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
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.

6.4 Position of graphical symbols
6.4.1 General requirements of supplementary safety information symbol and safety sign
position
Supplementary safety information symbols expressing warnings shall be arrayed in a separate group
and shall be visible during use of the product.
Graphical symbols or other means of consumer information are deemed visible during use if they
are positioned on the top or sides of the product that are above the water surface during use and can
therefore be seen when the product is placed in/on the water for intended use. This includes visibility
during setup and/or boarding of the product.
For those floating leisure articles providing more than one position of use (e.g. air mattresses), the
graphical symbols or other means of consumer information shall be placed on the intended upper side
of use. Provided the supplementary safety information symbol and safety sign are visible during use,
they may be placed on a label or on any similar support (tag, etc.) attached to the article that shall not
be lost during foreseeable use.
This group of supplementary safety information symbol and safety sign should be arranged as shown
in Annex A.
The supplementary safety information symbol shall be placed below or beside the safety sign. Examples
are given in Figure A.1, Figure A.2 and Figure A.3.
Figure 4 and Figure 20 shall be placed separately on the product. An example is given in Figure A.4 and
Figure A.5.
6.4.2 Specific requirements of supplementary safety information symbols & safety signs
The supplementary safety information symbols related to prohibition, Figures 7 and 9, may be placed
on one side of the array, see Figure A.1 Annex A.
Supplementary safety information symbols related to mandatory instruction Figure 18, 24 and 27, may
be placed on one side of the array, see Figure A.3 Annex A.

Colour of safety signs (see 6.2) shall be in accordance with ISO 3864-2:2016. The supplementary safety
information symbols shall be in black and white or in a good contrast, ensuring visibility and legibility
of the signs.
Supplementary safety information symbols and safety sign for foam products may be embossed.
