Inspector Detail
▸
Common issues
- Foam buoyancy panel degradation or compression over time, reducing buoyant force
- Webbing straps chafed, cut, or UV-degraded, especially waistbelt and crotch strap
- Missing or non-functional whistle
- Retro-reflective tape delaminating or losing reflectivity
- Light bracket cracked, or light unit missing/battery past expiry
- Stitching failure at panel seams from repeated donning and UV exposure
- Buckles or quick-release fittings stiff or corroded
Inspection checklist
- Visual check of outer cover for tears, cuts, chafing
- Check all webbing, straps and buckles operate freely and are not frayed
- Confirm whistle present and tied on securely
- Confirm light attached, activates, and battery within expiry date
- Check retro-reflective tape condition on all panels
- Check size/weight rating label legible
- Confirm no unauthorized alterations or repairs
- Check foam panels by hand for obvious permanent compression or hardening
Service intervals
| Manufacturer annual inspection | every 12 months per manufacturer's service schedule |
| Light battery replacement | at the expiry date printed on the unit, typically 2-5 years |
| Whistle/retro-reflective tape check | at each annual inspection |
| Full lifejacket replacement | per manufacturer's stated service life on the label, commonly around 10 years from date of manufacture |
Typical wear limits
| Buoyancy foam | reject on any visible permanent compression or hardening - inherent (non-inflatable) type has no re-test pressure to check against |
| Webbing strap | reject if cut, frayed beyond surface fibres, or UV-brittle |
| Light battery | reject once past the printed expiry date |
Ranges are typical for this design class. Always confirm against the manufacturer documentation for your serial number.
Critical spares
- Replacement whistle
- Replacement lifejacket light unit with battery
- Replacement retro-reflective tape
- Waist/crotch strap webbing
- Buckle/quick-release fitting set
Safety
- Compressed or degraded foam no longer provides SOLAS-required buoyancy
- Missing or expired light reduces visibility for man-overboard recovery at night
- Incorrect size for wearer's body weight reduces effectiveness
- Deteriorated straps can release under load in the water
Class survey
LSA item under SOLAS III - verified against the ship's LSA register and servicing certificates at Safety Equipment / Cargo Ship Safety Equipment surveys; class checks presence, condition, correct sizing for the crew complement, and that annual service records match the onboard inventory. Note: the source record's typ field ('Freefall Lifeboat') does not match this product, which is an inherent lifejacket - content above is written for the actual product.
