Description (English):

ISO 25649-3:2017 is applicable for CLASS A classified floating leisure articles for use on and in water according to ISO 25649‑1 regardless whether the buoyancy is achieved by inflation or inherent buoyant material. ISO 25649-3:2017 is to be applied with ISO 25649‑1 and ISO 25649‑2. NOTE 1 Typical products forming Class A (see Annex A): - "Floating Islands" in near round or square shaped forms decorated with palm tree, sun shade, etc. high superstructure; - large floats/rafts in various forms from round to square; - large floating tubes, giant tubes (inflatable or inherently buoyant); - floating arm chairs, seats and sun beds; - air mattresses for use on the water; - recreational rafts/floating platforms/pontoons. NOTE 2 Typical places for application: - pools; - protected areas of lakes, ponds; - protected area sea shore (no offshore winds, no currents).

Abstract

Overview

ISO 25649-3:2017 - Floating leisure articles for use on and in the water - Part 3: Additional specific safety requirements and test methods for Class A devices - sets additional safety, performance and testing requirements for large recreational floating products. It applies to Class A floating leisure articles (inflatable or inherently buoyant) - for example floating islands, large rafts, giant tubes, air mattresses, sun beds and pontoons - intended for pools and protected lake or sea shore areas.

Key topics and technical requirements

Scope and application: Applies only to Class A devices and is intended to be used together with ISO 25649‑1 (classification, materials, general requirements and test methods) and ISO 25649‑2 (consumer information).
Design and construction: Requirements to ensure design, sizing, strength and durability are appropriate for intended use; construction must not turn primary flotation devices into toys or change their primary safety function.
Sizing and marking: Devices must be marked for admissible number of users and maximum load capacity. Where relevant, user body-weight ranges and intended postures (lying, sitting) must be indicated and verified against templates referenced in ISO 25649‑1.
Floating performance: Requirements and test methods addressing buoyancy, residual buoyancy (ability to remain safe if a buoyancy chamber fails), and floating stability (no user action required to maintain safe floating).
Safety features and tests: Rules for capsizing and escape, grab handles and safety lines, re-embarkation after failure of an air chamber, behaviour of high superstructures (wind/drift) and anchorage; strength testing for large integrated structures (e.g., giant rings with bottoms).
Consumer information: Labeling, point-of-sale information and instructions for safe use, assembly, maintenance and repair; clear communication on whether the device provides floating stability or requires user balancing.
Test reporting and exclusions: Requirements for test reports and specification of product types excluded from this part.

Applications and users

ISO 25649-3:2017 is used by:

Manufacturers and designers of large floating leisure articles (floating islands, rafts, air mattresses).
Product safety and compliance engineers performing design verification and type testing.
Testing laboratories applying standard test methods for buoyancy, stability and strength.
Retailers and procurement specialists who need to verify labeling and consumer information.
Regulators and facility operators responsible for safe use in pools, ponds and protected shorelines.
