    The ISO 9650 standard defines specifications for liferafts used on recreational boats under 24 meters. It establishes two types of liferafts - ISO 9650-1 for offshore navigation where rougher conditions are expected, and ISO 9650-2 for coastal navigation with more moderate anticipated conditions. The standard specifies requirements for liferafts including capacity, inflation temperature range, floor type, freeboard height, interior space, buoyancy, and survival kit provisions.

    ISO 9650 standard

    ISO 9650 is the international standard implemented in March 2005, to set up formal specifications on liferafts for
    use on board recreational boats. This standard clearly states the performance level and technical specifications of
    the liferaft and materials used in its construction. It applies to all recreational boats under 24 metres (78 ft).
    However, this standard is not compulsory yet in all countries.

    The ISO 9650 standard defines the performance


    level in terms of inflation, launching, resistance,
    buoyancy, interior space and emphasizes
    particularly :
    ISO 9650 standard defines 2 types of rafts
    according to the navigation type :

    Offshore navigation :
    type I liferafts (ISO 9650-1)
    Liferafts designed for long voyages or cruises when gusts of wind can be
    expected, together with exceptional wave height (excluding abnormal
    conditions such as hurricanes).
    ISO 9650-1 liferafts are classified in 2 groups (A and B) to reflect the temperature
    conditions in the sailing area :
    • Group A : liferafts designed to inflate in an environment temperature of -15°C to
    +65°C ; they feature an insulating double floor.
    • Group B : liferafts designed to inflate in an environment temperature of 0°C to • Boarding
    +65°C ; they feature a single floor. Plastimo has developed
    a reversible ladder and
    Liferafts are equipped with 2 types of survival kits, depending on how long the victim an inside grab handle to
    is likely to spend in his raft waiting to be rescued : ease embarking.
    • Emergency kit : rescue forces expected after 24 hours. This system allows the victim
    • Standard kit : rescue forces expected within 24 hours. to hoist himself up on the ladder and then topple
    easily into the liferaft. Should the liferaft inflate
    upside down, the boarding ladder simply reverts,
    Coastal navigation : to allow the victim to pull himself on the capsized
    liferaft and thus making it easier to turn over the
    raft in its natural position.
    type II liferafts (ISO 9650-2) On ISAF models, this ladder system is combined
    with a boarding ramp.
    Liferafts designed for sailing in areas where moderate conditions are
    expected, such as coastal waters, bays, estuaries, rivers and lakes.
    ISO 9650-2 liferafts are designed to inflate in an environment temperature of 0°C to
    +65°C and feature a single floor. They come with a standard survival kit.
