What is an Individual Buoyancy Equipment (EIF in France)?
The term refers to several pieces of equipment:
- Buoyancy aid: at least 50 newtons for vessels propelled by human energy regardless
of their distance (between 300m and 2miles), and for boats moving up to 3700m from
the shore.
- Lifejacket: 100 newtons at least for boats moving beyond 3700 meters from shore.
Make sure that the material is well adapted to the morphology of everyone, especially
for children. Also check the product standards.
