26、OUT PERMISSION FROM UL INTRODUCTION 1 Scope 1.1 These requirements cover wearable buoyant devices having: a) At least one compartment that relies upon ination by gas or other medium to provide buoyancy, and b) A quantity of inherently buoyant material. 1.2 The hybrid devices covered by this standard
27、 are intended for United States Coast Guard (USCG) approval under 46 CFR 160.077 as recreational use devices. 2 Units of Measurement 2.1 Values stated without parentheses are the requirement. Values in parentheses are explanatory or approximate information. 3 Undated References 3.1 Any undated refer
28、ence 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 Glossary 4.1 For the purpose of this standard the following denitions apply. 4.2 AUTOMATIC INFLATION SYSTEM A system that automatically inates
29、 one or more compartments when the buoyant device is submerged in the water, and operates independently of any action by the wearer. 4.3 BELT A device that wraps around the torso but does not cover the shoulders or arms in the deated condition. 4.4 CLOSURES a) Primary A means of securing the device
30、onto the body so that the device can be expected to function substantially in the intended manner without the use of any other means of fastening the device onto the body. b) Secondary A closure that: 1) If it is the only closure that is closed on the device, does not result in the device being donn
31、ed as intended; and 2) Is not usually required to be closed in order for the device to substantially comply with the requirements in this standard. 4.5 DESIGN PRESSURE RANGE The range of pressures, as specied by the manufacturer, to which a compartment may be inated to provide the intended in-water
32、performance. APRIL 20, 2007 HYBRID PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICES - UL 1517 6UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 4.6 FACE PLANE ANGLE The angle, relative to the surface of the water, of the plane formed by the most forward part of th
33、e forehead and chin of a wearer oating in the attitude of static balance in which respiration is least likely to be impeded. 4.7 FOAM Closed-cell foamed polymeric material. 4.8 FREEBOARD A distance measured perpendicularly from the surface of the water to the lowest point where the wearers respirati
34、on may be impeded. The freeboard of a test subject in the water is measured with the subject at FRC (see 4.9) and in the attitude of static balance in which respiration is least likely to be impeded. 4.9 FUNCTIONAL RESIDUAL CAPACITY (FRC) The amount of lung volume that a person has remaining at the
35、bottom of the normal breathing cycle when at rest. 4.10 FULL INFLATION A chamber inated to any value of pressure within the design pressure range. 4.11 INFLATABLE COMPARTMENT A container that is inated by a gas or other medium through an automatic, manual, or oral system. 4.12 INHERENT BUOYANCY That
36、 buoyancy provided by means that does not rely on an ination system; that is, the buoyancy provided by inherently buoyant material. 4.13 INSERT A quantity of inherently buoyant material that has been cut or formed for insertion into a device. 4.14 JACKET A device having sleeves. 4.15 LOCK STITCH A s
37、titch that will not unravel when a force is applied to any of the threads forming the stitch, such as the stitch designated as Type 301 in Federal Standard No. 751a (January 25, 1965). 4.16 MANUAL INFLATION SYSTEM A system that inates one or more compartments when a mechanism is actuated by a delibe
38、rate manual action on the part of the wearer, such as by the pulling of a lanyard. 4.17 ORAL INFLATION SYSTEM A system through which a wearer exhales air to inate a compartment. 4.18 PERFORMANCE TYPES The intended performance of a hybrid device, when fully inated, is classed as one of the following:
39、 a) Type II Turns most unconscious wearers from a face-down position in the water to a position in which the wearers respiration is not impeded. b) Type III Supports a conscious wearer in an upright position in the water, and has no tendency to turn a slightly back of vertical wearer (see Figure 16.
40、1) face-down in the water. 4.19 REFERENCE VEST An AK-1 PFD constructed in accordance with 46 CFR 160.047 except as follows: a) Each front insert has: 1) At least 8.25 ounces (234 g) of kapok; and APRIL 20, 2007 HYBRID PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICES - UL 1517 7UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR F
41、URTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 2) A total volume displacement in water that provides a buoyancy of 9.0 0.25 pounds- force (40 1 N). b) The back insert has: 1) At least 5.5 ounces (150 g) of kapok; and 2) A total volume displacement in water that provides a buoyancy of
42、 6.0 0.25 pounds- force (27 1 N). 4.20 SECOND-STAGE DONNING Donning or adjustment that is required, after the device is inated while being worn, to achieve the intended otation characteristics. 4.21 SERVICEABLE Exhibits no signs of functional deterioration (deformation of hardware, a rip or tear, a
43、loose seam, or the like) sufficient to make the device unacceptable for continued intended use. 4.22 STRUCTURAL SEAM A seam that serves a functional purpose, as distinguished from a decorative purpose. 4.23 TURNING TIME The time required for a device to turn a face-down wearer to a position in which
44、 the wearers respiration is not impeded. 4.24 UNIVERSAL SIZE A size of device constructed to t persons in the 5th through 95th percentile of the adult U. S. population with respect to height and girth. 4.25 VEST A device that covers the shoulders but has no sleeves. A yoke-style device is considered
45、 to be a vest. 5 Components and Materials 5.1 A component of a device covered by this standard shall (see Table 5.1): a) Comply with the requirements in the Standard for Components for Personal Flotation Devices, UL 1191, except as specied in Table 5.2; or b) If not covered by specic requirements in
46、 UL 1191, be acceptable when investigated with respect to the application. In addition, if the USCG has specic requirements for the component, it shall comply with those requirements.
