Default Coast Guard drops lifejacket labeling rule

The Coast Guard officially dropped the type code labeling rule for personal floatation devices so it can write clearer rules and instructions. Details at http://www.examiner.com/article/coas...-labeling-rule

Default Re: Coast Guard drops lifejacket labeling rule

Not sure if creating different names will make better.

What's the difference between a Type I offshore, and Type II near coastal? Many look very similar. Commercial boats require Type I's.

Inflatables are a category unto themselves. Whether horse collar type /suspenders are the belt style. Auto or manual deploy?

The Type V special use PFD's are all over the parking lot with vests, float coats and the like. That's a category that is best gone.

We shall see. Change for the sake of change is not necessarily better.
