Product safety bulletin, May 2009—Flotation toys and swimming aids

The ACCC is keen to alert suppliers to requirements of two new mandatory product safety standards: Flotation and aquatic toys and Swimming and flotation aids.

These new mandatory product safety standards replace a previous standard declared in March 1992 that covered similar categories of toys and equipment, and was based on Australian Standard (AS) 1900–1991, Flotation toys and swimming aids for children. This Australian standard has been revised and is now known as AS 1900–2002, Flotation aids for water familiarization and swimming tuition.
