A snorkel allows the user to breathe, when swimming in a prone position, without having to raise the mouth out of the water. This European Standard specifies safety requirements in order to increase the safety in the use of snorkels for swimmers and divers. This European Standard is applicable to snorkels, which allow users to breathe at the water surface whilst floating with the face submerged. It covers snorkels used by swimmers and divers. This European Standard is not applicable to combined face masks and snorkels, in which the snorkel tube opens into face mask. The responsible German standardization committee is Working Committee NA 112-05-05 AA "Tauch-Zubehör" ("Diving accessories") at DIN Standards Committee Sports Equipment (NASport).
