Proposes requirements for personal flotation devices designed to assist flotation during short term immersion in sheltered waters during daylight hours and intended for participants in aquatic sports such as canoeing or sailboarding where the wearer requires freedom of movement and is able to swim in the event of capsize or immersion. Proposed changes include an alignment of upper body mass ranges and their buoyancy requirements with those used in the corresponding New Zealand Standard (NZS 5823: Buoyancy aids and marine safety harnesses and lines), and the listing of additional allowable colours. Appendices include comparative test methods for adequately supporting the wearer in water.
