# of 18 July 2014

# amending Council Directive 96/98/EC on marine equipment

# (Text with EEA relevance) (repealed)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Directive 96/98/EC of 20 December 1996 on marine equipment(1), and in particular Article 17 thereof,                        

Whereas:

(1)For the purposes of Directive 96/98/EC, the international conventions and testing standards should apply in their up-to-date                              versions.

(2)A number of amendments to the international conventions and applicable testing standards have entered into force since the                              adoption of the last amending act to Directive 96/98/EC. Those amendments should be incorporated into Directive 96/98/EC.

(3)During the same period the International Maritime Organisation and the European standardisation organisations have also adopted                              standards, including detailed testing standards, for a number of items of equipment which are listed in Annex A.2 to Directive                              96/98/EC or which, albeit not listed, are considered relevant for the purpose of that Directive. Therefore such items of equipment                              should be included in Annex A.1 or transferred from Annex A.2 to Annex A.1, as appropriate.

(4)Directive 96/98/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

(5)It is reasonable to allow equipment newly subject to harmonised requirements under this Directive and manufactured before                              the expiry of the time-limit for the implementation of this Directive to be placed on the market and on board a Community                              ship during a transitional period.

(6)The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Safe Seas and the Prevention                              of Pollution from Ships (COSS),

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

# Article 1U.K.

Annex A to Directive 96/98/EC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Directive.

# Article 2U.K.

Equipment listed in column 1 of Annex A.1 as having been transferred from Annex A.2 which was manufactured before 14 August                     2015 in conformity with procedures for type-approval already in force before that date within the territory of a Member State                     may continue to be placed on the market and on board a Community ship until 14 August 2017.                  

# Article 3U.K.

1.Member States shall adopt and publish, by 14 August 2015 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions                        necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions.                  

They shall apply those provisions from 14 August 2015.

2.Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the                        field covered by this Directive.                  

# Article 4U.K.

This Directive shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the *Official Journal of the European Union*.

### ANNEX A.1U.K.**EQUIPMENT FOR WHICH DETAILED TESTING STANDARDS ALREADY EXIST IN INTERNATIONAL INSTRUMENTS**

#### **Notes applicable to the whole of Annex A.1**

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 the international conventions and the relevant resolutions and circulars of the IMO.                           

Column 1: Article 2 of Commission Directive 2012/32/EU(2) may apply. (8th Amendment of MED Annex A).                           

Column 1: Article 2 of Commission Directive 2013/52/EU(3) may apply. (9th Amendment of MED Annex A).                           

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.                           

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 of conformity and declarations of conformity shall identify the                                 specific testing standard applied and its version.                           

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 these sets 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.                           

The requirements laid down in this annex shall be without prejudice to carriage requirements in the international conventions                           

#### 1.**Life-saving appliances**

Column 4: IMO MSC/Circular 980 shall apply except when superseded by the specific instruments referred to in Column 4.
