20、tates Coast Guard (USCG). 1.2 The buoyant cushions covered by these requirements are intended for USCG approval under 46 CFR 160.048 or 160.049. 1.3 These requirements do not cover buoyant cushions that employ entrapped air as the prime buoyant means. 2 Units of Measurement 2.1 Values stated without
21、 parentheses are the requirement. Values in parentheses are explanatory or approximate information. 3 Undated References 3.1 Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in the requirements of this standard shall be interpreted as referring to the latest edition of that code or standard. 4

23、 component in the product covered by this standard, or b) Is superseded by a requirement in this standard. 4.3 A component shall be used in accordance with its rating established for the intended conditions of use. 4.4 Specic components are incomplete in construction features or restricted in perfor
24、mance capabilities. Such components are intended for use only under limited conditions, such as certain temperatures not exceeding specied limits, and shall be used only under those specic conditions. 4.5 A component used in a device covered by this standard shall comply with the applicable requirem

27、e water without the necessity for constant use of either hand. 5.3 A device shall not incorporate means obviously intended for fastening or securing the device to a boat, nor shall instructions accompanying the device indicate such intent. Exception: A Type IV buoyant cushion may be provided with ho
28、ok and pile fastener tapes, or the equivalent, on the cushions bottom surface when the cushion complies with the requirements specied in the Release Test, Section 16, and is marked in accordance with 21.7. 5.4 A device shall be constructed to reduce the likelihood of shifting or bunching of internal
29、 materials. 6 Glossary 6.1 For the purpose of this Standard, the following denitions apply. 6.2 BAR TACK A type of stitching sewn in a zig-zag pattern that is at least 3/32 inch (2.4 mm) wide, 5/8 inches (15.9 mm) long, and 18 stitches of a lock type stitch, such as Type 301, Federal Standard 751. 6
30、.3 DEVICE Any buoyant cushion. 6.4 FOAM Closed-cell foamed polymeric material. 6.5 GROUP APPROVAL A single approval granted by the USCG for buoyant cushions using foam, kapok, or brous glass otation materials; and that are in accordance with all of the applicable established dimensions and specicati
31、ons of this standard. 6.6 INSERT A quantity of buoyant material that has been cut or formed for insertion into a device. 6.7 JOINING SEAM A seam that serves a functional purpose in the end product as distinguished from a decorative function. 6.8 LOCK TYPE STITCH A stitch that will not unravel when a
32、 force is applied in the direction of the seam on any of the threads forming the stitch. 6.9 SCRAP FOAM Material obtained from production remnants. 6.10 SEAM A joint consisting of a sequence or series of stitches uniting two or more pieces of material. 6.11 SPECIAL APPROVAL A single approval granted
