29、 Technical Committee CEN/TC 136 “Sports, playground and other recreational equipment”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry. This European Standard is one of a series consisting of seven standards dealing with floating leisure articles for
30、use on and in the water. Floating leisure articles for use on and in the water Part 1: Classification, materials, general requirements and test methods Part 2: Consumer information Part 3: Additional specific safety require- ments and test methods for class A devices Part 4: Additional specific safe
31、ty require- ments and test methods for class B devices Part 5: Additional specific safety require- ments and test methods for class C devices Part 6: Additional specific safety require- ments and test methods for class D devices Part 7: Additional specific safety require- ments and test methods for
32、class E devices Compliance of a product to this standard requires that the relevant vertical part and additionally the Parts 1 and 2 have to be met.

33、2007 (E) 4 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 and buying inflatable leis
34、ure articles is a further important aspect. Which device can be given to what user? What is the adequate area of use? What performance can I expect from the product, what are the limitations? What is the adequate behaviour on the water? In particular children need special supervision and care. Even
35、if the products dealt with in this series of standards are only intended for use by swimmers that does not at all eliminate the well known risks which can not technically be avoided because they depend more on behaviour than on technical performance. This part of the standard deals therefore in part
36、icular with all aspects to inform the consumer/ user before buying and during use about major risks and appropriate behaviour. Since floating leisure articles are products which are traded world wide the issue of language and comprehensibility of explanations and information play an important role.
37、Within the EU consumer information has already to cope with 25 different languages. Therefore, where ever possible, the authors of this standard tried to develop a non verbal communication by drafting commonly understood pictograms for the main and most important information. In particular those whi
38、ch have to be present during use.

39、 It specifies the requirements related to consumer information before buying and during use which are common to all product groups (classes A to E) as they are dealt with in the specific vertical standards parts 3 to 7. The specific vertical standards determine the relevant specific selection of inf
40、ormation from this part 2 by reference. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendme

43、 This information shall serve the purposes of information before buying (point of sale information); information for preparing the product for use: information during use; information concerning maintenance, storage and repair. A certain prominent kind of information is constituted by “WARNING!” whi
44、ch highlights rather extreme circumstances within all single information subgroups above. 4.2 Consumer information at point of sale (information before buying) Information at point of sale shall be given on the packaging or in a way that it can be noticed by the consumer, e.g. through a transparent
45、cover. It shall include all data relevant for matching consumer needs with the performance characteristics of the product. In particular those related to the rough shape (appearance) and dimensions of the product, users size (age groups, body weight etc. if applicable), load capacity, place of use,
46、performance and major warnings. As means of conveying this information in an unified and comprehensible way the graphical symbols as specified in clause 6 shall be applied. When necessary graphical symbols shall be supplemented by plain text. The order of graphical symbols shall follow a coherent ap
47、proach following the logic of buying and use. The graphical symbols shall be grouped together.
