Immersion Suits - Part 2: Abandonment Suits, Requirements Including Safety
Also Known As:
ISO 15027-2:2012 is a standard that outlines the requirements for abandonment suits in emergency situations. The purpose of these suits is to protect the wearer against the effects of cold water immersion, including cold shock and hypothermia. The standard covers both dry and wet abandonment suits and specifies performance and safety requirements, including protection for the head, hands, and feet.
It is important to note that ISO 15027-2:2012 specifically applies to abandonment suits and does not cover constant wear suits. The requirements for constant wear suits can be found in ISO 15027-1, while the test methods are outlined in ISO 15027-3. This standard ensures that abandonment suits meet the necessary criteria to effectively protect wearers in emergency situations involving cold water immersion.
