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

Introduction
This part of ISO 15027 has been prepared to meet the needs of persons engaged in certain activities on
or near water. Abandonment suits manufactured and maintained according to this part of ISO 15027
will provide protection from cold shock and delay the onset of hypothermia.
The complete immersion system (suit and clothes worn under the suit) should be able to keep the user
alive long enough for the rescue services to find and recover them. An individual's estimated thermal
protection time will depend on water temperature and wave state as well as their physiology. Detailed
in this part of ISO 15027 are the minimum recommended insulation levels and the associated water
temperatures in which they are to be used.
This part of ISO 15027 is intended to serve as a minimum performance requirement for manufacturers,
purchasers and users of such safety equipment and seeks to ensure that the equipment provides
effective performance in use. The abandonment suit should not jeopardize safety by causing undue
discomfort which could result in a degradation of performance.
The abandonment suit shall have no features which will be likely to have any detrimental effect on
the operation of other life-saving equipment that may be used. In particular, any part of the suit which
might pose a snagging hazard shall be suitably covered, protected or restrained.
The primary aims in wearing an abandonment suit are:
a) to reduce the risk of cold shock and delay the onset of hypothermia;
b) to enable the user to propel himself in the water and extricate himself from the water without it
becoming an encumbrance;
c) to make the user sufficiently conspicuous in the water so as to aid his recovery.
Many circumstances may alter the performance of the suit, such as wave action or the wearing
of additional equipment. Users, owners and employers should ensure that equipment is correctly
maintained according to the manufacturer's instructions.
An abandonment suit may often be worn with a lifejacket as it will provide extra flotation and may help
to bring a user to a face-up position.
