Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an international Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 24432 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 8, Ships and Marine Technology, Subcommittee SC, Lifesaving and Fire Protection.
The requirements in this International Standard are based on the requirements for thermal protective aids (TPA's) in the IMO Life-saving Appliances Code (LSA Code), but exceed those requirements in certain areas. Specifically:
The TPA specified in this International Standard must be provided with sleeves, and be tested to evaluate the ability of the wearer to perform certain vital functions in survival craft;
This International Standard contains physical requirements (tensile and tear strength) for the fabric or film used in construction of the TPA, which are not addressed in the LSA Code; and
This international Standard contains requirements for production testing of TPA's, which is not specifically addressed in IMO instruments.
