4 | Collaboration with Classification Societies:
Type Approval Certificate
It’s a certification indicating that the maritime sector’s products meet the standards set by the certifying authority (including class rules, national or international standards, or Flagstate regulations), through manufacturing processes governed by a quality management system.
Marine Equipment Directive
The Marine Equipment Directive (MED) certificate is an official document issued to marine equipment that meets the safety and quality standards specified by the European Union (EU). This certification demonstrates that the equipment complies with the essential requirements outlined in the MED, ensuring its suitability for use in maritime applications. The MED certificate is crucial for products listed in Directive Annexes such as life-saving appliances, fire protection equipment, and navigation systems used on ships sailing in EU waters.
Approved Manufacturer Certificate
Approved Manufacturer Certificate may be considered for certification or approval by the Classification Society, indicating their compliance with applicable requirements for maritime industry use.
Service Suppliers
This certificate confirms that the service supplier has demonstrated competency, expertise, and adherence to relevant standards and regulations in delivering specific services related to maritime operations, maintenance, or inspection.
Recreatinal Craft Directive CE Certificate
This certificate confirms that the recreational craft meets the essential requirements specified in the directive, ensuring its safety for users and minimizing environmental impact. It serves as proof that the watercraft has undergone assessment and testing to verify compliance with regulations related to design, construction, stability, buoyancy, and other relevant criteria. The RCD Certificate is required for placing recreational craft on the EU market and is essential for demonstrating compliance with regulatory requirements.
