4.4.2.4 Deflation device(s) The dry suit intended to be fitted with valves shall be provided with at least an automatic overpressure device and a manually operated deflation device. These two devices may be integrated into one unit. When the suit incorporating a manually operated deflation device is tested in accordance with 5.6 it shall be possible to activate the deflation device with a single gloved hand when the diver is wearing three finger gloves, (620+) mm thickness, double lined, or the gloves permanently attached to the suit. The opening of the deflation device on the inside of the suit shall be guarded in such a way as to ensure free gas flow to the device when tested according to 5.3. When tested in accordance with 5.6 it shall be possible to deflate the suit using the manual deflation device. When the joint between each suit deflation device and the suit is tested in accordance with 5.5.1.3 a) the suit shall not leak. When the suit is tested in accordance with 5.6 the deflation device shall not allow water ingress into the suit. When the air leakage test is carried out in accordance with 5.5.1.3 b) the amount of water introduced into the manometer over the 1 h test period shall not exceed 1 000 ml. When the flow test is carried out in accordance with 5.5.1.3 b) the pressure shall not exceed 25 mbar. The flow capacity of the overpressure device shall exceed the flow capacity of the inflation device, with a maximum pressure of 40 mbar inside the suit when tested according to 5.5.1.4 a). If the overpressure device is of the non-adjustable type, the pressure inside the suit during the actuation of the inflation device shall not exceed 40 mbar when tested according to 5.5.1.4 b). If the overpressure device is of the adjustable type, the pressure inside the suit during the actuation of the inflation device shall not exceed
25 mbar when the valve is at its minimum opening pressure setting, and 40 mbar when at its maximum setting when tested according to 5.5.1.4 c).

4.6.3.1 Colour If the suit manufacturer claims the suit to have a colour enhancing the visibility, this property shall be documented and include an area of the suit not less than 50 % of the total suit area when tested in accordance with 5.3. This enhanced visibility shall be for the relevant use environment. The colour fastness (dry and wet) of suit material when determined in accordance with ISO 105-A02:1993 shall be resistant to rubbing (wet and dry), when tested in accordance with EN ISO 105-X12:2002 to at least step 4, and to salt water when tested in accordance with EN ISO 105-E02:1996 to at least step 4. 4.6.3.2 Retroreflective material There shall be affixed to the suit surface a total area of at least 400 cm2 of material, which is retroreflective to light and which conforms to the requirements detailed in SOLAS:1974, as amended, Chapter III as amended by IMO Resolution MSC 47(66) and LSA Code, adopted by Res. A.658(16), Annex 2, issued by
the International Maritime Organisation (IMO). These retroreflective areas shall be located in at least two positions of the suit. Preference shall be given to the upper body, and parts of the suit that will not be covered by attachment or by other parts of the diving equipment. When retroreflective material attached to a suit, and the same material that has not been attached to a suit are tested in accordance with EN ISO 15027-3:2002, 3.11.6.4.2, there shall be no difference in retroreflectivity between the two samples. 5 Test methods 5.1 General At least three dry suits of different sizes including the largest and the smallest sizes, as stated by the manufacturer, together with material samples shall be submitted for visual inspection (see 5.3) and testing. One suit and suit material samples where appropriate shall undergo laboratory tests in accordance with 5.4 and 5.5, and all three suits shall undergo leakage test (5.5.2) and practical performance tests under realistic conditions in accordance with 5.6. 5.2 Test sequence The tests shall be conducted in accordance with the flow chart shown in Figure 1.
