Life Jacket

As one of the world's most renowned manufacturers of personal floating devices (PFDs), many countries require certification for these PFDs. We have obtained the latest EU CE certification, but are working hard to obtain UL certification in the United States. We have established long-term partnerships with the most well-known brands and international professional rescue teams through the production of PFDs. We not only produce PFDs for many such companies and professional rescue teams, but also assist in designing and providing customized materials. Highrun developed these special materials to maintain competitiveness in the fiercely competitive market.

Accessibility:

Wearable PFDs must be readily accessible. You must be able to put them on in a reasonable amount of time in an emergency (vessel sinking, on fire, etc.). They should not be stowed in plastic bags, in locked or closed compartments or have other gear stowed on top of them. The best PFD is the one you will wear. Though not required, a PFD should be worn at all times when the vessel is underway. A wearable PFD can save your life, but only if you wear it. Throwable devices must be immediately available for use.

Child PFD Requirements:

Some states require that children wear PFDs. Applies to children of specific ages applies to certain sizes of boats applies to specific boating operations. Check with your state boating safety officials. Child PFD approvals are based on the child’s weight. Check the User Weight on the label, or the approval statement that will read something like Approved for use on recreational boats and uninspected commercial vessels not carrying passengers for hire, by persons weighing __ lbs. They can be marked less than 30, 30 to 50, less than 50, or 50 to 90.

PFD requirements for certain boating activities under state laws:

The Coast Guard recommends and many states require wearing PFDs: For water skiing and other towed activities (use a PFD marked for water skiing). While operating personal watercraft (PWC) (use a PFD marked for water skiing or PWC use). During white water boating activities. While sailboarding (under Federal law, sailboards are not boats). Check with your state boating safety officials. Federal law does not require PFDs on racing shells, rowing sculls, racing canoes, and racing kayaks, state laws vary. Check with your state boating safety officials. If you are boating in an area under the jurisdiction of the Army Corps of Engineers, or a federal, state, or local park authority, other rules may apply.

Production and craftsmanship

High-Quality Materials is made from durable PVC foam, SBR neoprene, and EPE foam, ensuring a long-lasting and reliable protection for users in water sports activities.

Every step of production goes through strict sewing, printing, testing, and packaging.Every piece produced must undergo buoyancy testing in the laboratory to ensure that users maintain buoyancy in the water, play safely, and enjoy the fun that water brings them.

Every product must comply with the latest CE certification requirements for production, and laboratory staff regularly sample and test life jackets every year to ensure they meet the requirements. Therefore, it is very rare for us to have this qualification in China

Highrun adopts high-quality special materials and durable structures,can prevent users from rubbing their skin when wearing it which can withstand harsh marine conditions and provide users with reliable services for many years.

CE APPROVED PFD SAFETY INFORMATION

CE standards deal with various categories of buoyancy performance, the big four are shown below. The rating is for an adult size so smaller sizes have proportionally less buoyancy:

Highrun certification type EN ISO 12402-2

Cover with a 275N life jacket and provide at least 27.5kg of buoyancy.

Suitable for use at sea and in harsh conditions.

The buoyancy they provide should ensure that in the vast majority of cases, even when wearing heavy waterproof clothing, they can self correct unconscious users.

Competition vest

The competition vest has not been approved by the United States Coast Guard, Transport Canada, the European Union, or any other officially approved agency for floating devices. No express or implied warranties are made regarding its use or marketability. It is designed to allow tournament participants who consider standard approved vests with sufficient buoyancy to be too bulky to move freely.

Competition vest cannot be considered a safety vest or life preserver. It should be worn only by experienced tournament participants engaged in competitive events sanctioned by American Water Ski Association, Canadian Water Ski Association, World Water Ski Union, or similar organizations and only events where safety factors such as patrol boats and pickup boats are actively involved and the tournament participants are under constant observation. This vest should not be worn by anyone who cannot swim. The buoyancy factor and its distribution in the vest are not sufficient to float a conscious or unconscious person in a “face out of the water position.” Before each use, the wearer should have this vest examined and approved by the tournament officials responsible for equipment inspection. However, even in such sanctioned tournaments, injury or drowning could occur while wearing competition vest. Competition vest must not be worn by tournament participants or others under any other circumstances or conditions than those described above. For the purposes of compliance with applicable California statutes, manufacturer certifies that competition vest is a waterski and wakeboard garment.
