5. Lifejackets

 Lifejackets should be fitted with patches of retro-reflective materials with a total area of at least 400cm2 distributed so as to be useful for search from air and surface craft from all directions. In the case of a reversible lifejacket, the arrangement should be complied with no matter which way the lifejacket is put on. Such material should be placed as high up on the lifejacket as possible.
