Scope:

Note: The project need for this NOI (originally published on September 29, 2015) was updated by the responsible SDO on January 6, 2021.

This part of ISO 12402 specifies the safety requirements for lifejackets, performance level 150. It applies to lifejackets used by adults or children.

Project need:

UL will create a new Joint Canada-US National standard for performance level 150 lifejackets and the safety requirements. The proposed standard will be applicable to lifejackets used by adults, children and infants, for general, offshore or rough water use, or when the users are fully clothed. The rationale for adopting proposed ANSI/CAN/UL 12402-3 with national deviations is to give both the U.S. Coast Guard and Transport Canada a defined standard for performance level 150 lifejackets.

Note: The information provided above was obtained by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) and is provided as part of a centralized, transparent notification system for new standards development. The system allows SCC-accredited Standards Development Organizations (SDOs), and members of the public, to be informed of new work in Canadian standards development, and allows SCC-accredited SDOs to identify and resolve potential duplication of standards and effort.
