How to buy and use a lifebuoy? What is the difference between a life buoy and a swimming lap?

The quality of lifesaving equipment during swimming is important. Here we first introduce the precautions related to the life preserver.

Acquisition: When the lifebuoy is purchased, it is best to see if there are safety signs. Each lifebuoy should be marked with its title, name of the manufacturer, production number, date of manufacture and batch number, and identification of inspection organization. Must pay attention to inspection symbols, do not buy "three no" commodities. Be careful to ask for and keep the invoice. Cheap life-saving equipment must ensure that the data is resistant to wear and buoyancy. Do not damage it.

Storage in transportation: When packing, care should be taken not to make the ring body deformed and it should not be damaged during transportation. Lifebuoys should be stored in boring warehouses and should be laid flat. When it is too long, the lifebuoy will have the appearance of slow elimination, so be careful to inflate at any time.

Before use: Before swimming, have a close inspection to see if there is a leak, cracks and the like, because I am not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid if so.

When in use: Do not touch with sharp objects while carrying or inflating. Do not use it in deep sea or rapids.

Here we introduce the difference between the life buoy and the swimming lap

1. National regulations and differences: The national regulations for the swimming ring and the life ring are different. The life ring is a life-saving effect. It has many affiliated functions. The swimming ring is defined as a water toy and fulfills only the toy specification. The national toy quality supervision and inspection intermediate professor said: "Plastic inflatable swimming ring is only a water inflatable toy, not a life buoy, and can not be used as a life-saving appliance." China Light Industry Association issued the "safety and skills requirements of inflatable water toys," clearly stipulated in the inflatable swimming ring Water toys should be printed with a permanent Chinese security symbol at a clear position less than 100 mm apart. This symbol is "Caution: Non-life-buoy equipment is only for shallow water use under adult supervision." Therefore, compared with the real life buoy, the toy swim ring is simply damaged and leaks, the pressure resistance is very poor, it is easy to burst, the plastic surface is wet and slippery, it is difficult to grasp, and can only play a certain role in the water leisure sports. Or maintenance effects, if taken to deep water areas are dangerous.

2. Differences in material selection: The core material of the life ring is made of polystyrene material, wrapped with glass fiber cloth, coated with three layers of phenolic resin, and then coated with canvas and painted with several layers of paint. For buoys that are used only in inland waters, the overall mass is not less than 1.5 kilograms. The intent is to enhance the strength of the ring lifebuoy, and to accurately drop the floaters when they are rescued, and not affected by wind waves. Compared with real life buoys, the weight of “toy” swimming ring is too light, so it is difficult to accurately throw it; simply broken and leaking, the compressive ability is very poor, and it is easy to burst; the plastic surface is wet and slippery and difficult to grasp.

There is a substantial difference between the swimming ring and the life ring. The former can never replace the latter. Parents should not misunderstand the concept of mixed swimming ring and life ring, and entrust the child's safety to such swimming ring “toy.” When purchasing, consumers should pay attention to observing whether there is manufacturer, address, and production date on the swimming ring and packaging, and prevent the purchase of “three no products”. After buying a swim ring, you should read the above warning: “Non-lifesaving devices need to be used by children under the supervision of an adult”. Parents may use them strictly according to the prompts; before use, they may also check for leaks.
