Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following

Introduction
The safe use of floating leisure articles depends not only on the safety and reliability of the products
in use but also on the adequate knowledge of the consumer/user about the risks related to water
activities. The right information when selecting floating leisure articles is a further important aspect.
Which device can be given to which user? What is the adequate area of use? What performance can be
expected from the product, what are the limitations? What is the adequate behaviour on the water?
In particular, children need special supervision and care. Even if the products dealt with in this series
of standards are only intended for use by swimmers that does not at all eliminate the well-known risks
which cannot technically be avoided because they depend more on behaviour than on performance.
This document deals therefore in particular with all aspects to inform the consumer/user before and
during use about major risks and appropriate behaviour.
Since floating leisure articles are products that are traded world-wide, the issue of language and
comprehensibility of explanations and information play an important role. Within the EU, consumer
information has already to cope with 25 different languages. Therefore, wherever possible and
where available supplementary safety information symbols and general safety signs may be used to
communicate important and safety information for the user.
