Lifejackets manufact
33、ured and maintained to this standard will give a reasonable assurance of safety from drowning to a person who, for whatever reason, is no longer capable of helping himself fully. It is not intended to replace the standard agreed by the International Maritime Organization, or those specified for use
34、in aircraft by the Federal Aviation Authority, the Civil Aviation Authority, and other aviation regulatory bodies, rather to apply to those people who would not be required to comply with those standards. This standard allows for the buoyancy of a lifejacket to be provided by a wide variety of mater
35、ials, some of which may require preparation before entering the water (e.g. inflation of chambers by gas from a cylinder or blown in orally). However, this broad group of buoyant devices is divided into two main types, those which require the user to initiate the buoyancy provision (whether by oral
36、or gas inflation), and those which provide full buoyancy without any user intervention (i.e. those with inherently buoyant materials, or inflated by a fully automatic method), as well as combinations thereof. Automatically-operated lifejackets are those suited to persons likely to enter the water un
37、expectedly, whereas manually-operated lifejackets should only be used if it is certain that the wearer will have sufficient time to produce full buoyancy. In every circumstance, the user should ensure that the correct operation of the lifejacket is suited to the specific application. The compliance
38、of a lifejacket with this standard does not imply that it is suitable for all circumstances. The requirement for regular maintenance is another factor of paramount importance in the choice and application of specific lifejackets. This standard is intended to serve as a guide to manufacturers, purcha
39、sers and users of such safety equipment in ensuring that the equipment provides an effective standard of performance in use. Equally essential is the need for the designer to encourage the wearing of the equipment by making it comfortable and attractive for continuous wear on or near water, rather t
40、han for it to be stowed in a locker for emergency use. The primary aims in wearing a lifejacket are: a) to support the wearer in reasonable safety in the water, particularly if that person is unable to swim, is exhausted, injured, or otherwise incapacitated. In the case of automatically-operated lif
41、ejackets, to perform in this way without any intervention on the part of the wearer, except in initially donning the lifejacket; b) to enable the wearer to propel himself in the water without it being an encumbrance; c) to support the wearer, enabling his efforts to be expended in recovery rather th
42、an in remaining afloat; d) to assist the recovery of the wearer. A lifejacket should provide a sufficient degree of buoyancy in a garment which is light in weight, not unnecessarily bulky, and allows freedom of movement. It should be secure in wear, providing positive support in the water, allowing
43、the wearer to swim or actively assist himself or others. The amount of buoyancy specified, and its distribution, should ensure that the wearer is supported with his mouth and nose clear of the water, and at a correct attitude with the trunk inclined backwards. Certain circumstances may alter this pe
44、rformance, such as waves, or the wearing of garments which provide (intentionally or otherwise) additional buoyancy, such as immersion suits. Users, owners and employers should ensure that any additional garments or equipment to be worn in conjunction with the lifejacket do not impair its performanc
45、e. Similarly, certain lifejackets may not perform as well in extremes of temperature, although fully approved under this standard. Lifejackets may also be affected by other conditions of use, such as chemical exposure and welding, and may require additional protection to meet the specific requiremen
46、ts. If the user intends taking a lifejacket into such conditions, then he should satisfy himself that it will not be adversely affected. The standard also allows the lifejacket to be an integral part of a safety harness designed to comply with the European Standard. Lifejackets may also be made an i
47、ntegral part of a more substantial garment, for example to provide thermal protection during immersion, in which case the complete assembly as worn is required to comply with this standard. In compiling the standards required of a lifejacket, consideration has also been given to the potential length
48、 of service which the user might expect. Whilst a lifejacket which complies with the specification should be of substantial construction and material, its potential length of service depends mainly on the conditions of use and storage which are the responsibility of the owner, user and/or employer.
49、Furthermore, whilst the performance tests included are believed to assess relevant aspects of performance in real life use, they are not intended to be accurate simulations of it. For example, the fact that a device passes the self-righting tests described herein does not guarantee that it will self-right an unconscious user wearing waterproof clothing.
