Introduction
The overriding property of Part-6-products is their enormous size and intended collective use.
Therefore, the majority of safety requirements concentrate on floating stability under full and single
sided load, collision of users, entrapment and entanglement issues as well as safety distances and
sufficient water depth in relation to jumping and potential falling heights provided by the various
“action modules”. Another issue is the assembly of these stand-alone modules to large and complex
activity courses. The assembly creates entrapment risks at the interfaces and needs to be assessed and
regulated under the aspect of closing those interfaces.
Consumer information related to safe use is an important supplement.
Class D devices are applicable to persons older than 36 months with the restriction of the capability
to swim. Class D devices are intended to be anchored in position or free floating. They are designed
for active use on the water surface. Characteristics for Class D devices are especially the active use.
Jumping, playing, climbing and any other related activity on the inflatable are part of the use.

4 Safety requirements and test methods
4.1 General
Construction of a floating leisure article Class D device shall be such that it corresponds in terms of
design, dimensions, safety, strength and durability for its intended use. The requirements set out in this
document were chosen to ensure compliance with these considerations. When floating leisure articles
provide buoyancy in several components, these requirements apply to all components. Inflatables shall
provide residual buoyancy if one air chamber fails. This residual buoyancy maintains the safety of the
device even if its function might be lost. The following safety requirements are therefore related to
— design,
— sizing,
— materials,
— strength,
— performance, and
— information.
General and common material related requirements and test method as specified in ISO 25649-1 and
ISO 25649-2 of this series of standards apply for Class D devices (inflatable or inherent buoyant).
ISO 25649-1 and ISO 25649-2 are applicable as general parts. In individual cases, due to the
unpredictability, valency and indeterminability of existing and future concrete products, a
corresponding choice shall be made by the test house.
4.2 Design of buckles and other fixings
4.2.1 Requirements
If buckles or other detachable fastening devices are used as components of Class D devices in order to
attach or connect functional parts or other components, they shall require at least two simultaneous
actions for their release or opening in order to prevent an unintended opening. When one of the two
sequences of buckle opening relies on pressure, it shall be necessary to apply a force of at least 100 N on
this release mechanism.
4.2.2 Testing
Verification shall be executed by the test panel. In case of a locking system based on pressure, the
testing shall be done in accordance with EN 13138-3:2014, Annex E.
4.3 Sizing and admissible number of users, maximum load capacity
4.3.1 General
If a specific size/body weight correlation between user and device is relevant, the marking shall be in
accordance with the range of body weights. The size/body weights of the user shall be indicated on the
product by completing the relevant boxes of the appropriate “Number of users, adult/children” and/or
“Maximum load capacity” as specified in ISO 25649-2.
Devices shall be marked according to their size and/or number of permitted users and maximum load
capacity as specified in ISO 25649-1 and ISO 25649-2.
Devices including dual or multiple use (e.g. jumping on a trampoline or lying rest) shall include markings
in accordance with ISO 25649-2 for all intended functions.

ISO 25649-6:2017(E)
4.3.2 Space per person per trampoline
4.3.2.1 Requirements
Class D products shall be labelled with regard to the intended posture — lying/sitting/standing and
relaxing or jumping (for multi-use bounce platforms or trampolines) of the user(s) and the maximum
permissible number of users recommended by the manufacturer.
The minimum space for a user in lying posture shall correspond to a flexible pattern (adult/child) the
dimensions of which are specified in ISO 25649-1:2017, A.1 and specified in ISO 25649-3:2017, 4.2.3.1.
The minimum space for a sitting user shall correspond to the template (adult/child) in accordance with
ISO 25649-1:2017, A.1.
For multi-use bounce platforms or trampolines, the maximum number of jumpers shall correlate
to the space available for each jumper. A 1,5 m jumping surface diameter is required per jumper.
Each increase of jumping surface by 1,5 m shall allow for an increase of one more jumper. The total
number of jumpers shall however not exceed three persons. The minimum space for a user in relaxing
position should correspond to a flexible pattern (adult/child) the dimensions of which are specified in
ISO 25649-1:2017, A.1. The minimum space for a sitting or lying user shall correspond to the template
(adult/child) as specified in ISO 25649-1:2017, A.1. The maximum permissible number of users shall be
recommended by the manufacturer.
In deviation to other specifications related to land based trampolines, a 1,5 m jumping circle diameter
per person can be accepted considering experience over a period of 10 years without accidents related
to this space per person and the fact that the trampolines in question shall meet a high level of fall
protection requirements (covering of rigid objects on the surface according to 4.5.13). In addition to
this, ISO 25649-6 deals with trampolines positioned on the water and thus allow jumps and falls into it
without those risks accompanied with land based devices.
The total amount of users determined by the template shall not contradict to the load capacity and
floating stability of the device.
4.3.2.2 Testing
Testing shall be done by applying the relevant lying/sitting templates as specified in ISO 25649-1:2017,
A.1. Templates shall be stretched out over the area available to the user without overlapping. Patterns
may be arrayed to optimize the amount of users without contradicting to the load capacity of the
device. Check for appropriate labelling in accordance with “Number of users, adult/children” and/or
“Maximum load capacity” as specified in ISO 25649-2.
4.4 Components
4.4.1 Valves and stoppers (special requirements for Class D)
Floating leisure articles Class D shall be fitted with non-return valves. Valves should meet the relevant
requirements set out in ISO 25649-1:2017, 5.9.
In deviation to ISO 25649-1, the protrusion of the valve and stopper shall not exceed 20 mm above the
surrounding surface when the device has been inflated. When accessible during intended use protruding
parts of valves shall be rounded and not create entanglement or entrapment (see ISO 25649-1:2017, 5.4).
When tested in accordance with 4.4.2 the inflatable device shall not suddenly collapse due to a loss of
sudden air pressure. Testing shall be in accordance with 4.4.2.
The valves shall be located in a safe place that does not obstruct the use of the products and so
positioned that it cannot easily be opened by any individual. If placement shall be in visible view and
