What is serviceable condition for a pfd?

A personal flotation device (PFD) is considered to be in serviceable condition if it is free from any visible damage, such as tears, punctures, or broken buckles. The buoyancy material should be intact and not waterlogged, and all straps and fasteners must function properly. Additionally, the PFD should be clean and free from mildew or odors. Regular inspections are essential to ensure ongoing safety and compliance with regulations.
