Under Irish legislation, an appropriate personal flotation device (lifejacket or buoyancy aid) must be carried for everyone onboard all vessels. Each device should provide sufficient positive buoyancy for the wearer in waters that are likely to be encountered, and each should be appropriate to the body weight of the person wearing it. It must also meet the required EN ISO standard for the type of personal flotation device.
