What Does “ISO Inflatable Lifejacket” Mean?

ISO lifejackets comply with the EN ISO 12402 standard, which defines the level of buoyancy, performance, and design for life-saving equipment. Each classification corresponds to a specific buoyancy rating measured in Newtons (N):

• 50N – for calm inland waters and competent swimmers;

• 100N – for sheltered coastal waters;

• 150N (ISO 12402-3) – for offshore and general cruising, ensuring self-righting capability;

• 275–290N (ISO 12402-2) – for extreme conditions, heavy clothing, and professional use.

An ISO-certified lifejacket means that it has been tested for self-righting, buoyancy stability, and resistance to impact – so you can trust it to perform when it matters most.

Why Choose an Inflatable Lifejacket

Unlike foam models, inflatable lifejackets offer exceptional freedom of movement and long-lasting comfort. Before activation, they’re lightweight and discreet. When inflated – either automatically or manually – they deliver powerful buoyancy to keep your head safely above water.

Key Advantages:

• Compact & lightweight: comfortable even for all-day use.

• Higher buoyancy: up to 290N from a small, ergonomic unit.

• Variety of activation systems: manual, automatic, or hydrostatic.

• Professional-grade options: spray hood, double crotch strap, harness attachments, reflective panels, and SOLAS-approved lights.

These features make inflatable lifejackets ideal for sailors, anglers, professional crews, and recreational boaters alike.

Maintenance & Inspection – Keeping Your Gear Ready

An inflatable lifejacket requires routine care to remain fully operational.

1. Visual inspection: check fabric, seams, and reflective parts.

2. CO₂ cylinder check: verify that it’s properly screwed in and unpierced.

3. Inflation system: test automatic/manual activation every 12 months.

4. Rearming kits: after any inflation, always replace the CO₂ cylinder and cartridge.

At Gaelix Marine Service, we offer official LALIZAS rearming kits and maintenance support for individuals and companies. For fleets or shipowners, we can also provide annual service schedules and certification documentation.
