Certifications & Standards
Internationally Recognized Safety Compliance
Every certification is verified by independent notified bodies and subject to annual surveillance audits.
CE Certification (EU 2016/425)
CE certification covers essential health and safety requirements for personal flotation devices and inflatable watercraft. TÜV Rheinland audits our production facility annually to verify ongoing compliance.
SOLAS — Safety of Life at Sea
SOLAS approval requires independent testing by a notified body for buoyancy, strength, visibility, and automatic activation. Our Life Vest Pro carries full SOLAS type approval with MED certification.
USCG Type III / Type V
USCG approval requires testing by a CG-recognized independent lab. Type V approval includes hybrid inflatable designs that require manual or automatic activation.
BSCI Social Compliance
BSCI compliance is a prerequisite for European retailers and importers. Our current BSCI rating is "C" (Good), audited by SGS.
REACH & RoHS Compliance
REACH compliance ensures no restricted SVHC substances above threshold limits. Regular third-party lab testing verifies ongoing compliance for every production batch.
ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management
ISO 9001 certification requires documented quality policies, internal audits, management reviews, corrective action procedures, and traceable production records.

How We Test for Safety
Working pressure inflation test — every chamber is inflated to 1.5x normal pressure for 30-minute air-retention validation
Buoyancy retention test — life vests are submerged for 24 hours to verify flotation performance
Every boat undergoes mandatory seam peel verification, air retention, and full systems check before shipping
“We've sourced safety equipment from multiple suppliers across Asia. Aquafarer is the only manufacturer that provided full CE documentation, SOLAS certificates, and third-party test reports upfront — without being asked.”
