Abstract |
This standard, approved as American national standard ANSI Z243.1-1972 on 22 Dec. 1972, covers buoyant devices such as life vests and jackets, horse shoe and ring buoys, with or without lifelines, the buoyancy of which is provided by inherently buoyant material and is not dependent upon special materials, gas compartments or inflation. The requirements relate to construction (design, material, etc.) and particularly performance testing (flotation stability, buoyancy distribution, effective buoyancy, water retention, resistance to impact, tensile strength, resistance to high and low temperatures and to flame, etc.). A final section deals with markings. |
