Personal watercrafts intended to be operated by a single operator who either stands or kneels in a tray located behind a moveable handlepole are exempted from this SAE Standard.
This SAE Standard does not apply to outboard powered personal watercraft and jet powered surfboards.
Rationale:
Alignment with Section 16 of ISO 13590:2022. Most changes in this document are verbiage and document layout for increased clarification. There are some minor technical changes to align with ISO standards. The title was amended to account for the alternative braking system.
