DIN EN ISO 12402-9/A1:2011-07

DIN EN ISO 12402-9 specifies test methods for personal flotation devices. Amendment A1 to DIN EN ISO 12402-9:2006-12 contains amended specifications for the test methods for personal flotation devices. In addition to a table in which the sequence of the mechanical tests is explained, a test for buoyancy behaviour has been supplemented and additional explanatory illustrations for reference vests for adults (Annex B) have been incorporated. Furthermore, editorial modifications have been made in order to harmonize the text of all 10 parts of DIN EN ISO 12402. The EN ISO 12402 standard series has been prepared by CEN/TC 162 "Protective clothing including hand and arm protection and lifejackets" (secretariat: DIN), in collaboration with ISO/TC 188 "Small craft". The Committee responsible for this standard is NA 112-04-04 AA "Wasserrettungs- und Sicherheitsmittel" ("Lifesaving in water and safety equipment") at DIN.
