ASTM International Standard F3210-17

ASTM International Standard F3210-17 is a guideline that establishes criteria for the safety, performance, and labeling of personal flotation devices (PFDs), specifically designed for non-swimmers or weak swimmers. It focuses on ensuring these devices are effective in keeping users afloat in water, especially in emergency situations. The standard includes testing methods to verify how well the PFDs work and details on how they should be marked for consumer awareness. Ultimately, this standard aims to enhance safety and trust in flotation devices used by individuals who may not be confident in their swimming abilities.
