PDF Type 2 - Definition
A PFD Type 2 garment is one that complies with the requirements of the Australian Standards approval code 1499 or 4758-50. It is required to provide sufficient buoyancy to assist the wearer to maintain his or her head above water, but not as much as a PFD Type 1 lifejacket. It is less bulky than a PFD Type 1, making it more suitable for applications when the wearer needs to move around or swim.
A PFD Type 2 is generally recommended for dinghy sailors and canoeists etc, who are required to wear a PFD for extended periods of time. Ensure to consult your State Authority for full details and requirements.
