!". This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association. This European Standard is one of a series consisting of seven standards dealing with floating leisure articles for use on and in the water.
Compliance of a product to this standard requires that the requirements of the relevant specific part and
additionally, the requirements of EN 15649-1 and EN 15649-2 shall be met. If a product includes multiple use related to several classes it has to meet the requirements of all these classes. SIST EN 15649-3:2010+A1:2012

NOTE 1 Typical products forming Class A:
 "Floating Islands" in near round or square shaped forms decorated with palm tree, sun shade, etc. high superstruc-ture;
 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;  !deleted text"  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). 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

device providing static floating stability product so designed that the user needs not to care about floating stability by his own skills
NOTE One or several users may be safely on or in the device even if the weight is not evenly distributed. 3.31 device to be balanced by the user upright floating of device depends on user's skill and sense to balance it 3.4 escape easy and complete separation between the user and the device in case of capsizing of the device or system without hindrance through any part or feature of the floating device 3.5 available area area on or inside a floating article which can be used unrestrictedly for user accommodation when taking the intended posture(s) 3.6 multiple use product any product intended to be used for more than one purpose (jumping, resting, climbing, etc.) 3.7 inherent buoyant material non-crosslinked (closed-cell) foam or other materials enclosed in (a) sealed compartment(s) in the hull which have a specific weight less than fresh water NOTE Inflatables made from inherent buoyant material are considered a buoyant structure (hull) achieving all or parts of its intended shape and buoyancy resulting from soft foam, hard foam or sealed chambers filled with air, gas or granules. 4 Safety requirements and test methods 4.1 General Construction of a floating leisure article shall be such that it corresponds in terms of design, dimensions, safety, strength and durability for its intended use. The requirements set out in this standard were chosen to ensure compliance with these considerations. If inflatable floating leisure articles shall provide buoyancy in several components then requirements apply to all components. Floating leisure articles shall provide residual buoyancy if one air chamber fails. This residual buoyancy shall maintain the safety of the device even if its function is lost. The following safety requirements are therefore related to:  design;  sizing;  materials;  strength;  performance;
