Valise or canister?
Zodiac liferafts are available in either a valise or a canister. When possible,
a canister is recommended to offer the best protection against wear and tear
and the elements. A canister can be left on deck or mounted in the stern
of a sailing yacht. A liferaft in a valise should be protected from the elements
and care should be taken to keep it clear from sharp objects. It will need to be
stored in a location that permits it to be brought on deck quickly and easily.
Quality Assurance RAQ1
Safety equipment must be 100% reliable and fail-safe to ensure that ZODIAC liferafts are built following a
strict quality control system. ZODIAC was the first nautical company to obtain RAQ-1 and ISO 9001 quality certification giving you assurance that every liferaft is rigorously checked at each stage of manufacture. |
