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

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 25649-1:2017), which has been
technically revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— The Introduction, clauses 0.1 and 0.4 are updated;
— The dated references in Clause 2 - Normative references and in the entire document are updated;
— Sub-clause 4.1 - Table 1: Deletion of the exclusion a) in the classification for "Not an Aquatic toys" Eb)
— Addition of the new sub-clause 4.2, "Test methods for measurement", for device with or without

Introduction
0.1 Motives, problems, risk assessment, methods
Investigations in statistical data related to drowning accidents and near-drownings create a new
awareness about the enormous relevance of drownings in many countries.
In particular, during childhood drowning is among the 10 leading causes of death of children and young
people in every region of the world. Due to a lack of exactness of the available statistical data, they do
not reveal details concerning the relation between drowning accidents and the involvement of certain
products. Such links can be shown only for segments of the wide range of water activities related
products. Consumer protection needs to rely on conclusions by risk analysis, experience and analogy
to known cases. Considerations based on probability and the precautionary principle is the second
access to the problem. That applies in particular for the product group “Floating leisure articles for use
on and in the water” as this group is constituted here and now as a market segment to be addressed
by standardization for safety reasons. Beyond the statistical deficiencies, relations between certain
products and an increased risk of drowning are plausible. A risk analysis (See Tables 1), shows, in parts
3 to 7 of the series, what the partial and final risks are.
Until now, standardization 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 concerned. The new products are partly modified
traditional core products or they are derived from them and further 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 mentioned kind of new
products are modifications of inflatable boats into a bathing raft in fantasy shape or the further
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 standardization, an evident discrepancy emerges.
Standardization 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 standardization work therefore invented 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 ther
...
