Overview
EN 15649-1:2009/FprA1 - published by CEN - defines safety requirements and test methods for floating leisure articles for use on and in the water. This Part 1 covers classification, materials, general requirements and test methods and must be used together with EN 15649-2 and the relevant specific parts (EN 15649-3 to EN 15649-7). The amendment FprA1 (2011) updates scope, normative references (adds EN 16051-1), classification criteria and specific test requirements.
Keywords: EN 15649-1, floating leisure articles, safety requirements, test methods, classification, materials, CEN.
Key Topics
- Classification: Criteria to distinguish floating leisure articles from aquatic toys, including design features that indicate intended use in deep water or risk of drifting into open waters.
- Materials and construction: General requirements for materials used in floating leisure articles to ensure durability and safety in water environments.
- Entrapment and accessibility tests: Specific probe tests to prevent foot or leg entrapment in bottom and near-bottom openings. Key measurable criteria include:
- Probe accessibility judged up to 600 mm above the bottom.
- Openings less than 50 mm depth and unbounded slots may be excepted.
- Inflation and valve compatibility: Amendment references EN 16051-1:2011 for compatibility of valves and valve adapters; EN 16051-2 is also referenced for inflator safety and durability.
- Amendment actions: Deletion of Annex B/C and updates to terms, normative references and bibliographic directives reflecting alignment with EU toy, craft and PPE directives.
Applications
This standard is practical for anyone involved in the lifecycle of floating leisure products:
- Manufacturers and product designers - to design compliant inflatable and non-rigid floating articles and select appropriate materials and valves.
- Test laboratories and conformity assessors - to perform required safety and performance tests (classification, entrapment, valve compatibility).
- Regulatory compliance teams and importers/retailers - to verify market readiness and regulatory alignment in Europe.
- Procurement and public buyers - to specify safety criteria for parks, pools, water parks and rental fleets.
- Product safety engineers and risk assessors - for hazard identification, labelling and user instructions.
Related Standards
- EN 15649-2 (general guidance) and EN 15649-3 to EN 15649-7 (specific product requirements)
- EN 16051-1 / EN 16051-2 (inflation devices and valve compatibility/safety)
- EN ISO 6185 series (inflatable boats), EN 71-1 (aquatic toys/toy safety), EN 13138 series (buoyant aids)
- Relevant EU directives: 2009/48/EC (toy safety), 94/25/EC (recreational craft), 89/686/EEC (PPE)
This standard is essential for ensuring the safety, performance and market compliance of floating leisure articles used on and in water.
