This revision of ANSI/UL 1517 dated October 28, 2021 is being issued to update the title page to reflect the most recent designation as a Reaffirmed American National Standard (ANS).

These requirements cover wearable buoyant devices having: a)At least one compartment that relies upon inflation by gas or other medium to provide buoyancy, and b)A quantity of inherently buoyant material.
