Life Raft Painter Lines - Safety and Protection
Marine liferaft painter lines are strong flexible lines connecting an inflatable liferaft to the vessel or its hydrostatic release arrangement. They enable controlled deployment and inflation when the raft is launched manually or during vessel sinking.

Standards, Certifications & Class Approval
Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.
| Applicable Standards & Certification | Applicable requirements include SOLAS 1974, as amended, Chapter III; IMO International Life-Saving Appliance (LSA) Code; and IMO MSC.81(70), as amended, where applicable. ISO 9650 may apply to approved recreational or non-SOLAS liferafts. |
|---|---|
| Class Approval | Approval is normally covered by the complete liferaft and its approved equipment arrangement rather than by a generic loose painter line. Applicable vessel and equipment approvals may involve DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, or ClassNK. |
Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information
| Installation Notes | Install only the painter line specified by the liferaft manufacturer. Follow the approved routing, attachment point, weak-link arrangement, and hydrostatic release instructions. Do not shorten, knot, splice, or substitute the line without manufacturer approval. |
|---|---|
| Maintenance Tips | Inspect during scheduled liferaft servicing for chafing, cuts, chemical damage, UV degradation, corrosion of fittings, and insecure terminations. Replace if damaged, contaminated, out of specification, or beyond the service interval specified by the manufacturer. |
| Safety Notes | Do not stand in the bight or near the painter during deployment. Keep clear of snap-back and tensioned-line zones. Confirm correct attachment before launch and never use a painter line as a lifting sling or personnel-support line. |
