AS4758 certification


Stormy Australia is now accredited with the new Australian Standard for PFD's AS4758. The new standard supersedes the old standard AS1512. Based on the International Standard ISO12402 the new Australian Standard rates the PFD'S by buoyancy levels.
Level 150 - Intended for general offshore and rough weather use. It will turn an unconscious person into a safe position.

Level 100 - Intended for those who may need to wait for rescue, but are likely to do so in a safe position in sheltered waters.
