Abstract

This document specifies performance and safety requirements for abandonment suits and suit systems in emergency situations for professional and leisure activities to protect the user against the effects of cold water immersion, by reducing cold shock and delaying the onset of hypothermia. If a suit system includes a PFD it provides protection against drowning. It is applicable for dry and wet abandonment suits. Constant wear suits are not covered by this document. The requirements of constant wear suits are given in ISO 15027-1. Test methods are given in ISO 15027-3.
