intentionally getting access into the potential entrapment design feature with
the intent to pass through;
b) head first access, feet first access;
c) it shall be checked whether the process of intentionally and actively accessing the feature of entrapment
turns itself into a passive release of the test person's body from the device.
5.2.4 Depths of gaps and openings
Openings, gaps, slots etc. are considered as not causing body entrapment if they have a restriction in depth
which prevents the user from getting too deep into it. This depth shall not allow an entry of the foot probe
according to 5.2.1.3.1 of more than 30 cm for products intended for adult use only and not more as 20 cm for
products intended for child use or combined adult and child use.
5.2.5 Method of measuring
a) the foot probe is put into the potential entrapment design feature in any direction but not more than at an
angle from vertical to 45°. The force applied to the foot probe is max.100 N.
b) When the probe is blocked the depth of entry from the first contact point to the depth, which is reached
after the application of 100 N shall be measured along the virtual line of entry.
5.3 Torso entrapment on safety line with regard to children
5.3.1 Requirements
The child torso probe as shown in Figure 4 shall pass through the opening between safety line and the hull of
the device at any position under the force of its own weight.
5.3.2 Test method
Put probe for torso entrapment horizontally into the gap between safety line and hull of the inflated structure.
Check whether the probe becomes trapped.
