CE/UKCA

The CE marking indicates that the product complies with the requirements of the EU Personal Protective Equipment Regulation (EU 2016/425). Products are type-examined by a notified body, where their safety and performance are assessed under intended conditions of use.

For drysuits, testing includes, among others:

  • watertightness

  • structural durability

  • user safety

For life jackets, testing includes, among others:

  • buoyancy

  • structural durability

  • user safety

UKCA is the United Kingdom equivalent of the CE marking.

EN ISO 15027

EN ISO 15027-1 defines the performance requirements for constant wear immersion suits intended for use in cold water. The objective of the standard is to delay the onset of hypothermia and extend survival time.

Testing evaluates, among other factors:

  • thermal insulation in cold water

  • watertightness

  • buoyancy and safety performance

  • mechanical strength

Suits are classified into four thermal performance classes (A–D).

A Class A suit provides protection for up to six hours in 2°C water, while a Class D suit provides protection for at least two hours in 10°C water. Ursuit offers products across multiple thermal protection classes.

SOLAS and MED Approval

The Marine Equipment Directive (MED) defines safety and approval requirements for marine equipment used within the EU. Immersion suits fall within its scope.

The technical basis for approval is derived from the requirements of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the LSA Code (Life Saving Appliances), which define performance requirements for life-saving equipment.

SOLAS-approved immersion suits are divided into two thermal performance categories:

  • Six-hour suit

  • One-hour suit

SOLAS-approved lifejackets are divided into two categories based on buoyancy:

  • 150 N

  • 270 N

SOLAS and EN ISO approvals are separate certification systems, although their requirements are partly similar. A survival suit or lifejacket may have both approvals, or only one of them.

SOLAS requirements include high visibility, which is why approved survival suits and lifejackets are typically brightly coloured, such as orange or yellow.

The Red Ensign mark is the British equivalent of the EU MED wheel mark.
