MULLION LIFEJACKETS AND<br />
BUOYANCY AIDS<br />
Life<strong>jackets</strong> <strong>and</strong> Buoyancy Aids can be generically classed as Personal<br />
Flotation Devices – PFDs. These can be divided into two main classes:<br />
1) Gas / oral inflatable <strong>life</strong> <strong>jackets</strong> which provide face-up in-water<br />
support to the user regardless of physical conditions. These will<br />
generally fall into the 150 Newton <strong>and</strong> 275 Newton categories.<br />
2) Inherent foam non-inflatable buoyancy aids which require the user<br />
to be competent in swimming <strong>and</strong> / or positioning themself in the<br />
water to maintain the face-up position. These will generally fall into<br />
the 50 Newton <strong>and</strong> 100 Newton categories.<br />
PFDs that do not require intervention to activate ( automatically operating PFDs)<br />
are suited to activities where persons are likely to enter the water unexpectedly;<br />
whereas PFDs requiring intervention ( manual inflation only PFDs or buoyancy<br />
aids) are only suitable for use if the user believes there will be sufficient time<br />
to produce full buoyancy, the area of use is always in benign conditions, or help<br />
is always close at h<strong>and</strong>. In every circumstance the user should ensure that the<br />
operation of the PFD is suited to the specific application.<br />
Certain environmental <strong>and</strong> ergonomic circumstances - e.g. high waves / heavy<br />
waterproof clothing, immersion suits or flotation suits being worn / tool belts<br />
being carried will undoubtedly influence the relative performance of a PFD. Users<br />
, owners <strong>and</strong> employers need to ensure that this is taken into account when selecting<br />
the most appropriate PFD. PFDs may also be affected by other conditions<br />
of use such as flame / static or chemical exposure <strong>and</strong> welding <strong>and</strong> therefore<br />
specific models are included in our range for these purposes.<br />
Also essential after purchase is the ongoing after –care, maintenance <strong>and</strong> service<br />
of such PFDs. All SOLAS approved PFDs must legally be serviced annually at a<br />
Mullion approved independent Service Centre <strong>and</strong> for all CE approved PFDs it<br />
is strongly recommended that they should also be serviced annually at a Mullion<br />
approved Service Centre.<br />
These are all Life Saving Appliances <strong>and</strong> should be treated with the same respect<br />
<strong>and</strong> importance you give to your own <strong>life</strong>!<br />

INTEGRATON OF PERSONAL<br />
LOCATOR BEACON.<br />
It is possible to integrate a PLB in our <strong>life</strong> <strong>jackets</strong>. The PLB is integrated on the inside<br />
of the cover. The advantage to integrate a PLB on the inside of the <strong>life</strong>jacket is that the<br />
PLB is protected by the cover <strong>and</strong> it thereby extends its service <strong>life</strong>. Each different PLB<br />
is fi xed inside the cover in the best position to optimize its functional effi ciency according<br />
to type of operation.<br />

TECHNICAL INTRODUCTION TO<br />
MARITIME SAFETY CLOTHING<br />
DIFFERENT TYPES OF PROTECTION CAN BE OPTIONALLY COMBINED:<br />
• INHERENT BUOYANCY or INFLATABLE BUOYANCY<br />
• THERMAL PROTECTION AGAINST HYPOTHERMIA<br />
• FOUL WEATHER PROTECTION<br />
• HIGH VISIBILITY<br />
• FLAME RETARDANT, CHEMICAL RESISTANT AND ANTISTATIC PROPERTIES<br />
SOME DEFINITIONS AND COMMENTS:<br />
(for a better underst<strong>and</strong>ing of the MULLION product descriptions)<br />
INHERENT BUOYANCY MATERIAL:<br />
Buoyancy provided by a material which is less dense than water, e.g. a closed cell foam, <strong>and</strong> forming a<br />
permanent part of the garment.<br />
PERSONAL BUOYANCY AID:<br />
Garment or device which when correctly worn <strong>and</strong> used in water, will provide a specifi c amount of<br />
buoyancy… to assist the wearer to float without special efforts in a vertical or upward position,<br />
the airways clear of the water.<br />
INFLATABLE LIFE JACKET:<br />
Personal buoyancy aid from which the buoyancy is obtained by infl ating it by mouth (orally infl ated) or<br />
from a compressed CO2 gas cylinder; either manually by pulling a h<strong>and</strong>le = operated by the wearer, or<br />
automatically = without the wearer carrying out any action, but as a result of immersion in water, either<br />
by a hydrostatic mechanism or a cellulose cartridge type of mechanism. Mullion 150N <strong>and</strong> 275N infl atable<br />
<strong>life</strong> <strong>jackets</strong> are made of a single-chamber bladder (EN st<strong>and</strong>ards) or double-chamber bladder (IMO/SOLAS<br />
regulations). A ‘st<strong>and</strong> alone’ automatic <strong>life</strong> jacket will self-right the wearer if correctly donned; it will turn<br />
over a person falling into the water face down, even if he/she is unconscious, it will NOT, however protect<br />
against cold shock or hypothermia.These are mainly worn on their own in warmer climates where there is<br />
less risk of cold water immersion <strong>and</strong> shock.<br />
They can also be worn in conjunction with a constant wear suit, the latter being the ideal combination to<br />
give the wearer all round protection.Where the two are worn together, it is important to follow the<br />
donning instructions strictly <strong>and</strong> check <strong>and</strong> test their compatibility.<br />
as one can counteract the other <strong>and</strong> have a negative effect on the self-righting properties. For example a<br />
150 Newton <strong>life</strong> jacket worn with a constant wear floatation suit is not recommended for self-righting<br />
purposes; for this application we advise the use of a compatible 275 Newton <strong>life</strong> jacket.<br />
DOUBLE-CHAMBER BUOYANCY SYSTEMS:<br />
Buoyancy provided by 2 separate infl atable compartments, such that if mechanical damage occurs to one,<br />
the other can still operate <strong>and</strong> provide suffi cient buoyancy on its own (required for SOLAS application).<br />
HYPOTHERMIA:<br />
A condition where the body core temperature is below 35°C, 2°C lower than the ‘normal’ core body<br />
temperature (=37°C). The state of hypothermia is of a higher risk to a person immersed in cold water<br />
than in a cold air environment, due to the fact that water is a greater conductor of heat than air.<br />
Consequently the body cools much more rapidly in water than in still air of the same temperature<br />
(approximately 25 times faster).<br />

STANDARDS<br />
EN393: 50N BUOYANCY AIDS<br />
Have a buoyancy of no less than 50 Newton for the average adult. They are intended for use in<br />
sheltered waters where more bulky or buoyant devices would impair the user’s activity or actually<br />
endanger the user, <strong>and</strong> when help is close at h<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> the user is a conscious, competent swimmer.<br />
EN 395: 100N LIFE JACKETS<br />
Have buoyancy of no less than 100 Newton for the average adult. They are intended for use<br />
offshore or when foul weather clothing is used.<br />

Recognition that the equipment fully complies with the requirements of the MED<br />
(Marine Equipment Directive) will be denoted by a ‘Ships Steering Wheel’ which must be<br />
on all equipment sold to European Community Ships of 500 tons or more in size.<br />
In addition,material testing <strong>and</strong> mechanical tests are done, requirements on colour & retro<br />
reflective material, the presence of specified trimmings is checked: a whistle, light,… <strong>and</strong> further<br />
performance tests on the whole garment or device e.g. the capabilities of donning, floatation,<br />
righting, etc. The head should be supported at the side <strong>and</strong> at the back so the airways are well<br />
out of the water (the mouth should be 12 cm higher than the water surface). The torso should be<br />
leaning backwards at an angle between 30° <strong>and</strong> 90°(vs. vertical) A ‘relaxed’ (unconscious) person<br />
face down in the water should be automatically turned on to his back within10 seconds<br />
(EN395) <strong>and</strong> within 5 seconds (EN396, EN399).<br />
EN 1095: DECK HARNESSES/SAFETY LINES<br />
This European St<strong>and</strong>ard is applicable to harnesses <strong>and</strong> safety lines in the following sizes of body<br />
weight. Size1: over 50kg , Size 2: between 20kg <strong>and</strong> 50kg , Size 3: lower than 20kg; which are<br />
intended to be worn by all persons when in the exposed cockpit or on the working deck of a<br />
recreational vessel afloat. It is not applicable to dinghy “trapeze” harnesses, windsurfi ng harnesses,<br />
or seat harnesses for fast motor boats.<br />

MORE DEFINITIONS<br />
CLO value:<br />
A unit to express the relative thermal insulation value. One CLO = 0.1555 °C x m 2 / W<br />
Dry suit:<br />
A garment that stops the entry of signifi cant quantities of water upon immersion, the insulation<br />
depends on the wearer staying dry.<br />
Wet suit:<br />
A garment that allows the controlled entry <strong>and</strong> exit of water when the wearer is immersed.<br />
By keeping a stationary layer of water, this will work as an insulation layer.<br />
Immersion suit:<br />
A suit intended to protect the wearer from the effects of immersion in cold water.<br />
Constant wear suit:<br />
A floatation suit, designed to be routinely worn in anticipation of accidental immersion<br />
in cold water, but permitting physical activity by the wearer. The suit can also be worn<br />
as an ‘every day’ working garment for foul weather protection (rain, cold, wind).<br />
Ab<strong>and</strong>onment suit:<br />
An immersion suit, designed to permit rapid donning in the event of an imminent immersion.<br />
