はじめに船舶に搭載する舶用品は、海上人命安全条約（SOLAS 条約）等の国際条約や国際標準化機構（ISO）の標準等に基づいて旗国が定めた要件に適合することが必要であり、通常は、船舶に搭載する前に旗国の認証を取得しておくことが求められている。
舶用品の認証は、欧州においては、EU 指令により共通認証制度が設立されているものの、基本的にはそれぞれの旗国が独自に行っている。このため、ある舶用品を多くの国の船舶に搭載可能とするためには、それに応じた数の国から認証を取得することが必要となる。
舶用品の認証制度は、それぞれの国によって、適用する要件、適合性を確認するための試験方法、試験データを取得すべき試験機関、事業者の製造能力の確認方法等が異なっているのが現状である。このため、主要国の舶用品の認証制度を調査し、それらを比較する
ことによって、多くの国からの認証を効率的に取得することが可能となる。
加えて、認証された舶用品に不具合が発生した際の各国の対応を明らかにしておくこと
により、万が一の際のリスクを見積もることができ、当該国の市場への参入判断の一つとすることができる。
以上の観点から、他の主要国の認証制度との比較検討の基礎として活用していくため、欧州における舶用品の認証制度を調査し、我が国の舶用品の海外市場への展開の一助とす
べく、本調査を実施するものである。

However, despite ERS performing a comprehensive search of publicallyavailable documentation, there remained areas of the research briefing wherea lack of information meant further research was needed (the limited amountof English language information proved particularly problematic in someinstances).

1.8

In an attempt to fill these gaps, ERS then directly contacted a number of
relevant organisations. While not all of these requests (or follow up requests)
for information were successful a number of organisations did provide advice
and guidance on particular areas. These emails have been used throughout
the report. The table below summarises this stage of the research:

Note that while the version of the MED currently in effect is the 6th
amendment, the product numbers provided by JETRO correspond to the 7th
amendment, which shall be applied from 5 October 2012. Therefore it is the
7th amendment that provides the basis of this report. This difference isparticularly relevant to item A.1/4.57 (BNWAS) which moved from Annex A.2
to A.1, a change which has significant implications for product approval.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE ADMINISTRATION AND NOTIFIEDBODIES
Marine Equipment Directive Overview

2.1

The Marine Equipment Directive (MED) outlines information regarding thedesignation and inspection of Notified Bodies. It also outlines their
responsibilities.

2.2

Article 9 of the MED requires that Member States notify the European
commission and other member states, of the bodies they have designated tocarry out testing procedures together with the specific tasks which those
notified bodies have been designated to carry out and the identification
numbers assigned to them beforehand by the Commission.

2.3

The NANDO information system on the European Commission website
contains information regarding the designated Notified Bodies.

European Type Approval System – Draft Report8Key Features of the Marine Equipment Directive
2.4

The MED requires Member States to ensure notified bodies that assess thecompliance of equipment with testing standards are: “independent, efficientand professionally competent to carry out their tasks”.

2.5

The Directive outlines the minimum requirement to be taken into account by
Member States when designating Notified Bodies. Organizations wishing to
be designated as a Notified Body are to submit complete information to theMember State showing how they comply with these criteria. For information,these criteria are presented overleaf.

European Type Approval System – Draft Report9Minimum criteria to be taken into account by Member States for thedesignation of bodies
1. Notified bodies must fulfill the requirements of the relevant EN 45000 series.
2. A notified body must be independent and must not be controlled bymanufacturers or by suppliers.
3. A notified body must be established within the territory of the Community.
4. Where type-approvals are issued by a notified body on behalf of a Member
State, the Member State must ensure that the qualifications, technical experienceand staffing of the notified body are such as will enable it to issue type approvals
which comply with the requirements of this Directive and to guarantee a highlevel of safety.
5. A notified body must be in a position to provide maritime expertise.
6. A notified body is entitled to perform conformity-assessment procedures forany economic operator established within or outwith the Community.
7. A notified body may perform conformity-assessment procedures in any
Member State or State outwith the Community using either its home-basedmeans or the personnel of its branch office abroad.
8. If a subsidiary of a notified body performs conformity-assessment procedures,
all documents relating to the conformity-assessment procedures must be issued
by and in the name of the notified body and not in the name of the subsidiary.
9. A subsidiary of a notified body which is established in another Member State
may, however, issue documents relating to conformity-assessment procedures if
it is notified by that Member State.

European Type Approval System – Draft Report

10

2.6

Article 9 of the MED, requires Member States to notify the Commission andother Member States of the organizations they have designated as NotifiedBodies, as well as specifying the specific tasks the organizations have been
designated to carry out. This information is presented on the European
Commission ‘New approach Notified and Designated Organisations (NANDO)
Information System’ website.

2.7

While the MED states that Member States (or organizations acting on theirbehalf) should audit Notified Bodies, it makes no reference to any instructions
that can or should be issued. Similarly, the MED makes no reference to apersonnel exchange system between the administration and Notified Body.

2.8

Each country has appointed a range of Notified Bodies to perform tasks
related to MED These organizations, and details of the work they carry out,
are listed as Annex 6.

2.9

In the United Kingdom, SI 1999 no. 1957 outlines information for the UK
Government designating notified bodies. Essentially, this document statesthat for an organization to be designated as a Notified Body, it needs tosatisfy the minimum criteria specified in Annex C of the Directive. In the UK,
10 notified bodies have been designated.

2.10

In Germany, 3 notified bodies have been designated. National Legislation,
specifically Article 3 of “Schiffsausrüstungsverordnung” (or Marine Equipment
Regulation), states that the Notified Body should fulfill additionally therequirements of IMO Resolution A.739(18) and A.789(19) - as applicable.

2.11

According to Article 4.8 of the Marine Equipment Regulation, BSH is thecompetent authority for monitoring notified bodies on marine equipment inGermany.

Both

BMVBS

(Federal

MinistryofTransport,

Development) or BSH can give general instructions concerning theimplementation of MED or testing procedures if necessary. In order, toestablish and maintain the necessary independence of Notified Bodies
according to EN 45000 series, neither BMVBS nor BSH will intervene
regarding individual decisions in type approval or quality assurance
procedures. If BSH notice a possible non-conformity of a product, approvedby a Notified Body in Germany, BMVBS/BSH will ask for clarification andfurther actions if necessary. There is no personnel exchange in Germany
between the Administration and a Notified Body.
2.13

In Italy, 5 notified bodies have been designated.

2.14

In Norway, the Norwegian Maritime Agency state that in Norway the only
instruction that can be issued to a Notified Body is for them to retrieve a MED
certificate. There is no personnel exchange in Norway between the
Administration and a Notified Body. In Norway, 3 notified bodies have been
designated.

SUMMARY OF THE PROTOTYPE APPROVAL METHOD (MODULEB) AND PREPARATION BY APPLICANTS
Marine Equipment Directive Overview

3.1

As outlined in the MED, EC Type Examination (Module B) includes all theprocedures relative to the type approval. This module is always required andis to be considered preliminary to the Production Certification Modules.

3.2

Annex B of the directive outlines in more detail the requirements for thisstage.
Fees and Timescale

3.3

The fee necessary for obtaining a prototype approval and length of timerequired to complete the application process varies according to the Notified
Body and the item in question.

3.4

For example, BGV fees differ per item. They state they are a non-profit
Government agency and quote the following as examples (other items areapproximately the same price):

3.5



Non-combustible materials – 500eurosUpholstered furniture - 420euros

Other organisations say that they are unable to provide costs. For example,
GL state that more information is required before they can provide costs, thisinformation should include the following:General description of the product

Manuals for installation, use and maintenanceAssembly manufacturing drawings, material lists and schemes ofcomponents

European Type Approval System – Draft Report

13

3.6



Test reportsDescription of quality assurance system or copy of ISO 9001 certificate.

RINA state that they are unable to provide information on fees as theycalculated on a case by case basis.
Standard/Testing Protocols
United Kingdom

3.7

Information issued by the relevant UK Body (the MCA) states that there is no
standard or testing protocol other than those listed in A.1 of the Directive
necessary to be taken into account.

3.8

Specifically, MSN 1734, states that the products must satisfy the “applicableinternational standards”. This is defined to mean the equipment satisfies the
product testing standards specified in Annex A of MED and has been
manufactured in accordance with the EC conformity-assessment procedure
as set out in Annex B and has been labelled with the mark of conformity,
identification number and the last two digits of the year in which the mark wasaffixed as shown in Annex C to this Notice.
Italy

3.9

Correspondence with RINA confirms that all equipment included in Annex A.1
is to be certified according to the Directive with no further requirement fromthe Italian Administration.
What kind of test result is acceptable for a prototype approval? Is therea restriction or a standard on test facilities? Is a test report produced
by a test facility in Japan acceptable? Is an attendance of personnel ofa notified body (or the Administration) necessary?
MED requirements

European Type Approval System – Draft Report

14

3.10

The test result necessary for prototype approval varies depending on theequipment in question. The test results required for type approval are outlinedin the Directive.
United Kingdom

3.11

As outlined above, an acceptable test result has to meet the test result has tomeet the test result outlined in Annex A of the MED.

3.12

As outlined in Marine shipping notice MSN 1734, “type approval tests are to
be conducted at a United Kingdom Accreditation Services (UKAS) or
equivalent National Body accredited laboratory unless no such laboratory isavailable. In that instance, an alternative laboratory recognized by the Notified
Body as offering suitable and satisfactory guarantees of technical applicationof EN 45001 or ISO/IEC Guide 25 may be used”.

3.13

The notice also states that a Notified Body will agree with the applicant thelocation where the examination and necessary tests are to be carried out.
Germany

3.14

GL states that where testing is carried out in a laboratory, it should beapproved by the national authority (see attached) or be a facility accredited to
the relevant tests. Where the laboratory is not accredited, the test will have to
be witnessed by the Notified Body.

3.15

BGV state that the test is performed as required and to the standards fixed in
the latest MED. The manufacturer should inform BGV about the intended test
facilities. Generally, they ask that the facilities should have an accreditation
for the type of products tested. Further, as required by IMO, the manufacturer
has to use an IMO notified fire lab (as per FO.1/Circ.41). In case of large firetests, the test lab has to invite a national competent authority for participation

European Type Approval System – Draft Report15

as per FTP code requirement.

BGV can be performed anywhere in theworld, assuming that the facilities are accredited (or they are sure that theywork as per the accreditation requirements).
Italy
3.16

RINA confirms that test results are to comply with the requirement stated in
Annex 1 of the MED. RINA may accept tests carried out at labs accredited to
ISO 17021 by a national accreditation body or recognized by an
Administration. Accreditation/recognition is meant for the specific testing
standard which is to be listed in the accreditation/recognition certificate.
Attendance of RINA technician during the type tests is to be evaluated on acase by case basis.
Equipment already approved by another country (other than EU Member
States, USA, and EFTA countries)
Germany

3.17

GL state that placed on board an EC ship has to be approved according to
the MED (and/or MRA). Test reports, used for other approvals, issued by
testing laboratories which are accredited or recognised or acceptable to
the Notified Body based on further criteria, may be accepted independently of
their date for the conformity assessment.
Italy

3.18

RINA state that type tests might not be repeated depending on the lab having
performed the tests. Technical documentation is to be verified by RINA.

European Type Approval System – Draft Report16

Validity period for the prototype approval and revocation of approval
3.19

The MED makes gives no validity period for prototype approval nor does it
mention the scenario in which an approval may be revoked.
United Kingdom

3.20

MSN 1734 states the prototype approval will be valid for valid for a period of
up to 5 years.

3.21

Whilst the legislation doesn’t explicitly state the conditions under which an
approval may be revoked it does mention that the certificate refers only toequipment identical to that assessed.

3.22

It is also a condition of issue of the certificate that a manufacturer shallconsult with the Notified Body prior to the incorporation of any alteration to thebuild standard of the equipment for which the type approval certificate wasoriginally issued.
Germany

3.23

GL states that their prototype approval has a validity period of five years.
They comment that, providing the relevant standards and equipment haven’tchanged, the approval certificate can be renewed without re-testing.

3.24

If the relevant regulations or standards be amended during the validity of thiscertificate, the product is to be re-approved before being placed on board a
vessel to which the amended regulations or standards apply.

3.25

BGV states that their prototype approval is generally valid for 5 years.

3.26

The approval may be revoked, if the test report has been faked/manipulatedor (as in the case of Chemical protection suits) the item is moved from Annex
A.1 of the MED to Annex A.2.

European Type Approval System – Draft Report17

Italy3.27

RINA state that approval is valid for 5 years, unless a different duration is
specified in the reference standard.

3.28

RINA may suspend and/or withdraw a certificate in the event of serious noncompliance on the part of the Manufacturer – for example:
significant non-conformities of the manufactured product or in the
manufacturing process, with respect to the technical documentation
submitted to RINA;

3.29



serious shortcomings detected in service;significant changes made to the product without notifying RINA;

unpaid fees.

Certification may also be withdrawn in the event of changes to the applicablestandards and/or requirements which the Manufacturer is, or deems he is,unable to comply with.

3.30

Both the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure and the European
Commission are to be notified of such withdrawals.

3.31

Annex B of the MED states that with regards to Module B, the applicant must
inform the notified body that holds the technical documentation concerning
the EC type-examination certificate of all modifications to the approved
product.

3.32

Modifications must receive additional approval where such changes may
affect compliance with the requirements or the prescribed conditions for use

of the product. Such additional approval must be given in the form of anaddition to the original EC type-examination certificate.
United Kingdom
3.33

MSN 1734 states that “if any modifications are made to equipment in respectof which an EC type-examination certificate has been issued, the applicant
shall inform the Notified Body that issued the certificate”.

3.34“If any modifications are such that they may affect the equipment’s
compliance with applicable international standards, the Notified Body shallsatisfy itself, by further examinations and tests if necessary, that theequipment as modified complies with the applicable international standards
and, if so satisfied, shall approve the modifications to the equipment andissue an addition to the original EC type examination certificate in respect
thereof”.
Germany

3.35

GL states that the manufacturer should inform the Notified Body of any
modifications or changes to the approved equipment.

3.36

BGV states that changes to the prototype are generally not allowed. If‘cosmetic’ changes are envisaged then they ask that manufacturers informthem beforehand about their intentions using the application for modification
form (See attached).
Italy

3.37

RINA states that the manufacturer of the ship is to inform the Notified bodyabout any change to the product. Depending on the modification,recertification may be required for the product. This process will be based ona full or partial reassessment (to be decided on a case by case basis.

SUMMARY OF THE METHOD TO CONFIRM THE IDENTITY OF A
PRODUCT WITH THE PROTOTYPE (MODULES D, E, F) AND
PREPARATION BY APPLICANTS
Marine Equipment Directive Overview

4.1

Following on from Type approval, the second stage of the certification
process requires compliance with production control modules.

4.2

Whilst a range of modules fall under this stage of MED certification, only
Modules D, E and F are to be considered in this research. The aims of thesemodules are summarized below (note that more information regarding theModules is available in Annex B of the MED).
Module D

4.3

Module D (Production Quality Assurance) consists of the verification by the
Notified Body of the quality assurance system applied by the Manufacturer for
production, inspection and testing during fabrication and on the finishedproduct in order to obtain the reasonable presumption that the marketed
products conform to the type described in the applicable EC Type
Examination Certificate (Module B) and satisfy the requirements of theapplicable international standards.
Module E

4.4

Module E (Product Quality Assurance) consists of the verification by the
Notified Body of the quality control system applied by the Manufacturer for thetesting of the finished product in order to obtain the reasonable presumptionthat the marketed products conform to the type described in the applicable
EC Type Examination Certificate (Module B) and satisfy the requirements of
the applicable international standards.

European Type Approval System – Draft Report20Module F
4.5

Module F (Product Verification) consists of the examination and testing by the
Notified Body of each single product or of products sampled on a statisticalbasis for each homogeneous production in order to ascertain that the
products conform to the type described in the applicable EC Type
Examination Certificate (Module B) and satisfy the requirements of theapplicable international standards.
Germany

4.6

Note that BGV states that it does not conduct Module F certification due tothe process requiring more manpower than they have available. Therefore,
unless otherwise stated, all BGV information in this section refers to Modules
D and/or E.
How much fee is necessary for the confirmation of a product with
prototype (Modules D, E, F) and how long time does it take from theapplication?
Germany

4.7

As with Module B approval, GL states that further information is required
before they can provide detail regarding time scales of fees. Again, thisinformation should include:

General description of the product

Manuals for installation, use and maintenanceAssembly manufacturing drawings, material lists and schemes ofcomponents



Test reportsDescription of quality assurance system or copy of ISO 9001 certificate.

European Type Approval System – Draft Report

21

4.8

BGV states that it does not charge lump-sum prices for surveillance audits.
Instead they charge per hour. Each man-hour is charged at 100euros with thetravelling times charged at 30euros an hour. The tests are carried out by a
product specialist (who normally carries out the type approval tests) and aquality specialist (an auditor). These can be the same person.

4.9

The time between application and certification varies depending on factors such as the location of the manufacture’s premises, availability of staff andwhether the audit reveals concerns or deficiencies – but it can be less than a
week.

4.10

BGV states that it always tries to schedule jobs to minimize travel time andtherefore reduce costs.
Italy

4.11

As with prototype approval, RINA state that fees are calculated on a case bycase basis.
What is the validity period for the approval?

4.12

The MED gives no direction as to the period for which Modules D, E, and F
should be valid.
Germany

4.13

GL states that modules D and E have a validity period of five years each.
Module F has no validity period.

4.14

BGV states that modules D and E are valid for three years each, althoughannual audits have to be carried out.
ItalyEuropean Type Approval System – Draft Report

22

4.15

RINA states that modules D and E have are valid for three years each. The
validity of Module is unlimited.
With regard to Modules D and E, what is the requirement for theapproval?

Is the requirement for the approval identical with that ofISO9000? Is it necessary to have a management system of ISO9000
itself certified by notified body or other bodies?
Marine Equipment Directive Overview
4.16

The quality system required for Module D has to fulfil the requirements
described in Annex B of the directive. Information of particular relevance isreproduced copied overleaf.

The quality system must ensure that the products conform to type as
described in the EC type-examination certificate.
All

the

elements,

requirements

andprovisions

adoptedbythemanufacturer must be documented in a systematic and orderly manner inthe form of written policies, procedures and instructions. The qualitysystem documentation must permit a consistent interpretation of thequality programmes, plan, manuals and records.
It must, in particular, include an adequate description of:
the quality objectives and the organizational structure, responsibilities andpowers of the management with regard to product quality;
the manufacturing, quality-control and quality-assurance techniques,

the quality records, such as inspection reports and test data, calibration
data, qualification reports of the personnel concerned, etc.,
the means of monitoring the achievement of the required product quality
and the effective operation of the quality system.

4.17

Module E quality system requirements are also described in Annex B of thedirective. Information of particular relevance is reproduced below.

European Type Approval System – Draft Report24Module E
Under the quality system, each product must be examined andappropriate tests must be carried out in order to ensure its compliancewith the relevant requirements of the international instruments. All theelements, requirements and provisions adopted by the manufacturer must
be documented in a systematic and orderly manner in the form of written
policies, procedures and instructions. That quality-system documentationmust ensure common understanding of the quality programmes, plans,
manuals and records.
It must, in particular, include an adequate description of:

data, qualification reports of the personnel concerned, etc.

European Type Approval System – Draft Report25Germany
4.18

GL states that an ISO9001 certification is not mandatory but isrecommended. GL also state that a combination of ISO 9001:2008
certification and MED conformity assessment by GL would lead to a reductionof time and costs.

4.19

BGV states that a quality system certification is not necessary, as long as the
manufacturers system ensures the quality aims as required by the directive
are met.
Italy

4.20

According to MED rules issued by RINA ‘For the purpose of issuing of Module
D, the Manufacturer is to operate a quality system for production and final
product inspection and testing of products already certified in accordance with
Module B, at least equivalent to the harmonized standard EN ISO 9001:2000
in respect of those aspects dealt with in the previous harmonized standard
EN ISO 9002:1994. This system is to be subject to surveillance by RINA’.

4.21

The same rules state that for Module E the manufacturer is ‘to operate aquality system for final product inspection and testing at least equivalent to
the harmonized standard EN ISO 9001:2000 in respect of those aspects dealt
with in the previous harmonized standard EN ISO 9003:1994. This system is
to be subject to surveillance by RINA’.

European Type Approval System – Draft Report26With regard to Modules D and E, does a notified body visit the
production site to check the management system in situ? How about
the case the manufactures have ISO9000 certification?

Are annual

audits conducted by the notified body? What is the procedure for the
renewal of the approval?
Marine Equipment Directive Overview
4.22

The MED states that for Modules D and E surveillance, the manufacturer
must allow the notified body access for inspection purposes to the locations of
manufacture, inspection and testing and storage.

4.23

The MED also states that for Module D, the notified body must periodically
carry out audits to make sure that the manufacturer maintains and applies thequality system and must provide the manufacturer with audit reports.

4.24

In addition, the notified body may pay unannounced visits to the
manufacturer. During such visits the notified body may carry out tests or
cause tests to be carried out to check that the quality system is functioning
correctly, if necessary. The notified body must provide the manufacturer witha visit report and, if a test has taken place, with a test report.

4.25

The MED makes no reference to the procedure to be followed for renewal.
Germany

4.26

GL confirms that the assessment procedure must include a visit to the
manufacturer’s production site and that surveillance audits are required. They
mention that the audit for ISO 9001:2008 certification and MED conformity
assessment could be combined.

4.27

GL states that to renew the certification the Notified body has to carry out arenewal audit. This is made after an application has been made by the
manufacturer.

European Type Approval System – Draft Report

27

4.28

In respect of BGV, they state that a quality system certification is notnecessary, as long as the manufacturer's system ensures the quality aims as
required by the Directive are met. They may accept other notified body's
audits if they are sure they are qualified and the scope of the products is thesame (e.g. breathing apparatuses, which are as well falling under thePressure Equipment Directive).
Italy

4.29

The certification procedures applied by RINA vary according to whether or not
manufactures have a quality system certified by RINA. The information below
assumes that they do not have a quality system certified by RINA.

4.30

RINA state that Modules D and E are subject to surveillance by RINA.
Chapter 4 in the attached RINA rules contains more information about thecycle of surveillance, both Modules are subject to an initial audit which takes
place at the manufactures premises and then annual audits over a three year
cycle (in addition, Module D is subject to six-monthly audits for complex or
critical products – decided on a case by case basis).

4.31

RINA reserves the right to pay unannounced visits to the Manufacturer’s
premises, carrying out tests or causing tests to be carried out to check thatthe quality system management is functioning correctly.

4.32

RINA state that upon completion of each three-year surveillance cycle theassessment of the quality management system is repeated for renewal of thecertificate.

4.33

The potential for less information being required for some relaxation of thecertificate.

European Type Approval System – Draft Report

28

4.34

When the manufacturer does have a quality system certified by RINA, has aquality system certified by a recognized organization other than RINA or
produces products already certified by RINA in accordance with the MED
Directive then there is the potential for either less information to be requiredor for certain aspects of the certification process to be relaxed.
With regard to Module F, what are the requirements for approval? Howmuch samples are takes from the products?
Marine Equipment Directive Overview

4.35

Module F requirements are described in Annex B of the directive. Informationof particular relevance is reproduced overleaf.

European Type Approval System – Draft Report29Module F
The notified body must carry out the appropriate examinations and tests in order to check that the
product complies with the requirements of the international instruments either by examination andtesting of every product or by examination and testing of products on a statistical basis, at the
choice of the manufacturer.
Verification by examination and testing of every product - All products must be individually
examined and appropriate tests must be carried out in order to verify their conformity to type as
described in the EC type-examination certificate. The notified body must affix its identification
symbol or cause it to be affixed to each approved product and draw up a written certificate ofconformity relating to the tests carried out.
The manufacturer or his authorized representative established within the Community must ensurethat he is able to supply the notified body's certificate of conformity on request to the flag Member
State administration
Statistical Verification - The manufacturer must present his products in the form of homogeneouslots and must take all measures necessary to ensure that the manufacturing process ensures thehomogeneity of each lot produced.
All products must be available for verification in the form of homogeneous lots. A random sample
must be drawn from each lot. Products in a sample must be individually examined andappropriate tests must be carried out to ensure that they comply with the requirements of theinternational instruments which apply to them and to determine whether the lot is to be acceptedor rejected.
In the case of accepted lots, the notified body must affix its identification symbol or cause it to beaffixed to each product and must draw up a written certificate of conformity relating to the tests
carried out. All products in the lot may be put on the market except those products from thesample which are found not to comply.
If a lot is rejected, the notified body or the competent authority must take appropriate measures toprevent that lot's being put on the market. In the event of frequent rejection of lots the notified
body may suspend statistical verification.
The manufacturer may, under the responsibility of the notified body, affix the latter's identification
symbol during the manufacturing process.
The manufacturer or his authorized representative established within the Community must ensurethat he is able to supply the notified body's certificates of conformity on request to the flag
Member State administration.

European Type Approval System – Draft Report30Germany
4.36

GL confirms that it uses the requirements for approval as outlined in Annex Bof the MED.

4.37

Each sample taken by GL shall, as far as practical, consist of “a single type,
grade, class, size and composition, manufactured under essentially the same
conditions and at essentially the same time. The manufacturer is responsiblefor defining the composition of a lot in agreement with his chosen notified
body. This may be in accordance with a suitable generic or specific standard,
i.e. ISO 2859 or EN 3 Pt 6”.

4.38

As stated above, BGV does not generally conduct Module F certification.
However, they do state their concerns that the MED says nothing about theminimum standards that have to be met regarding the lot size and how muchof each lot has to be tested.
Italy

4.39

RINA rules split Module F verification into two sections – ‘verification of single
products’ and ‘verification of product lots’.

4.40

Where RINA consider the products to be complex (i.e. composed of many
parts of different origins assembled together) or not manufactured in a series,
all items of certified equipment are to be individually examined and tested.

4.41

RINA rules state that upon completion the manufacture of one or more ofthese products, the Manufacturer is to contact RINA and request the testingof the items produced.

4.42

The appropriate examinations and tests in order to check that the productcomplies with the requirements of the international standards are carried out
in the presence of a RINA Surveyor.

European Type Approval System – Draft Report

31

4.43

Each marked product is to be unequivocally identified by means of the serial
number or other methods ensuring that it is impossible for a marked productwhich has not been tested to be put on the market.

4.44

Where RINA consider the products to be simple (i.e. not composed of many
parts of different origins assembled together) and/or manufactured in series,
they are to be presented for statistical verification in the form of homogeneous
lots.

4.45

Upon completion of the manufacture of one or more lots the manufacturer is
to contact RINA and request the testing of the items produced.

4.46

The appropriate examinations and tests in order to check that the productcomplies with the requirements of the international standards are carried out
on a statistical basis in the presence of a RINA surveyor.

4.47

In general, a lot consists of those products of a single type, grade, class,dimensions and composition manufactured in the same conditions and during
a reasonable period of time. It is the responsibility of the Manufacturer toestablish the lot composition and to agree upon it with RINA. In general, thecomposition of the lot is to be established in accordance with the indication of
specific standards, such as, for instance, ISO 2859 or EN 3 Pt 6. At least one
random sample is drawn from each lot; the specimens are individually
examined and appropriate tests are carried out to ensure that they comply
with the requirements of the international instruments which apply to them.
Prior to examination and testing, the sampling and acceptance criteria are to
be agreed between the Manufacturer and RINA on a case-by-case basis
taking into account the specific standards, such as those indicated above.

European Type Approval System – Draft Report

32

4.48

Subject to the satisfactory outcome of this examination and testing, a ProductVerification Certificate (Module F) is issued and the Manufacturer isauthorised to mark each item of equipment belonging to the approved lot.
Each approved lot is to be unequivocally identified on the single products (oron their packaging), by means of the serial number or other methods (forexample the period of manufacture) ensuring that it is impossible for marked
products belonging to a lot which has not been subjected to the prescribed
tests to be put on the market.

ROLE OF THE ADMINISTRATION IN THE SYSTEM, ESPECIALLY,
IN CASE OF OCCURRENCE OF NON-CONFORMITYMarine Equipment Directive Overview

5.1

Article 13 of MED 96/98 contains information of most relevance to thissection. This is reproduced below:

Where a Member State ascertains by inspection or otherwise that, notwithstanding the factthat it bears the mark, a piece of equipment referred to in Annex A.1, when correctly
installed, maintained and used for its intended purpose, may compromise the health and/or
safety of the crew, the passengers or, where applicable, other persons, or adversely affectthe marine environment, it shall take all appropriate interim measures to withdraw thatpiece of equipment from the market or prohibit or restrict its being placed on the market or
being used on board a ship for which it issues the safety certificates. The Member State
shall immediately inform the other Member States and the Commission of that measureand indicate the reasons for its decision and, in particular, whether non-compliance withthis Directive is due to:(a) failure to comply with Article 5 (1) and (2);(b) incorrect application of the testing standards referred to in Article 5 (1) and (2); or(c) shortcomings in the testing standards themselves. The Commission shall enter into
consultation with the parties concerned as soon as possible. Where, after suchconsultation, the Commission finds that: the measures are justified, it shall immediately so
inform the Member State which took the initiative and the other Member States; where thedecision referred to in paragraph 1 is attributed to shortcomings in the testing standards,
the Commission shall, after consulting the parties concerned, bring the matter before theCommittee referred to in Article 18(1) within two months if the Member State which hastaken the decision intends to maintain it, and shall initiate the regulatory procedure referred
to in Article 18(2); the measures are unjustified, it shall immediately so inform the Member
State which took the initiative and the manufacturer or his authorized representative
established within the Community.

European Type Approval System – Draft Report34How does the Administration conduct market survey? How many typesof products and how many pieces of products did it buy for survey?
What is the budget for this activity? How does it decide the number ofsamples?
Marine Equipment Directive Overview
5.2

Article 12 of the MED states that each Member State may take the measuresnecessary to ensure that sample checks are carried out on equipment
bearing the mark which is on its market and which has not yet been placed on
board, in order to ensure that it complies with this Directive. Sample checks
which are not provided for in the modules for conformity assessment in Annex
B shall be carried out at the expense of the Member State.

5.3

After the installation of equipment which complies with this Directive on board
a Community ship, evaluation by that ship's flag State administration of that
equipment shall be permitted when operational on-board performance tests
are required by international instruments for safety and/or pollutionprevention purposes, provided that they do not duplicate the conformityassessment procedures already carried out. The flag State administration
may require the manufacturer of the equipment, his authorized representative
established within the Community or the person responsible for marketing theequipment within the Community to provide the inspection/testing reports.

5.4

The MED provides no further information as to the procedures or budget forthis market survey.
Regulation 765/2008

5.5

In addition, Regulation 765/2008 provides a framework for the market
surveillance of products to ensure that those products fulfill requirements
providing a high level of protection of public interests.

European Type Approval System – Draft Report35United Kingdom
5.6

The UK approach to market surveillance is outlined in the “Statutory
Instrument 1999 no 1957 ‘The Merchant Shipping (Marine Equipment)
Regulations 1999” and “Marine Guidance note MGN 178 (M+F)”.

5.7

UK Market Surveillance does not involve the preproduction type-examinationof the product; it only applies to products after they are placed on the market
and before they are placed on board a ship. Sample checking of equipment
for supply in the UK but not yet placed on board a ship will take place in thefollowing ways:

5.8

By MCA personnel visiting chandlers, marine equipment suppliers andmanufacturers storage facilities to inspect the products available, take detailsof the label or tally plate in particular to note details of the wheelmark, Notified
Body identification number, year of application and all testing standards
references. They will also make a general inspection of the product.

5.9

By owners, superintendents or masters of vessels reporting to the Maritime
and Coastguard Agency any equipment they are offered which they consider
does not meet the standards of the Marine Equipment Directive.

5.10

By ships’ chandlers or other marine equipment outlets reporting equipment
not in compliance with the MED, especially when labels or tally plates are
missing or incomplete.

5.11

Equipment can be evaluated after installation on board a UK ship providingthat only operational performance tests required by the international
instruments for safety and/or pollution prevention are conducted and do not
duplicate the conformity-assessment procedures already carried out. This
aspect of market surveillance will be carried out by:

5.12

MCA surveyors undertaking safety surveys or general inspections.

5.13

Owners, superintendents or masters reporting problems with equipment after
installation and MCA carrying out follow up inspections.

5.14

Classification Society surveyors conducting safety surveys on behalf of the
MCA and reporting their findings to the MCA who will carry out follow up
action.
Germany

5.15

BSH state that their market surveillance differs according to whether it isactive or reactive. ‘Active’ according to Regulation (EC) No. 765/2008 means
BSH draw up a market surveillance programme each year. BSH decides whatkind of monitoring should be carried out depending on the information theyreceive from economic operators, notified bodies and the media etc. One
possibility is to check the relevant documents like Declaration of Conformity
or the relevant certificates. Another possibility is the technical verification of
products. The number of products depends on the requirements of theinternational instruments and the relevant testing standards listed in Annex
A.1 of the MED and the scheduled scope of testing. Usually the testing scope
covers only a part of the type approval procedure as market surveillance
activities should only be carried out randomly.

5.16‘Reactive’ market surveillance relies on concrete information of productdeficiencies. Depending on the nature of the deficiency, BSH decides whether
the technical documents or the product itself should be tested.

5.17

Presently BSH has a budget of 400.000 € per year for these activities.
NorwayEuropean Type Approval System – Draft Report

5.18

The Norwegian Maritime Authority comment that their market surveillance isbased either on received reports of non conformance or own findings from
inspections.

5.19

They comment that there types and quantities of products involved in themarket varies on a case by case basis.

5.20

There is no specific budget allowance designated for market surveillance in
Norway.
When the Administration is notified that an approved product that is notin conformity to the requirement in the Directive is in the market, what
does it do? Is there a procedure for such a case?
Marine Equipment Directive Overview

5.21

Article 13 of the MED outlines the procedure for when a members state
ascertains that equipment is not in conformity with the directive. The key
points of this article are:5.22

The member state takes all appropriate interim measure to withdraw thepiece of equipment from the market or prohibit or restrict its being placed on
the market or being used on board a ship for which it issues the safety
certificates.

5.23

The member state immediately informs the other member states and theCommission of that measure and indicate the reasons for its decision.

5.24

The Commission shall enter into consultation with the parties concerned assoon as possible to ascertain whether the measures are justified or not.

5.25

The Commission ensures that the Member States are kept informed of the
progress and outcome of this procedure.

European Type Approval System – Draft Report38United Kingdom
5.26

The UK’s approach to non-conformity is outlined in the “Statutory Instrument
1999 no 1957 ‘The Merchant Shipping (Marine Equipment) Regulations
1999”. This document states that should equipment be defective it may be
withdrawn from the market, be prohibited from being placed on the market, or
restrict the extent to which it can be placed or prohibit the equipment being
used on board ships for which the UK Government he issues safety
certificates in accordance with the relevant international conventions, or
restrict the extent to which it may be so used.

5.27

Before issuing any direction, prohibition or restriction on equipment, a written
notice of intention will be served and shall provide the manufacturer or his
authorized representative (as appropriate) with an opportunity to makerepresentations to him on the proposed direction, prohibition or restriction.

5.28

Any direction, prohibition or restriction issued shall be given in writing to the
manufacturer of the equipment, or his authorized representative in theCommunity. Any direction, prohibition or restriction may be withdrawn if theGovernment is satisfied that the equipment no longer compromises healthand safety or the environment.
Germany

5.29

In Germany the procedure is laid down in Art. 20 and 21 of Regulation (EC)
No: 765/2008, Art 13 of the MED and national law in Germany.

5.30

The market surveillance measures taken should be based on the interests ofusers and economic operators under consideration of the risk and theprinciple of proportionality.

European Type Approval System – Draft Report

39

5.31

According to Art 13 MED if a product compromises the health and/or safety of
the crew, the passengers or other persons or adversely affects the marine
environment, market surveillance authorities should take all appropriate
interim measures to withdraw that piece of equipment from the market or
prohibit or restrict its being placed on the market or being used on board a
ship.
Norway5.32

The Norwegian Maritime Authority state that they act in accordance with theappropriate MED article.
Are there measures other than the market survey to find out a productthat is not in conformity in the market?
Norway5.33

The Maritime Authority has no other measures beyond the market survey tofind instances of non-conformity on the market.
Can the Administration order the manufacturer to collect its productthat is not in conformity (“recall system”)?
Marine Equipment Directive Overview

5.34

As stated above, Article 13 of the MED outlines the recall system available tomember states.

5.35

Article 19 of Regulation (EC) no 765/2008 also allows for the recall of
products not in conformity with the market.
Is there a penalty to the manufacturer to put a product that is not in
conformity in the market?

5.37

A manufacturer who fails to comply with a direction, prohibition or restriction
given to him shall be guilty of an offence. The penalty for this, upon summaryconviction, is a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum and on conviction
on indictment by imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or a fine,or both.

5.38

In any proceedings for an offence under these Regulations it shall be a
defense for the person charged to prove that he took all reasonable steps to
avoid the commission of the offence.

5.39

In any case where equipment on board a ship does not comply with therequirements of these Regulations, or the owner of a ship has not compliedwith a direction to replace equipment on board the ship, the ship shall be
liable to be detained.

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 96/98/EC
of 20 December 1996
on marine equipment
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, andin particular Article 84 (2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 189c of
the Treaty (3),(1)

Whereas within the framework of the common transport policy
further measures must be adopted to ensure safety in maritime
transport;(2)

Whereas shipping accidents are a matter of serious concern to theCommunity, in particular those that cause loss of human life andpollution of the Member States' seas and coastlines;(3)

Whereas the risk of shipping accidents can be effectively reducedby means of common standards that ensure high safety levels in
the performance of the equipment carried on board ships; whereas
testing standards and testing methods can have great influence on
the future performance of equipment;(4)

Whereas international conventions require flag States to ensurethat the equipment carried on board ships complies with certain
safety requirements and to issue the relevant certificates; whereas
to that end testing standards for certain types of marine
equipment have been developed by the international standard‫ڐ‬ization bodies and by the International Maritime Organization(IMO); whereas the national testing standards implementing theinternational standards leave a margin of discretion certification
authorities, which themselves have different levels of qualifi‫ڐ‬cations and experience; whereas that leads to varying levels ofsafety for products which the competent national authorities havecertified as complying with the relevant international safety
standards and to great reluctance on the part of Member Statesto accept that without further verification ships flying their flags
carry equipment approved by other Member States;(1) OJ No C 218, 23. 8. 1995, p. 9.

Whereas common rules must be laid down to eliminate
differences in the implementation of international standards;
whereas such common rules will result in the elimination of
unnecessary costs and administrative procedures relating to theapproval of equipment, the improvement of operating conditions
and of the competitive position of Community shipping and theelimination of technical barriers to trade by means of the mark ofconformity affixed to equipment;(6)

Whereas in its resolution of 8 June 1993 on a common policy onsafe seas (1) the Council urged the Commission to submit
proposals for harmonizing the implementation of IMO standards
and the procedures for the approval of marine equipment;(7)

Whereas action at Community level is the only possible way ofachieving such harmonization, since Member States acting inde‫ڐ‬
pendently or through international organizations cannot establish
the same level of safety performance in equipment;(8)

Whereas a Council Directive is the appropriate legal instrument
as it provides a framework for uniform and compulsory appli‫ڐ‬
cation of the international testing standards by Member States;(9)

Whereas it is appropriate in the first place to address equipment
the carriage of which on board ship and the approval of which bynational administrations in accordance with safety standards laid
down in international conventions or resolutions is mandatory
under the main international conventions;(10)

Whereas there are various Directives that ensure the freemovement of certain products which could be used inter alia,
as equipment on board ships but which do not concern theMember States' certification of equipment in accordance withthe relevant international conventions; whereas equipment to beplaced on board ships must therefore be regulated exclusively by
new common rules;(11)

Whereas new testing standards must be laid down, preferably atinternational level, for equipment for which such standards do notalready exist or are not sufficiently detailed;(12)

Whereas Member States should ensure that the notified bodies
that assess the compliance of equipment with testing standards
are independent, efficient and professionally competent to carryout their tasks;(1) OJ No C 271, 7. 10. 1993, p. 1.

Whereas compliance with international testing standards can best
be demonstrated by means of conformity-assessment procedures
such as those laid down in Council Decision 93/465/EEC of
22 July 1993 concerning the modules for the various phases of
the conformity-assessment procedures and the rules for theaffixing and use of the CE conformity marking, which areintended to be used in the technical harmonization Directives (1);(14)

Whereas nothing in this Directive restricts the right granted to aflag State administration by international conventions to carry out
operational-performance tests on board a ship for which it has
issued a safety certificate, provided such tests do not duplicate theconformity-assessment procedures;(15)

Whereas equipment covered by this Directive should, as a generalrule, bear a mark to indicate its compliance with the requirementof this Directive;(16)

Whereas Member States may in certain cases take provisional
measures to limit or prohibit the use of equipment bearing themark of conformity;(17)

Whereas the use of equipment not bearing the mark ofconformity may be allowed in exceptional circumstances;(18)

Whereas a simplified procedure involving a regulatory committee
must be followed for the amendment of this Directive,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1
The purpose of this Directive shall be to enhance safety at sea and theprevention of marine pollution through the uniform application of therelevant international instruments relating to equipment listed in Annex

buyers of a Ship or other product or system surveyed.
These documents and activities do not relieve such parties fromany fulfilment, warranty, responsibility, duty or obligation (also of acontractual nature) expressed or implied or in any case incumbent
on them, nor do they confer on such parties any right, claim orcause of action against the Society. With particular regard to theduties of the ship Owner, the Services undertaken by the Society
do not relieve the Owner of his duty to ensure proper maintenanceof the Ship and ensure seaworthiness at all times. Likewise, theRules, surveys performed, reports, certificates and other documents issued by the Society are intended neither to guarantee thebuyers of the Ship, its components or any other surveyed or certified item, nor to relieve the seller of the duties arising out of thelaw or the contract, regarding the quality, commercial value orcharacteristics of the item which is the subject of transaction.
In no case, therefore, shall the Society assume the obligations
incumbent upon the above-mentioned parties, even when it isconsulted in connection with matters not covered by its Rules orother documents.
In consideration of the above, the Interested Party undertakes torelieve and hold harmless the Society from any third party claim,
as well as from any liability in relation to the latter concerning theServices rendered.

between the Society and the Interested Party is entered into, whichis regulated by the present General Conditions.
4.2. – In consideration of the Services rendered by the Society, theInterested Party and the person requesting the service shall bejointly liable for the payment of the relevant fees, even if the service is not concluded for any cause not pertaining to the Society.

For every termination of the contract, the fees for the activities performed until the time of the termination shall be owed to the Society as well as the expenses incurred in view of activities alreadyprogrammed; this is without prejudice to the right to compensation due to the Society as a consequence of the termination.
With particular reference to Ship classification and certification,
unless decided otherwise by the Society, termination of the contract implies that the assignment of class to a Ship is withheld or, if
already assigned, that it is suspended or withdrawn; any statutory
certificates issued by the Society will be withdrawn in those cases
where provided for by agreements between the Society and theflag State.
Article 55.1. - In providing the Services, as well as other correlated information or advice, the Society, its Surveyors, servants or agents

loss, damage or expense of whatever nature sustained by any person, in tort or in contract, derived from carrying out the Services.
5.2. – Notwithstanding the provisions in paragraph 5.1 above,should any user of the Society's Services prove that he has suffereda loss or damage due to any negligent act or omission of the Society, its Surveyors, servants or agents, then the Society will pay
compensation to such person for his proved loss, up to, but notexceeding, five times the amount of the fees charged for the specific services, information or opinions from which the loss or damage derives or, if no fee has been charged, a maximum of one
hundred thousand Euro. Where the fees charged are related to anumber of Services, the amount of the fees will be apportioned forthe purpose of the calculation of the maximum compensation, byreference to the estimated time involved in the performance of theService from which the damage or loss derives. Any liability forindirect or consequential loss, damage or expense is specifically
excluded. In any case, irrespective of the amount of the fees
charged, the maximum damages payable by the Society will not
be more than 1 million Euro. Payment of compensation under thisparagraph will not entail any admission of responsibility and/or
liability by the Society and will be made without prejudice to thedisclaimer clause contained in paragraph 5.1 above.
5.3. - Any claim for loss or damage of whatever nature by virtue ofthe provisions set forth herein shall be made to the Society in writing, within the shorter of the following periods: THREE MONTHS
from the date on which the Services were performed or THREE
MONTHS from the date on which the damage was discovered.
Failure to comply with the above deadline will constitute an absolute bar to the pursuit of such a claim against the Society.
Article 6
6.1. - Any dispute arising from or in connection with the Rules orwith the Services of the Society, including any issues concerning
responsibility, liability or limitations of liability of the Society, will
be determined in accordance with Italian Law and settled througharbitration assigned to a board of three arbitrators who will proceed in compliance with the Rules of the Chamber of Nationaland International Arbitration of Milan. Arbitration will take placein Genoa, Italy.

In the case of actions taken against the Society by a third party
before a public Court, the Society shall also have the right to summon the Interested Party or the subject who requested the Service
before that Court, in order to be relieved and held harmlessaccording to art. 3.5 above.
Article 77.1. - All plans, specifications, documents and information provided by, issued by, or made known to the Society, in connection
with the performance of its Services, will be treated as confidential
and will not be made available to any other party other than the
Owner without authorisation of the Interested Party, except as provided for or required by any applicable international, European ordomestic legislation, Charter or other IACS resolutions, or orderfrom a competent authority. Information about the status andvalidity of class and statutory certificates, including transfers,changes, suspensions, withdrawals of class, recommendations/conditions of class, operating conditions or restrictions issued
against classed ships and other related information, as may berequired, may be published on the website or released by othermeans, without the prior consent of the Interested Party.
Information about the status and validity of other certificates andstatements may also be published on the website or released byother means, without the prior consent of the Interested Party.
7.2. - Notwithstanding the general duty of confidentiality owed by
the Society to its clients in clause 7.1 above, the Society's clients
hereby accept that the Society will participate in the IACS Early

It is the Owner's duty toensure that, whenever required, the consent of the builder isobtained with regard to the provision of plans and drawings to the
new Society, either by way of appropriate stipulation in the building contract or by other agreement.
In the event that the ownership of the ship, product or system subject to certification is transferred to a new subject, the latter shallhave the right to access all pertinent drawings, specifications, documents or information issued by the Society or which has come to
the knowledge of the Society while carrying out its Services, even
if related to a period prior to transfer of ownership.
Pursuant and owing to Italian legislative decree 196/2003, theInterested Party declares that it has read the information sheet concerning the processing of personal data published on the society's
website and gives its consent to such processing, also for commercial information purposes.

56MARINE EQUIPMENT AND APPLICABLE
STANDARDS

DUTIES OF INTERESTED PARTIESInterested parties (Manufacturers, testing laboratories, etc.)
involved in the certification in accordance with these Rules
are take the necessary measures so that RINA Surveyors
can carry out surveys and tests in complete safety. In thisregard it assumes with respect to Surveyors all the
responsibility of employers for their workforce such as tomeet the provisions of applicable legislation.
As a rule, when in attendance the RINA Surveyor is to beaccompanied by personnel representing the interested
party and is to have free access to all areas where it isnecessary to carry out inspections required to verify
compliance with the Rules.
Free access is also to be given to auditors and/or
inspectors from authorities or external bodies within thescope of vertical audits of RINA’s own performance.

Annexes A.1 and A.2 to the MED Directive indicate thereference parts of the applicable international instruments,
the testing standards and the procedures for the evaluationof conformity for each item of equipment to be EC certified.
The equipment listed in Annex A.2 to the MED Directive is
not subject to these Rules but is indicated for reference
only.
The MED Directory is mandatory for all equipment listed in
Annex A.1 to the MED Directive intended for Community
ships. Certification in accordance with the MED Directive
requirements of marine equipment that is not listed in

Chapter 2 – Certification procedures

1of the finished product in order to obtain the reasonable
presumption that the marketed products conform to thetype described in the applicable EC Type Examination
Certificate (Module B) and satisfy the requirements of theapplicable international standards.

GENERAL

The MED Directive envisages a certification process
consisting of the following two steps:
 type approval,
 production control.
Both steps are to be completed before the equipment is puton the market.
In particular cases relative to individual products, for which
individual certification is requested, the two steps are
combined (see [2.2.7]).
2

CERTIFICATION SCHEMES

2.1

Modules

2.2.6 Module F
Module F (Product Verification) consists of theexamination and testing by the Notified Body (RINA) of
each single product or of products sampled on a statisticalbasis for each homogeneous production in order toascertain that the products conform to the type described in
the applicable EC Type Examination Certificate (Module B)
and satisfy the requirements of the applicable international
standards.
2.2.7 Module G

The MED Directive contemplates one certification scheme
for type approval, several certification schemes for
production certification and one scheme for the individual
approval of the products. These schemes are briefly
indicated by the word “Modules”. There are currently sevenmodules indicated with the letters from B to H.
Fig. 1 shows a diagram of the Module structure used forevaluating conformity as laid down by the MED Directive.
2.2

Module G (Verification of Single Product) consists of acomplete examination by the Notified Body (RINA) of a
product which, due to its complexity or peculiarity, is
produced in a single unit. This type of product does not
require an applicable EC Type Examination Certificate(Module B).
2.2.8 Module H

Meaning of the production modules

Module H (Total Quality Assurance) consists of theverification by the Notified Body (RINA) of the quality
assurance system applied by the Manufacturer for thedesign, manufacturing, production, inspection and testing
during fabrication and on the finished product in order toobtain the reasonable presumption that the marketed
products conform to the type described in the applicable
EC Type Examination Certificate (Module B) and satisfy therequirements of the applicable international standard.
Module H differs from Module D in that it includes design
activities and therefore the verification required for theissue of Module B is not necessary.
At present the MED Directive does not allow certification
with Module H of any of the equipment listed in Annex A.1
to the Directive. Therefore, this Module is to be treated as apossible certification scheme for new products that might
be considered in future editions of the MED Directive.

2.2.1 General
The production modules indicated in the MED Directive andshown in Fig. 1 have the meanings described from [2.2.2]
to [2.2.8].
2.2.2 Module B
Module B (EC Type Examination) includes all theprocedures relative to the type approval. This module isalways required and is to be considered preliminary to the
Production Certification
Module, notwithstanding theprovisions in [2.2.7] and [2.2.8] for Modules G and H.
2.2.3 Module C
Module C (Conformity to Type) is a Manufacturer’s
declaration that the products conform to the type describedin the applicable EC Type Examination Certificate (ModuleB) and satisfy the requirements of the applicableinternational standards.
At present the MED Directive does not allow certification
with Module C of any of the equipment listed in Annex A.1
to the Directive. Therefore, this Module is to be treated as apossible certification scheme for new products that might
be considered in future editions of the MED Directive.

2.3

Selection of the certification scheme

For each product, the possible procedures for conformity
assessment and for the consequent issuing of certificatesby RINA are given in the tables of Annex A.1 of theapplicable MED Directive. Where the tables of Annex A.1
to the applicable Directive indicate alternative certification
paths among those indicated in Fig. 1, the Manufacturer
may choose the one most suitable among those allowed. In
any event, once a scheme has been selected, all theequipment produced and certified is considered equivalentirrespective of the Modules used.

2.2.4 Module D
Module D (Production Quality Assurance) consists ofthe verification by the Notified Body (RINA) of the quality
assurance system applied by the Manufacturer for
production, inspection and testing during fabrication and on
the finished product in order to obtain the reasonable
presumption that the marketed products conform to thetype described in the applicable EC Type Examination
Certificate (Module B) and satisfy the requirements of theapplicable international standards.

2.4

Uniqueness of the certification

Certification according to the MED Directive of the same
product by more than one Notified Body is not permitted.
Therefore, the Manufacturer is to declare that the same
application for certification has not been lodged
simultaneously with any other Notified Body.
However, a Manufacturer may apply for production
certification to a Notified Body other than the one thatissued the applicable EC Type Examination Certificate(Module B).

2.2.5 Module E
Module E (Product Quality Assurance) consists of theverification by the Notified Body (RINA) of the quality
control system applied by the Manufacturer for the testing3

Chapter 2 – Certification proceduresof one or more products having Module B certificate issued
by another Notified Body. In such cases the certificate
issued by RINA in accordance with the applicableproduction module is to be considered equivalent to RINA
authorisation to market the product.

Therefore, it is possible that a Manufacturer requests fromRINA only the issue of the EC Type Examination Certificate(Module B); in such case it must be clear that the issue of
this certificate by RINA does not authorise the
Manufacturer to market the product.
It is also possible that a Manufacturer requests RINA tocertify in accordance with Module D, E or F the production

VALIDITY CONDITIONS FOR EC TYPE
CERTIFICATES (MODULE B)

3.1

Certificate validity

The Marine Equipment EC Type Examination Certificate(Module B) is valid for 5 years, unless a different durationis specified in the reference standard. At the request of the
Manufacturer, RINA renews the certificate subject to thesatisfactory outcome of the relevant assessment incompliance with the applicable provisions of theinternational instruments.
RINA reserves the right to request the repetition of all orpart of the type tests in connection with the renewal of thecertificate.
If the reference standard requires the repetition of the type
tests with a frequency greater than the certificate validity,
RINA will consider on a case-by-case basis whether thesetests are to be attended by a Surveyor. In any case, theManufacturer is to keep detailed test reports to be madeavailable to RINA whenever requested.
If, during the certificate’s period of validity, the reference
standards are modified in such a way as to affect theconformity of the product to the applicable standard, thecertificate will no longer be considered valid starting fromthe date of entry into force of such modifications.

2.2.4

Acceptance of tests carried out by other
Notified Bodies
In case type approval tests are partially or fully carried out
under the supervision of a MED Notified Body or of a
Notified Body of another EU Directive dealing with thesame product (e.g. personal protective equipment
directive), RINA reserves the possibility to accept therelevant testing reports provide that:a) the test standards are the same required by MED andused in the last applicable revisionb) the testing reports comply with the requirements of[2.2.3].

Generald)the technical documentation for the approved type anda copy of the EC Type Examination Certificate (Module
B).
Where this certificate has been issued by a Notified Body
other than RINA, RINA may request the Manufacturer tosubmit the test reports on the basis of which the other
Notified Body issued the type certificate (Module B).
RINA will examine the documentation and inform the
Manufacturer whether it is sufficient or whether additional
documents are necessary.

For the purpose of issuing of Module D, the Manufacturer is
to operate a quality system for production and final productinspection and testing of products already certified inaccordance with Module B, at least equivalent to theharmonised standard EN ISO 9001:2000 in respect of
those aspects dealt with in the previous harmonised
standard EN ISO 9002:1994. This system is to be subject
to surveillance by RINA.
1.2

1.3.2 Audit of first assessment
The aim of the initial surveillance audit is to assess thequality assurance system adopted by the Manufacturer withparticular reference to the production line(s) of the
product(s) to be certified.
In general, as far as possible, the audit is to be scheduled
so that it takes place during the actual manufacture of the
product(s) to be certified.
Within the framework of the audit, particular attention is tobe paid to the following documentation relative to the
product(s) to be certified:quality management system documentation;
inspection reports;
reports of tests performed on manufactured products;
testing equipment calibration data;
qualifications of the personnel concerned.
It will also need to be verified that copies are available atthe Manufacturer’s premises of the MED Directive and of
the technical standards applicable to the product(s)manufactured and that quality records are kept for thetimes prescribed in the MED Directive.
In the course of the audit, as far as possible, the Surveyor
is to witness the tests carried out by the Manufacturer
during the various stages of manufacturing and for the final
acceptance of the product(s) in order to verify compliancewith the applicable requirements.
Upon completion of the audit, the RINA Surveyors draw up
the relevant report and provide the Manufacturer with acopy.

Quality system

All the elements, requirements and provisions adopted by
the Manufacturer are to be documented in a systematic andorderly manner in the form of written procedures andinstructions. The quality system documentation is to permit
a consistent interpretation of the quality programs, plan,
manuals and records.
The quality system documentation is to include, inparticular, an adequate description of:a) the quality objectives and the organisational structure,
responsibilities and powers of the management withregard to product quality;b) the manufacturing, quality control and quality

1.3

1.3.3

Issue of the certificate and authorisation tomark the products
Subject to the satisfactory outcome of the audit, RINA
issues an EC Production Quality Assurance Certificate(Module D) to the Manufacturer for each product to becertified. The certificate or the annex to the certificate
includes reference to the Marine Equipment EC Type
Examination Certificate (Module B) of the relevant product.
The data contained on the certificates relative to the
products are communicated to the European Commission
and subsequently published on the RINA INTERNET web
page.
Upon receipt of the EC Production Quality Assurance
Certificate (Module D), the Manufacturer is authorised toaffix the CE mark (wheel mark followed by the RINA
number, see Chapter 7, [2]) to all products covered by thecertificate coming from the production line, without any
further intervention by RINA.

Assessment of Manufacturers with quality
system not certified by RINA

The assessment of the Manufacturer’s quality system isconducted by means of an examination of the
documentation and an audit of first assessment at his
premises.
These activities are carried out in accordance with thecriteria
contained
inthe“RULESFORTHE
CERTIFICATION OF QUALITY SYSTEMS”.
1.3.1 Documentation to be submitted
Prior to the assessment, the Manufacturer is to supply
RINA with the following documentation:a) the quality documentation as per 1.2 above;b) all the procedures affecting the manufacture andtesting of the products to be certified;c) an undertaking to fulfil the obligations arising from thequality system and to uphold it so that it remains
adequate and efficient;

1.3.4 Unsatisfactory result of the assessment
Should the surveillance be considered unsatisfactory, RINA
notifies the Manufacturer of the findings detected and thereasons for which the certificate cannot be issued.
The applicant may not submit a further application forcertification until he has made all those modifications to the8Rules for the certification of marine equipment in accordance with European Directive 96/98/EC and subsequent amendments
Chapter 4 – Production control through the quality assurance and/or control system assessment (Modules D and E)

quality system and/or to the production line(s) of the
product(s) to be certified which are necessary to meet theapplicable requirements.

1.3.7 Suspension and/or withdrawal of thecertification
Should serious failures be detected in the course of
periodical surveillance such as to show that the quality
management system no longer complies with theapplicable requirements, RINA notifies the Manufacturer ofthe reasons for which the certificate cannot be endorsed
and immediately suspends the certification for all those
products which could be affected by the failure detected,
indicating the serial number from which the suspension
takes effect and/or any other information necessary to
identify the products suspended.
Any items of equipment manufactured during the period ofsuspension may be marked and marketed, provided thatthey are subjected to individual testing, in accordance withthe applicable requirements, where this is possible andprovided for by the MED Directive (Module F).
Upon completion of the corrective actions necessary,
subject to the satisfactory outcome of a RINA audit toassess their effectiveness, the suspension lapses and the
Manufacturer is notified of this by RINA.
In the event that the non-conformities that led to thesuspension are not rectified by the agreed deadline, RINA
withdraws the certification and notifies the Manufacturer
accordingly.
The applicant may not submit a further application forsurveillance until he has made all those modifications to thequality system which are necessary to meet the applicablerequirements.

1.3.5 Periodical surveillance
The maintenance of Module D is subject to the satisfactory
outcome of three-year surveillance cycles consisting of thefollowing audits:annual audits of the quality assurance system;
six-monthly audits of the production line(s) of the
product(s) certified. These audits are required only forcomplex or critical products, as decided on a case-bycase basis;renewal audits of the quality assurance system at thestart of a new three-year period (see item 1.3.6).
Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the surveillance cycle.
The aim of periodical surveillance is to verify that the quality
assurance system adopted by the Manufacturer, withparticular reference to the production line(s) of the
product(s) certified, is maintained over time.
When the periodical surveillance becomes due, RINA andthe Manufacturer agree on the date and the necessary
arrangements.
The periodical surveillance is to be carried out within a«time window» of two months with respect to the official
due date: i.e. not more than 30 days before and not morethan 30 days after the date shown on the certificate. For
each periodical audit, this calculation should be based on
the date of the initial periodical surveillance, irrespective ofthe date on which the last periodical audit was actually
carried out.
Within the framework of the annual surveillance audit of thequality system, in addition to the general quality
management system aspects randomly audited using arotation criteria, the following aspects relative to the
product(s) certified are always to be verified for all products
for which a Production Quality Assurance Certificate(Module D) has been issued:
inspection reports;
reports of tests performed on manufactured products;
testing equipment calibration data;
qualifications of the personnel concerned.
If intermediate six-monthly surveys are foreseen, these
aspects are also the subject of the intermediate six-monthly
audits. Aspects of the general management system notdirectly correlated to the product do not need to be verified
during these surveys.
If possible, in the course of the audits, the Surveyor is towitness the inspections and tests carried out by the
Manufacturer during the various stages of manufacturing
and for the final acceptance of the product(s).
Upon completion of their intervention, the RINA Surveyors
draw up the relevant report, provide the Manufacturer witha copy and endorse the EC Production Quality Assurance
Certificate (Module D), extending its validity until the date of
the next scheduled periodical audit.
RINA reserves the right to pay unannounced visits to the
Manufacturer’s premises, carrying out tests or causing
tests to be carried out to check that the quality systemmanagement is functioning correctly.

1.4

Manufacturers with quality system certified by
RINA

The procedure described in 1.3 is applied, with thefollowing modifications:
it is necessary to submit at least the documentation as
per 1.3.1 b) and d); in any event, RINA reserves theright to require further documents;
an initial audit is to be conducted at least equivalent tothe six-monthly audit of the production line(s)described in 1.3.7;
periodical surveillance is to be conducted at least
equivalent to the six-monthly survey of the productionline(s) described in 1.3.7.
Annual audits are harmonised as far as possible with thedates of the periodical surveys in connection with the
Manufacturer’s quality system certification.
1.5

Manufacturers with quality system certified by arecognised Organisation other than RINA

The same provisions apply as described in 1.3 for
Manufacturers with a quality system not certified by RINA.
However, some relaxation of the certification process may
be considered at the discretion of RINA on a case-by-casebasis.
1.6

Manufacturers with products already certified
by RINA in accordance with the MED Directive

Where a Manufacturer that produces a product certified by
RINA in accordance with Module D of the MED Directive
submits a request to certify other products, RINA decides inrelation to the peculiarity of the new product(s) whether or
not to carry out an initial assessment.
The periodical surveillance audits for such products areharmonised with the surveys due for the other products.

1.3.6 Renewal of the certification
Upon completion of each three-year cycle, the assessmentof the quality management system as stated in items 1.3.1
and 1.3.2 is repeated for renewal of the certificate.

Type Approval of Marine Equipment (EC NotifiedBodies)
Notice to Manufacturers, Shipbuilders, Shipowners, Ship Operators and Managers, Designers
and Marine Consultants, Masters and Officers of Merchant Ships, Skippers of Fishing Vessels
and Owners of Yachts and Pleasure Craft
This Notice supersedes Merchant Shipping Notice No.M.1645 and MGN 43. The following text is to be inserted
in MSN 1688 - end of para 1, and MSN 1714 - end of para 3:‘In the case of a ship of a Member State of the European Union, the performance standards applicable toequipment installed on or after 1 January 1999 are specified in the Merchant Shipping (Marine Equipment)
Regulations 1999, as they may be amended from time to time.’

Summary
The purpose of the Marine Equipment Directive is to enhance safety at sea and the prevention ofmarine pollution through the uniform application of the relevant international instruments relating
to marine equipment for which EC type approval safety certificates are issued. This Notice gives
information and guidance about the procedures for obtaining type approval in conformity with the
Directive through Notified Bodies nominated by the United Kingdom.
Key Points:● In recent years there has been significant development of specifications and testing requirements
for many items of equipment which should ensure that equipment is manufactured to consistent
standards.
● To gain type approval, equipment must satisfy testing standards and be manufactured inaccordance with the EC conformity-assessment procedure as set out in Annex A of this Notice. The
conformity assessment modules referred to in Annex A are contained in Annex B.
● The advantages of this type approval process are that the equipment will be accepted without
detailed examination of each individual item on EU flagged ships and the shipowner can purchaseequipment with similar assurance.
●

The Directive will ensure the free movement of such equipment within the Community.

Introduction

1.1

The Merchant Shipping (Marine Equipment)
Regulations 1999 SI (1999 No 1957) provide
for the “type approval” of marine equipment,of a safety or pollution prevention nature, foruse on board United Kingdom ships. Thislegislation implements the European
Community (EC) Directive 96/98/EC of 20
December 1996 on Marine Equipment and98/85/EC of 11 November 1998. Directive
98/85/EC contains an Annex A whichamends Annex A of Council Directive
96/98/EC. After 30 April 1999, the testing
standards in the amended Annex A must be
used to obtain an EC type approval certificate. However, for equipment manufactured
between 1 January 1999 and 30 April 1999,
manufacturers may use the testing standards
contained in Annex A of 96/98/EC.
1

1.2

The MCA has nominated organisations listed
in Annex 1 of this Notice and accordingly
those bodies are nominated as “NotifiedBodies” (as referred to in the MerchantShipping (Marine Equipment) Regulations
1999) to carry out approvals and undertakethe examination, testing and certification of
the equipment listed in Annex A of thisNotice.

2Type Approval Procedure

2.1

The application procedure for TypeApproval for EC type-examination can befound at Annex 2.

2.2

The manufacturer or his authorised representative established within the community,
must in respect of an EC type-examination
certificate issued to him, keep a copy of thetechnical documentation submitted with theapplication and the EC type-examination certificate and any additions to it, for at least 10
years after the last item of equipment that thecertificate relates to has been manufactured.

3.

Issue of Type Approval

3.1

Providing that the Notified Body is satisfied
the equipment complies in all respects withthe specifications laid down by international
standards and the relevant conformity-assessment procedure as described in Annex B isfollowed, subject to the provisions below, theNotified Body will issue a certificate of typeapproval in respect of the equipment stating
the terms and conditions of approval. All newcertificates of type approval will be valid fora period of up to 5 years.

.2 it has been manufactured in accordancewith the EC conformity-assessment procedure as set out in Annex B and has beenlabelled with the mark of conformity,
identification number and the last two digits of the year in which the mark wasaffixed as shown in Annex C to thisNotice.

3.2

A certificate of type approval refers only toequipment identical to that assessed. It is alsoa condition of issue of the certificate that amanufacturer shall consult with the Notified
Body prior to the incorporation of any alteration to the build standard of the equipment
for which the type approval certificate wasoriginally issued.

1.6

Unless there is a change in the required standards, existing type approved equipment
already fitted on board ship will continue tobe accepted providing it operates satisfactorily. If it needs to be replaced, it must be
replaced with equipment which complies
with the MS (Marine Equipment)
Regulations 1999.

3.3

Notified Bodies may require further testing
and assessment to be undertaken in the eventof a modification, or series of modifications,being considered to constitute sufficient
departure from the build standard of theequipment that the certificate of typeapproval was originally issued.

4.

Information About Type Approvals

1.7

Equipment requiring type approval for new
ships or existing ships should be typeapproved to the latest standards. The replacement of certain original equipment on existing ships is acceptable provided that equipment is approved to the appropriate international standard. If there is any doubt either
the MCA or Notified Body should be contacted for clarification.

Introduction

1.1

The Merchant Shipping (Marine Equipment) Regulations 1999 (SI 1999 No 1957, amended
by S.I. 2009 No. 2021) (“the Regulations”) provide for the "type approval" of marine
equipment, of a safety or pollution prevention nature, for use on board United Kingdom
ships, and on board other ships as set out in regulation 4 of those Regulations. The
Regulations, together with Merchant Shipping Notice MSN 1734 (M+F)) implement Council
Directive 96/98/EC of 20 December 1996 on Marine Equipment (Official Journal No. L315,
25.11.98, p.14) (“the MED”).

2.
2.1

Amendments to Directive and to MSN 1734 (M+F) Annex A.1
In response to further changes to the testing standards developed by those organisations
listed in Article 2(n) of the MED, the European Commission issued Directive 2010/68/EU
amending the MED (O.J. No. L 305. 20.11.2010). This amending Directive, which is
required to be applied by Member States of the European Union from 10th December
2011, makes two provisions:(a) Article 1 and the Annex to the Directive revoke and replace Annex A to the MED.
(b) Article 2 of the Directive provides that equipment manufactured before10 December
2011, in accordance with the type-approval procedures in place at its time of
manufacture, can continue to be placed on the market and on board a ship for the twoyear period until10 December 2013.

2.2

On 10 December 2011 Annex A.1 to MSN 1734 is revoked and replaced by Annex A tothis Merchant Shipping Notice. This replacement of Annex A.1 implements in UK law asfrom that date the revocation and replacement of Annex A.1 to the MED.

2.3

On 10 December 2011 the transitional arrangements set out in Article 2 of the Directive
are implemented in UK law by the following provisions in Annex A.1 to this MerchantShipping Notice. These transitional arrangements are created in respect of equipment
listed in the new Annex A.1 which is newly listed, or which formerly appeared in Annex
A.2 of the MED.
2.3. (1) Where **Trans is marked against an Item number in Annex A, the equipment
need not satisfy the otherwise applicable standards in circumstances where the conditions
in either paragraph (2) or (3) apply.
2.3. (2) In respect of equipment placed on the market, supplied for use or exposed forsupply within the UK on or before 10 December 2013 , the conditions are that theequipment was manufactured in accordance with the procedures for type-approval in force
in a member State immediately before 10 December 2011.
2.3 (3) In respect of equipment placed on or before 10 December 2013 on board a ship
the relevant safety certificate of which was issued by or on behalf of a member State inaccordance with the relevant international convention, the condition is that the equipment
was manufactured in accordance with the procedures for type approval in force in amember State immediately before 10 December 2011.

Note: These conditions relate to transitional provision in Directive 2010/68/EU and are relevant
for the purposes of the Merchant Shipping (Marine Equipment) Regulations 1999 as amended
by the Merchant Shipping (Marine Equipment) (Amendment) Regulations 2009.

ANNEX A.1: EQUIPMENT FOR WHICH DETAILED TESTING STANDARDS ALREADY
EXIST IN INTERNATIONAL INSTRUMENTS
Notes applicable to the whole of Annex A.1a) General: in addition to the testing standards specifically mentioned, a number of provisions,which must be checked during type-examination (type approval) as referred to in the modules
for conformity assessment in Annex B, are to be found in the applicable requirements of theinternational conventions and the relevant resolutions and circulars of the IMO.
b) Column 1: Items where transitional arrangements apply are marked *Trans or **Trans andappropriate footnote appliesc) Column 5: Where IMO Resolutions are cited, only the testing standards contained in
relevant parts of the Annexes to the Resolutions are applicable and exclude the provisions of
the Resolutions themselves.
d) Column 5: International conventions and testing standards apply in their up-to-date version.
For the purpose of identifying correctly the relevant standards, test reports, certificates ofconformity and declarations of conformity shall identify the specific testing standard applied
and its version.
e) Column 5: Where two sets of identifying standards are separated by “or”, each set fulfils all
the testing requirements to meet IMO Performance Standards; thus testing to one of thesesets is sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of the relevant International
Instruments. Conversely, when other separators (comma) are used all the listed references
apply.
f) Column 6: Where module H appears, module H plus design-examination certificate is to beunderstood.
g) The requirements laid down in this annex shall be without prejudice to carriage
requirements in the international conventions.

REGULATION (EC) No 765/2008 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 9 July 2008
setting out the requirements for accreditation and market surveillance relating to the marketing ofproducts and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 339/93(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE
EUROPEAN UNION,(3)This Regulation should be seen as complementary to
Decision No 768/2008/EC of the European Parliament andof the Council of 9 July 2008 on a common framework forthe marketing of products (3).

(4)

It is very difficult to adopt Community legislation for every
product which exists or which may be developed; there is aneed for a broad-based, legislative framework of ahorizontal nature to deal with such products, to coverlacunae, in particular pending revision of existing specificlegislation, and to complement provisions in existing or
future specific legislation, in particular with a view toensuring a high level of protection of health, safety, theenvironment and consumers, as required by Article 95 of
the Treaty.

(5)

The framework for market surveillance established by thisRegulation should complement and strengthen existing
provisions in Community harmonisation legislation relating to market surveillance and the enforcement of suchprovisions. However, in accordance with the principle of lex
specialis, this Regulation should apply only in so far as there
are no specific provisions with the same objective, nature oreffect in other existing or future rules of Community
harmonisation legislation. Examples can be found in thefollowing sectors: drug precursors, medical devices, medicinal products for human and veterinary use, motor
vehicles and aviation. The corresponding provisions of thisRegulation should not therefore apply in the areas coveredby such specific provisions.

(6)

Directive 2001/95/EC of the European Parliament and of
the Council of 3 December 2001 on general productsafety (4) established rules to ensure the safety of consumer
products. Market surveillance authorities should have thepossibility of taking the more specific measures available tothem under that Directive.

(7)

However, in order to achieve a higher level of safety for
consumer products, the market surveillance mechanisms
provided for in Directive 2001/95/EC should be reinforced
as regards products presenting a serious risk, in accordancewith the principles established by this Regulation. Directive 2001/95/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 95 and 133 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic andSocial Committee (1),After consulting the Committee of the Regions,

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251of the Treaty (2),Whereas:(1)(2)

It is necessary to ensure that products benefiting from thefree movement of goods within the Community fulfil
requirements providing a high level of protection of public
interests such as health and safety in general, health andsafety at the workplace, protection of consumers, protection of the environment and security, while ensuring thatthe free movement of products is not restricted to any
extent greater than that which is allowed under Community
harmonisation legislation or any other relevant Community
rules. Provision should, therefore, be made for rules on
accreditation, market surveillance, controls of products
from third countries and the CE marking.

It is necessary to establish an overall framework of rules andprinciples in relation to accreditation and market surveillance. That framework should not affect the substantive
rules of existing legislation setting out the provisions to beobserved for the purpose of protecting public interests suchas health, safety and protection of consumers and of theenvironment, but should aim at enhancing their operation.

Accreditation is part of an overall system, including
conformity assessment and market surveillance, designed
to assess and ensure conformity with the applicablerequirements.

(9)

The particular value of accreditation lies in the fact that itprovides an authoritative statement of the technicalcompetence of bodies whose task is to ensure conformity
with the applicable requirements.

as an activity that is not intended to add any gain to theresources of the body's owners or members. While national
accreditation bodies do not have the objective of maximising or distributing profits, they may provide services in
return for payment, or receive income. Any excess revenue
that results from such services may be used for investment
to develop their activities further, as long as it is in line with
their main activities. It should accordingly be emphasisedthat the primary objective of national accreditation bodies
should be to support or engage actively in activities that are
not intended to produce any gain.

(10) Accreditation, though so far not regulated at Community(15) Since the purpose of accreditation is to provide anlevel, is carried out in all Member States. The lack ofcommon rules for that activity has resulted in different
approaches and differing systems throughout the Community, with the result that the degree of rigour applied in theperformance of accreditation has varied between Member
States. It is therefore necessary to develop a comprehensive
framework for accreditation and to lay down at Community
level the principles for its operation and organisation.

(11) The establishment of a uniform national accreditation bodyauthoritative statement of the competence of a body to
perform conformity assessment activities, Member Statesshould not maintain more than one national accreditationbody and should ensure that that body is organised in sucha way as to safeguard the objectivity and impartiality of its
activities. Such national accreditation bodies should operate
independently of commercial conformity assessment activities. It is therefore appropriate to provide that Member
States ensure that, in the performance of their tasks,
national accreditation bodies are deemed to exercise publicauthority, irrespective of their legal status.

should be without prejudice to the allocation of functions
within Member States.
(16) For the assessment and continued monitoring of the(12) Where Community harmonisation legislation provides forthe selection of conformity assessment bodies for its
implementation, transparent accreditation, as provided forin this Regulation, ensuring the necessary level ofconfidence in conformity certificates, should be consideredby the national public authorities throughout the Community the preferred means of demonstrating the technicalcompetence of those bodies. However, national authorities
may consider that they possess the appropriate means ofcarrying out this evaluation themselves. In such cases, inorder to ensure the appropriate level of credibility ofevaluations carried out by other national authorities, theyshould provide the Commission and the other Member
States with the necessary documentary evidence demonstrating the compliance of the conformity assessment
bodies evaluated with the relevant regulatory requirements.

(13) A system of accreditation which functions by reference tobinding rules helps to strengthen mutual confidence
between Member States as regards the competence ofconformity assessment bodies and consequently thecertificates and test reports issued by them. It thereby
enhances the principle of mutual recognition and therefore
the provisions of this Regulation on accreditation should
apply in relation to bodies carrying out conformity
assessments in both the regulated and the non-regulatedareas. The issue at stake is the quality of certificates and test
reports irrespective of whether they fall within the regulatedor the non-regulated area, and no distinction should
therefore be made between those areas.

(14) For the purposes of this Regulation, not-for-profit opera-tion by a national accreditation body should be understoodcompetence of a conformity assessment body, it is essential
to determine its technological knowledge and experienceand its ability to carry out assessment. It is therefore
necessary that the national accreditation body possess therelevant knowledge, competence and means for the proper
performance of its tasks.

(17) Accreditation should in principle be operated as a self-

supporting activity. Member States should ensure that
financial support exists for the fulfilment of special tasks.

(18) In those cases where it is not economically meaningful orsustainable for a Member State to establish a national
accreditation body, that Member State should have recourse
to the national accreditation body of another Member Stateand should be encouraged to have such recourse to thefullest extent possible.

(19) Competition between national accreditation bodies could

lead to the commercialisation of their activity, which would
be incompatible with their role as the last level of control in
the conformity assessment chain. The objective of thisRegulation is to ensure that, within the European Union,
one accreditation certificate is sufficient for the wholeterritory of the Union, and to avoid multiple accreditation,
which is added cost without added value. National
accreditation bodies may find themselves in competitionon the markets of third countries, but that must have noeffect on their activities inside the Community, or on thecooperation and peer evaluation activities organised by the
body recognised under this Regulation.

L 218/32

EN

Official Journal of the European Union(20) In order to avoid multiple accreditation, to enhance

acceptance and recognition of accreditation certificates
and to carry out effective monitoring of accredited
conformity assessment bodies, conformity assessment
bodies should request accreditation by the national
accreditation body of the Member State in which they are
established. Nevertheless, it is necessary to ensure that a
conformity assessment body is able to request accreditationin another Member State in the event that there is nonational accreditation body in its own Member State orwhere the national accreditation body is not competent toprovide the accreditation services requested. In such cases,
appropriate cooperation and exchange of information
between national accreditation bodies should be established.

13.8.2008

the availability of accreditation activities operated bynational accreditation bodies should also be made public
and, therefore, accessible, in particular to conformity
assessment bodies.

(25) Sectoral accreditation schemes should cover the fields ofactivity where general requirements for the competence ofconformity assessment bodies are not sufficient to ensure
the necessary level of protection where specific detailed
technology or health and safety-related requirements are
imposed. Given the fact that the EA has at its disposal a
broad range of technical expertise, it should be requested todevelop such schemes, especially for areas covered by
Community legislation.

(21) In order to ensure that national accreditation bodies fulfil(26) For the purpose of ensuring the equivalent and consistent

the requirements and obligations provided for in thisRegulation, it is important that Member States support theproper functioning of the accreditation system, monitor
their national accreditation bodies regularly and takeappropriate corrective measures within a reasonable timeframe where necessary.

enforcement of Community harmonisation legislation, thisRegulation introduces a Community market surveillanceframework, defining minimum requirements against thebackground of the objectives to be achieved by Member
States and a framework for administrative cooperation
including the exchange of information among Member
States.

(22) In order to ensure the equivalence of the level ofcompetence of conformity assessment bodies, to facilitate
mutual recognition and to promote the overall acceptanceof accreditation certificates and conformity assessment
results issued by accredited bodies, it is necessary thatnational accreditation bodies operate a rigorous andtransparent peer evaluation system and regularly undergosuch evaluation.

(27) In the case of economic operators in possession of test

reports or certificates attesting conformity issued by anaccredited conformity assessment body, where the relevantCommunity harmonisation legislation does not require
such reports or certificates, market surveillance authorities
should take due account of them when performing checks
on product characteristics.

(28) Cooperation between competent authorities at national(23) This Regulation should provide for the recognition of asingle organisation at European level in respect of certain
functions in the field of accreditation. The European
cooperation for Accreditation (the EA), whose main
mission is to promote a transparent and quality-led system
for the evaluation of the competence of conformity
assessment bodies throughout Europe, manages a peer
evaluation system among national accreditation bodies
from the Member States and other European countries.
That system has proved to be efficient and to provide
mutual confidence. The EA should, therefore, be the first
body recognised under this Regulation and Member Statesshould ensure that their national accreditation bodies seek
and maintain membership of the EA for as long as it is sorecognised. At the same time, the possibility of changing
the relevant body recognised under this Regulation should
be provided for, in case there is a need for it in the future.

level and across borders in exchanging information,
investigating infringements and taking action to bringabout their cessation, even before the placing on the marketof dangerous products, by reinforcing measures to identify
them, mainly in seaports, is essential to the protection ofhealth and safety and to guaranteeing the smoothfunctioning of the internal market. National consumer
protection authorities should cooperate, at national level,with national market surveillance authorities and should
exchange information with them relating to products which
they suspect present a risk.

(29) Risk assessment should take all relevant data into account,

including, where available, data on risks that havematerialised with respect to the product in question.
Account should also be taken of any measures that may
have been taken by the economic operators concerned toalleviate the risks.

(24) Effective cooperation among national accreditation bodies

is essential for the proper implementation of peer
evaluation and with regard to cross-border accreditation.
In the interests of transparency, it is, therefore, necessary toprovide for an obligation on national accreditation bodies
to exchange information among themselves and to provide
the national authorities and the Commission with relevant
information. Updated and accurate information concerning(30) Situations of serious risk posed by a product require rapid

intervention, which may entail the withdrawal of the
product, its recall or the prohibition of its being madeavailable on the market. In those situations it is necessary tohave access to a system of rapid exchange of information
between Member States and the Commission. The system

13.8.2008

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

provided for in Article 12 of Directive 2001/95/EC has
proved its effectiveness and efficiency in the field ofconsumer products. To avoid unnecessary duplication, thatsystem should be used for the purposes of this Regulation.
Moreover, coherent market surveillance throughout theCommunity requires a comprehensive exchange of information on national activities in this context which goesbeyond this system.

L 218/33

in the case of products imported from third countries (4)lays down rules regarding the suspension of the release of
products by customs authorities and provides for further
measures including the involvement of market surveillanceauthorities. It is therefore appropriate that those provisions,
including the involvement of market surveillance authorities, be incorporated in this Regulation.

(35) Experience has shown that products which are not released(31) Information exchanged between competent authorities

should be subject to the strictest guarantees of confidentiality and professional secrecy and be handled in accordancewith rules on confidentiality pursuant to the applicablenational law or, as regards the Commission, Regulation (EC)No 1049/2001 of the European Parliament and of theCouncil of 30 May 2001 regarding public access to
European Parliament, Council and Commission documents (1), in order to ensure that investigations are notcompromised and that the reputations of economic
operators are not prejudiced. Directive 95/46/EC of theEuropean Parliament and of the Council of 24 October
1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to theprocessing of personal data and on the free movement ofsuch data (2) and Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of theEuropean Parliament and of the Council of 18 December
2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to theprocessing of personal data by the Community institutions
and bodies and on the free movement of such data (3) apply
in the context of this Regulation.

(32) Community harmonisation legislation provides for specificprocedures establishing whether or not a national measure
restricting the free movement of a product is justified(safeguard clause procedures). Those procedures apply
following a rapid exchange of information on productspresenting a serious risk.

(33) Points of entry at the external borders are well placed todetect unsafe non-conforming products or products towhich the CE marking has been affixed falsely or in amisleading manner even before they are placed on themarket. An obligation on authorities in charge of thecontrol of products entering the Community market to
execute checks on an adequate scale can therefore
contribute to a safer market place. In order to increase
the effectiveness of such checks, those authorities should
receive all the necessary information concerning dangerous
non-conforming products from the market surveillanceauthorities well in advance.

are often re-exported and subsequently enter the Community market at other points of entry, thus undermining thecustoms authorities' efforts. Market surveillance authorities
should therefore be given the means of proceeding with thedestruction of products if they deem it appropriate.

(36) Within one year of the publication of this Regulation in the

Official Journal of the European Union, the Commission
should present an in-depth analysis in the realm of
consumer safety markings, followed by legislative proposals
where necessary.

(37) The CE marking, indicating the conformity of a product, isthe visible consequence of a whole process comprising
conformity assessment in a broad sense. General principles
governing the CE marking should be set out in thisRegulation so as to make them immediately applicable andto simplify future legislation.

(38) The CE marking should be the only marking of conformity

indicating that a product is in conformity with Community
harmonisation legislation. However, other markings may be
used as long as they contribute to the improvement ofconsumer protection and are not covered by Community
harmonisation legislation.

(39) It is necessary for Member States to provide for appropriate

means of redress in the competent courts and tribunals in
respect of measures taken by the competent authorities
which restrict the placing on the market of a product or
which require its withdrawal or recall.

(40) Member States may find it useful to establish cooperation

with the stakeholders concerned, including sectoral professional organisations and consumer organisations, in orderto take advantage of available market intelligence whenestablishing, implementing and updating market surveillance programmes.

products on the market covered by Community legislation
fulfil requirements providing a high level of protection ofhealth and safety and other public interests while
guaranteeing the functioning of the internal market byproviding a framework for accreditation and market

States and can therefore, by reason of its scale and effects,
be better achieved at Community level, the Community
may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle ofsubsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In
accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out
in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what isnecessary in order to achieve that objective,(42) In order to achieve the objectives of this Regulation, it isnecessary for the Community to contribute to the financingof activities required to implement policies in the field ofaccreditation and market surveillance. Financing should be
provided in the form of grants to the body recognised
under this Regulation without a call for proposals, in theform of grants after a call for proposals, or by the award ofcontracts to that or to other bodies, depending on thenature of the activity to be financed and in accordance with
Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of

revision of sectoral accreditation schemes, and for othertasks related to the verification of the technical competence
and the facilities of laboratories and certification or
