Technical standards for recreational crafts
In order to be placed in the European Union (EU) market recreational crafts must meet the
essential requirements laid down by Directive 94/25/EC (OJ L-127 10/06/1995).
Product Scope
The provisions of the Directive apply to recreational crafts (including personnel watercrafts),
partly completed boats, components (listed in Annex II) and propulsion, outboard and stern
drive engines, as they are defined in article 1 paragraph 1.
The Directive does not cover certain products such as canoes, crafts intended only for racing,
crafts built for own use, crafts intended to carry passenger for commercial purposes, and
others, as listed in article 1 paragraph 2.
Essential requirements
The essential safety, health environmental protection and consumer protection requirements
are related to design and construction characteristics, exhaust emissions and noise emissions,
as they are defined in Annex I to the Directive.
Harmonised standards
Harmonised standards are technical specifications that would enable to meet the essential
requirements. Products manufactured according to these harmonised standards benefit from a
presumption of compliance with the essential requirements.
Harmonised standards are developed by the European Standardisation bodies: The European
Committee for standardisation (CEN) and the European Committee for Electrotechnical
standardisation (CENELEC) and published in the Official Journal of the European
Communities.
A list with harmonised standards for recreational crafts is available at:
http://europa.eu.int/comm/enterprise/newapproach/standardization/harmstds/reflist/recc
raft.html
Conformity assessment
The conformity assessment process is required to certify that products comply with the
essential requirements.
Depending on the type of product and the nature of the essential requirement the conformity
assessment procedure may require the compulsory intervention of a third party (Notified Body).
Notified Bodies are organisations designated by each Member State and notified to the
Commission and the other Member States, that are in charge of assessing manufacturer’s
conformity to the essential requirements.
Annexes III and V to XVII establish the conformity assessement procedures to be followed, the
technical files to be completed and the declaration of conformity to be submitted.
CE Marking
The CE marking symbolises the conformity of products with the essential requirements. When
a notified body has intervened in the conformity assessment procedure its identification number
must accompany the CE marking.
Legislation
Directive 94/25/EC on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions
of the Member States relating to recreational craft (OJ L-127 10/06/1995).
