This document (EN 1
33、5649-3) is applicable with EN 15649-1 and EN 15649-2. NOTE 1 Typical products forming Class A: “Floating Islands“ in near round or square shaped forms decorated with palm tree, sun shade, etc. high superstruc-ture; large floats/rafts in various forms from round to square; large floating tubes, giant
34、 tubes (inflatable or inherently buoyant); floating arm chairs, seats and sun beds; air mattresses for use on the water; !deleted text“ recreational rafts / floating platforms / pontoons. NOTE 2 Typical places for application: pools; protected areas of lakes, ponds; protected area sea shore (no offs
35、hore winds, no currents). 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated refer-ences, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

41、h have a specific weight less than fresh water NOTE Inflatables made from inherent buoyant material are considered a buoyant structure (hull) achieving all or parts of its intended shape and buoyancy resulting from soft foam, hard foam or sealed chambers filled with air, gas or granules. 4 Safety re
42、quirements and test methods 4.1 General Construction of a floating leisure article shall be such that it corresponds in terms of design, dimensions, safety, strength and durability for its intended use. The requirements set out in this standard were chosen to ensure compliance with these considerati
43、ons. If inflatable floating leisure articles shall provide buoyancy in several components then requirements apply to all components. Floating leisure articles shall provide residual buoyancy if one air chamber fails. This residual buoyancy shall maintain the safety of the device even if its function
44、 is lost. The following safety requirements are therefore related to: design; sizing; materials; strength; performance; 1 In accordance with intended use. BS EN 15649-3:2009+A1:2012EN 15649-3:2009+A1:2012 (E) 9 information. In individual cases, due to the unpredictability, valency and indeterminabil
45、ity of existing and future concrete products, a corresponding choice shall be made by the test house. !Design and appearance of floating leisure articles shall not change the intended primary function of these floating leisure articles nor introduce a toy play value.“ 4.2 Design, sizing, admissible
46、number of users and maximum load capacity 4.2.1 General Devices shall be marked according to their size and / or number of permitted users and maximum load capac-ity. 4.2.2 Sizing 4.2.2.1 Requirements If a specific size/body weight correlation between user and device is relevant, the marking shall b

The size/body weights of the user shall be indicated on the product by completing the relevant boxes of the appropriate safety information symbol “Users body weight range“ as specified in EN 15649-2. 4.2.2.2 Test method Check for correct marking and c
48、ompletion. 4.2.3 A1-products, space per person and admissible number of users 4.2.3.1 Requirements A1-products shall be labelled with regard to the intended posture lying/sitting of the user(s) and the maxi-mum permissible number of users.

The minimum space for a sitting user shall correspond to the template (adult/child) as specified in !EN 15649-1:2009+A1:2012“, A.1.2. In cases of combined use (sitting and lying), the template for a lying person shall be applied to determine the available area.
