Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received notice of (a)
patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that
this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not

Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 83, Sports and other recreational facilities and
equipment, in collaboration with the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee
CEN/TC 136, Sports, playground and other recreational facilities and equipment, in accordance with the
Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 25649-2:2017), which has been technically
revised.

Introduction
The safe use of floating leisure articles depends not only on the safety and reliability of the products in
use but also on the adequate knowledge of the consumer/user about the risks related to water activities.
The right information when selecting floating leisure articles is a further important aspect, as well as
information on the correct device to use, performance that can be expected from the product or limitations
to the use, and indications on the adequate behaviour on the water.
In particular, children need special supervision and care. Even if the products dealt with in the ISO 25649
series are only intended for use by swimmers, that does not at all eliminate the well-known risks that cannot
technically be avoided because they depend more on behaviour than on performance.
This document deals therefore in particular with all aspects to inform the consumer/user before and during
use about major risks and appropriate behaviour.
