Class 1 indicates float-free operation. This means the survival equipment is designed to automatically detach from the vessel and float to the surface when release conditions are met, typically via a hydrostatic release unit. This feature is crucial because in a sinking or damaged vessel, the raft or device should separate and remain buoyant so you can locate and board it quickly, even if you can’t manually release it. The other options describe features that aren’t what Class 1 denotes—storing emergency data internally, using GPS for location, or being designed for surface-only use don’t capture the automatic detach-and-float capability that Class 1 represents.
