Abstract
This document specifies additional specific safety requirements and test methods for Class E floating leisure articles for use on and in the water regardless whether the buoyancy is achieved by inflation or inherent buoyant material.
This document is applicable for Class E floating leisure articles as specified in ISO 25649-1:2024, Table 1.
Class E devices are inflatable boats of a buoyancy of less than 1 800 N with a hull length of more than 1,2 m and less than 2,5 m.
Class E devices are intended for use in bathing areas or in protected and safe shore zones.
NOTE 1 Typical products forming Class E (see Annex F):
— inflatable boats for rowing or paddling of near oval shape with or without transom;
— canoes and kayaks;
— inflatable boats made from plastic sheets or from reinforced materials;
— motor kit/sail kit as additional option.
NOTE 2 Typical applications of Class E devices:
— moving from one place to another for pleasure purposes;
— staying on the water for relaxing;
— moving from shore to the main boat, transportation of persons and load (tender boat).
