BS EN ISO 25649-7:2024

This document specifies additional specific safety requirements and test methods for ClassE 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 ClassE floating leisure articles as specified in ISO25649-1:2024, Table1. ClassE devices are inflatable boats of a buoyancy of less than 1800N with a hull length of more than 1,2m and less than 2,5m. ClassE devices are intended for use in bathing areas or in protected and safe shore zones. NOTE1 Typical products forming ClassE (see AnnexF): — 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. NOTE2 Typical applications of ClassE 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).
