life jacket question

 Just been given a couple of older PFD Type 1 life jackets to use as spares but not sure they are still legal to use  . They are marked as Australian Standard AS1512 .

I know there is a newer standard but not sure if AS1512 can still be used .

Thanks Paul

You should have them

You should have them inspected by company who certifies offshore survival equipment. West Offshore Products in O'Connor is the company I use for inflatable life jacket re-certification.
