10、hich is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by May 2010, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by May 2010. Attention is drawn to the possibilit
11、y that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Associ
12、ation. 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 a
13、nd EN 15649-2 have to be met. If a product includes multiple use related to several classes, it has to meet the requirements of all these classes. Annex A is normative. Annex B and Annex C are informative. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the
14、 following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Repub- lic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovak

16、n many countries. In particular, during the child age period drowning is the second most fatal accident. Due to a lack of exactness of the available statistical data, they do not reveal details concerning the relation between drowning accidents and the involvement of certain products. Such links can
17、 be shown only for segments of the wide range of water activities related products. Consumer protection has to rely on conclusions by risk analysis, experience and analogy to known cases. Considerations based on probability and the precautionary principle is the second access to the problem. That ap
18、plies in particular for the product group “Floating leisure articles for use on and in the water“ as this group is constituted here and now as a market segment to be addressed by standardisation for safety reasons. Beyond the statistical deficiencies, relations between certain products and an increa
19、sed risk of drowning are plausible. A risk analysis undertaken by WG 13 shows what the partial and final risks are. Until now, standardisation has addressed the risks through a wide series of standards aiming at the protection against drowning and covering a number of products used in leisure activi
20、ties on and in the water. There are standards covering the relevant products for activities like playing in the water, water sports, boating, diving, learning to swim and even the emergency devices as buoyancy aids and live jackets. Beyond these typical and traditional activities and products, there
21、 is a new tendency for the creation and marketing of more and more new products. They are all aiming to increase pleasure and entertainment on the water but also more speed, action and thrill as far as the new adventurous activities as “tubing“, “white water rafting“ etc. is con- cerned. The new pro
22、ducts are partly modified traditional core products or they are derived from them and fur- ther developed to something new. Additionally, there is a clear trend to bring more and more formerly land based playground equipment on the water. The term “amphibiation“ is justified as in many cases the ori
23、ginal function of the product is maintained, i.e. they can be used both ways. Typical examples for the first men- tioned kind of new products are modifications of inflatable boats into a bathing raft in fantasy shape or the fur- ther development of the earlier swim-ring into a flotation seat. Exampl
24、es for “amphibians“ exist in inflatable trampolines, climbing installations being put on the water for action and fun. Inflatable floating armchairs and sun loungers including the mini bar and sun shade rather serve for more comfort and relaxation when bathing. This trend is clear and very likely to
25、 continue. It can be shown that the nature of these new products provide an equal or even higher risk potential than the original core products. In parallel, the number of these products override the number of the core products. In cases of collective use, the frequency of use is considerably increa
26、sed which in turn increases the likelihood of accidents drownings. Drowning is the final risk of the mentioned product related activities, there are other somewhat lesser evils partial risks which are likely to happen too independently or in combination with the final risk. Having in mind the existi
27、ng safety related standardisation, an evident discrepancy emerges. Standardisation in the past was focused on the core products and has neglected the huge amount of products forming the so called “grey zone“. We always were aware of this fact, but the “grey zone“ was so disturbingly complicated and
28、never really considered and investigated. The triggering incident to change this was the swim seat case, its interaction with aquatic toys and all the many related products mentioned above. The fact of negligence highlights the reason. It was due to this inconsistency, variety and complexity that th
29、ese products were usually excluded from the scopes of related standards. Experts involved in this standardisation work therefore in- vented the term “grey zone products“. A systematic risk analysis or an investigation in drowning accidents was never made. What matters today is not so much the fact o
30、f a disturbing gap in the series of existing standards but the knowledge that there is a number of coincidences: all in all the main user groups of these products are children and adolescents who in turn are the main victims of drowning; the main areas where drowning happens are identical with the a
31、reas of use for such products (rivers, lakes, pools, bathing beaches); - - EN 15649-1:2009 (E) 5 the risks can be easily identified partly proven, the increase in numbers and frequencies were already mentioned. 0.2 Equal risk, equal requirement Equality of risks shall lead to an equality of technica
32、l rules (risk-/rule-alignment); closing the standardisation gap, completeness; setting of clear boundaries between the product areas in order to avoid incorrect certification (e.g. unjusti- fied CE-Mark), “standard jumping“ including escape from tougher standards into weaker ones, contribut- ing to
33、overcome the problems of an extremely wide and vague definition of aquatic toys in the toy direc- tive (88/378/EEC) and the distinction of shallow and deep water as dividing criterion; avoidance of individually established testing procedures by the various test houses in the absence of a unified tec
34、hnical rule. 0.3 Risks and need for prevention Relevance of drowning is proven (age groups, places, partly product involvement); new products increase frequency of use and amount of products likely to contribute to accident; theoretical risk analysis shows additional risks below the final risk of dr
35、owning; plausibility and likelihood of harm to users is evident, so is the probability of adequate safety standards to avoid or minimise this; to contribute positively to the basic problem of parental supervision which is needed and claimed with re- gard to child activities but in many cases weak, n
36、ot existing or neglected; safety by utmost inherent safety by design from the product in addition to this technical safety shall be supplemented through supervision it is recommended for younger children; we have to recognise that there are new trends to bring more and more former land based product
37、s on the water, as well as trends to adventure activities increasing the thrill of water related leisure activities and entertainment; need for prevention. - - EN 15649-1:2009 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies safety requirements and test methods related to materials, safety, perform- a
