Lifesaving Equipment & Lifejacket Standards US Coast Guard Office of Design and Engineering Standards Lifesaving & Fire Safety Division (CG-5214) Martin Jackson 05 April 2009

Current Projects – Consolidated North American Standard ISO 12402 Standard Lifejacket Test Laboratories Third Party Inspection Alternatives LED Distress Signals Youth Inflatables Study

Consolidated North American Standard General Plan - Project Milestones www.uscg.mil/hq/cg5/cg5214/ North American PFD Standard Funding shared – Boating Safety Grant PFD Industry UL label fee Canadian – US Standard Adopt ISO 12402 PFD Standard Some National Deviations Risk-based Evaluation Tools

ISO/CEN TC188 WG 14 International Standards – ISO Stds 12402 and 15027 Continued US support for int’l PFD standards development Includes all types of lifejackets, buoyant aids, and immersion suits US presence at March ISO meeting further harmonized ISO with UL ISO std includes low buoyancy devices not CG approved in US

Recognized Test Laboratories UL is currently the only “recognized” lab for PFD testing Currently evaluating application by another lab (IMANNA) UL will support evaluation process as required by USCG/UL “memorandum of understanding”

Third Party Inspection Alternatives CG is willing to work with industry to consider alternatives to current third-party inspection program Note - PFDs differ from other consumer products – USCG approves and requires carriage – Consumers expect higher standard associated with USCG approval

Third Party Inspection Alternatives Concerns include Consistent post-market surveillance program; Counterfeits from foreign mfg facilities; Recent experience with self-certification (peanuts, E. Coli, Chinese toothpaste, baby formula, pet food, batteries, etc.)

LED Distress Signal NBSAC Fall 2007 – Request to consider LED distress signals for rec boats. PowerFlare met with USCG 24 September 2008 Intelligent Optical Systems, Inc. has adaptable technology – March 2009 Quickly Changing LED Technology Performance criteria, Specifications, and Test Requirements not resolved – USCG R&D Recognition as distress signal is one issue

Inflatable PFDs for Youth – RBS Strategy 4.5.1 (2007) PFDMA & Grant to study inflatables PFDMA working with Applied Science & Ergonomics (ASE)

Inflatable PFDs for Youth – Phase 1: In-Water Evaluation of Inflatable PFD Use for Youth Ages 6-15 Years Old. Phase 2: In-Water Evaluation of Inflatable PFD Use for Adult Non-Swimmers and Weak Swimmers. Report - Analysis of Evaluations, Risk Analysis, and Documentation
