Personal Floatation Devices (PFD's) are classified according to their intended use and their ability to perform as a lifesaving device, keeping the head clear of the water. A "type III" buoyancy device is called a Flotation Aid. It supports 15.5 lbs and is sufficient to keep an adult's head clear of the water in calm conditions.
