This European Standard shall be given the status of
22、 a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by February 2004, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by February 2004. The Annexes A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are normative. This European Standard is one of a series con
23、sisting of three standards dealing with buoyant devices for swimming instructions for the various stages of the learning process. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria,

25、rolled Copy, (c) BSI EN 13138-3:2003 (E) 4 Introduction The entire process of learning to swim is considered to include three stages: ? getting familiar with the water environment and movements through it; ? acquiring skills in standard swimming strokes; ? developing special swimming strokes and tec
26、hniques. Buoyant devices for swimming instructions (in brief: swimming device(s) are intended to assist persons (in par- ticular children) to learn to swim. The design and purpose of the devices are related to the above stages. Swimming devices are intended to give the user positive buoyancy in the
27、water whilst maintaining the correct body position for swimming. However, it should not be assumed that standard conformity of the devices will by itself eliminate the risk of drowning as this depends also on the behaviour of the user and any supervision. Although this standard sets performance requ
28、irements to ensure that swimming devices perform appropriately, it is essential that the devices are used correctly and under constant and close supervision. It is important to ensure that they are securely fitted to the appropriate size of wearer and that when correctly fitted, they cannot become d
29、isplaced. Swim seats however shall allow immediate escape in case of capsizing. The use of these devices shall be restricted to water out of standing depth of the wearer. The highest degree of protection against drowning can only be achieved by using lifejackets. It is essential that there is a clea
30、r distinction between devices intended to preserve life and those which are intended only to assist buoyancy for the user when learning to swim. As swimming devices are not life preservers, they should only be used in swimming pools and other situations free from current, tides and waves. The bulk s
31、torage of some sorts of swimming devices could, under certain conditions, result in a potential fire hazard. The perceived risk of such a hazard was evaluated against the actual risk to the user from materials treated with certain known toxic fire retardant chemicals. However, the fire hazard is les
32、s of a problem to the user than the risk associated with the swimming devices being put in the mouth, especially by children. For this reason, flammability requirements are not included in the standard. For the above reasons and to differentiate these devices from aquatic toys, advisory safety measu
33、res, including marking, warning notices and user instructions are included in this standard. The range both of the design and function of swimming devices varies considerably and for this reason, the standard for swimming devices has been prepared in three parts, namely devices that are intended to
34、allow the wearer to become familiar with water (passive wearer), devices that are worn (active wearer) and those devices that are held by the user for special training purposes. Part 1 of the Standard is for devices that are worn or carried on the body (class B devices = for an active user). They ar
35、e intended to introduce the user to the range of swimming strokes. Part 2 of the Standard is for devices that are held either in the hands, by the body or between the legs (class C devices for an active user) and are intended to assist with improving specific elements of the swimming stroke. For adu
36、lt beginners or more advanced users they can also be used for further stages of the process to learn to swim. This Part 3 of the Standard deals with swim seats to assist children up to 36 month in their first attempts to learn to swim i.e. to get familiar with the “in-water-environment“ and moving t
37、hrough it. The child sits inside the swim seat, the seat provides buoyancy and lateral support to the body, thereby keeping the childs head above water level (class A devices = for a passive user). Swim seats allow young children to experience the water environment and being moved through it. Moveme
38、nts of lower limbs and arms are possible. The use of swim seats does however not replicate any form of a correct swimming stroke. Swim seats improve the in-water stability and minimise the entrapment risk in case of capsizing. Children in swim seats do however require very close parental supervision
39、. Overload, breaking waves and violent external forces are remaining risks which can cause capsizing. Shallow water is likely to hinder or block the escape from the seat in case of emergency.

40、N 13138-3:2003 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies safety requirements for design, sizing, materials, strength and in-water perform- ance as well as provisions for marking and the information supplied by the manufacturer for swim seats to be worn. It also specifies the relevant test metho
41、ds. This European Standard covers class A buoyancy devices in which children are seated. These devices are only intended for children aged up to 36 months with a body mass less than or equal to 18 kg. 2 Normative references This standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from ot
42、her publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this only when incorpo- rated in it by amendment or revision. For
43、undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies (including amendments). EN 71-1:1998, Safety of toys Part 1: Mechanical and physical properties.
