Lifejackets vs. Swimming aids
The labeling is done in pictograms, with the figure shown indicating the buoyancy in Newtons. The rule is: the higher the number, the more protection the safety equipment offers.
Definition:
Schwimmhilfen
Schwimmhilfen bieten nur einen geringen Auftrieb und sind für Benutzer gedacht, die bei Bewußtsein sind. Für Kinder unter 30 kg ungeeignet!
Definition:
Rettungswesten
Rettungswesten ermöglichen einem Benutzer auch bei eingeschränktem Bewusstsein oder bei Bewusstlosigkeit eine sichere Position. Die Person wird durch den Auftrieb in Rückenlage gedreht, sodass der Kopf sicher über der Wasseroberfläche gehalten wird.
