That is if the cylinder ISNT full and the status indicator ISNT green. So if they are, then I take that as they are approved
Yes & No. Approved that it is a good working unit, YES. The key words here are "AND does not satisfy". You really need to be a lawyer here!!
I take it as, good or not as to "full cylinder and all status indicators" that they do not satisfy the (law) requirements to carry PDF on board. They don't float (unless auto ones deploy) if the boat goes down. Bottom line, law or no law, I would still carry the normal PDFs.
Anther point here is, there only counted if your wearing it and it is "all status indicators on the inflator must be green"
Enough said on this.
