Marine
These regulations are designed to ensure that ocean going vessels and equipment that is related to safety of life at sea (SOLAS) are approved to an internationally agreed level of safety.
In Europe equipment which is designated as SOLAS is covered by the Marine Equipment Directive (96/98/EC) which invokes the IMO Regulations. Typically the test specifications below are used to support these requirements which are a combination of insurance backed schemes and legislative requirements.By testing and complying to the relevant standards listed in the directive the ‘wheel mark’ can be achieved and applied to the product.
The 'wheel mark'
Whilst it should be noted that military vessels may need to meet dedicated military specifications, compliance with CE marking is also required. This means that for example a ship is designated as a ‘mobile installation’ by the EMC Directive (2004/108/EC) and hence would need to be approved as apparatus under that directive.
