New PFD Label

The new PFD/life jacket label is divided into three sections:

• Selection and Warning: This section includes the size of the PFD/life jacket, performance information, etc.
• Certification and Approval: This section includes the USCG approval number, manufacturer’s information, etc.
• Care and Maintenance: This section includes information relating to the care and maintenance of the PFD/life jacket. No matter if you are looking at an old label or a new one, here are three things you should focus on:
  • User weight
  • Chest size
  • USCG approval number
