The requirements set out in this standard were chosen to ensure compliance with these considerations. If inflatable floating leisure articles shall provide buoyancy in several components then requirements apply to all components. Floating leisure articles shall provide residual buoyancy if one air chamber fails. This residual buoyancy shall maintain the safety of the device even if its function is lost. The following safety requirements are therefore related to: design; sizing; materials; strength; performance;
