THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and
in 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 policyfurther measures must be adopted to ensure safety in maritime
transport;
(2)Whereas shipping accidents are a matter of serious concern to
the Community, in particular those that cause loss of human
life and pollution of the Member States' seas and coastlines;
(3)Whereas the risk of shipping accidents can be effectively
reduced by means of common standards that ensure high safetylevels 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 ensure
that 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 marineequipment have been developed by the international standardiza-tion bodies and by the International Maritime Organization(IMO); whereas the national testing standards implementing the
international standards leave a margin of discretion certification
authorities, which themselves have different levels of qualifica-tions and experience; whereas that leads to varying levels ofsafety for products which the competent national authoritieshave certified as complying with the relevant international safetystandards and to great reluctance on the part of Member States to
accept that without further verification ships flying their flags
carry equipment approved by other Member States;
(5)Whereas common rules must be laid down to eliminate differ-
ences in the implementation of international standards; whereas
such common rules will result in the elimination of unnecessarycosts and administrative procedures relating to the approval ofequipment, the improvement of operating conditions and of thecompetitive position of Community shipping and the eliminationof technical barriers to trade by means of the mark of conformity
affixed to equipment;
(6)Whereas in its resolution of 8 June 1993 on a common policy on
safe seas(4) the Council urged the Commission to submit propo-
sals 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 inde-1996L0098 — EN — 29.11.2002 — 004.001 — 2

pendently or through international organizations cannot establish
the same level of safety performance in equipment;
(8)Whereas a Council Directive is the appropriate legal instrumentas it provides a framework for uniform and compulsory applica-tion of the international testing standards by Member States;
(9)Whereas it is appropriate in the first place to address equipmentthe carriage of which on board ship and the approval of whichby national administrations in accordance with safety standardslaid down in international conventions or resolutions is manda-tory under the main international conventions;
(10)Whereas there are various Directives that ensure the free move-ment of certain products which could be used inter alia ,a s
equipment on board ships but which do not concern the MemberStates' certification of equipment in accordance with the relevant
international conventions; whereas equipment to be placed on
board ships must therefore be regulated exclusively by newcommon rules;
(11)Whereas new testing standards must be laid down, preferably at
international level, for equipment for which such standards do
not already exist or are not sufficiently detailed;
(12)Whereas Member States should ensure that the notified bodiesthat assess the compliance of equipment with testing standards
are independent, efficient and professionally competent to carry
out their tasks;
(13)Whereas compliance with international testing standards can bestbe 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 theconformity-assessment procedures and the rules for the affixingand use of the CE conformity marking, which are intended tobe 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 carryout operational-performance tests on board a ship for which ithas issued a safety certificate, provided such tests do not dupli-cate the conformity-assessment procedures;
(15)Whereas equipment covered by this Directive should, as ageneral rule, bear a mark to indicate its compliance with therequirement of this Directive;
(16)Whereas Member States may in certain cases take provisionalmeasures to limit or prohibit the use of equipment bearing themark of conformity;
(17)Whereas the use of equipment not bearing the mark of confor-mity may be allowed in exceptional circumstances;
(18)Whereas a simplified procedure involving a regulatorycommittee must be followed for the amendment of this Direc-
tive,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

General: in addition to the testing standards specifically mentioned, a number of provisions, which must be checked during type-examination (type a pproval) as referred to in the modules for confor-
mity assessment in Annex B, are to be found in the applicable requirements of the international conventions and the relevant resolutions and circular s of the IMO.
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: For the purpose of identifying correctly the relevant standards, the test reports and the appropriate type-approval certificates shall sp ecify the specific testing standard applied and its version,
as identified in column 5.
Column 5: Where two sets of testing standards are indicated (separated by a ‘;’ or separated by a ‘or’), each set fulfils all the testing requirements to meet IMO Performance Standards. Thus testing to
one set is sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of the relevant International Instruments.
Column 6: Where module H appears, module H plus design-examination certificate is to be understood.

Notes applicable to section 1: Life saving appliancesColumns 3 and 4: Where these columns are split into two levels for a particular item designator, the upper level refers where applicable to vessels cons tructed under the HSC Code prior to 1 July 2002,
and the lower box refers to vessels where applicable operating under the HSC Code on or after 1 July 2002.
