Update from European Boating Industry, EBI.
As reported in Technical Report 99, boats and
personal watercraft fall under the scope of the EU directive on
electro-magnetic compatibility (EMC) 2004/108/EC. In concrete
terms, this means that when issuing the declaration of conformity
boatbuilders should also indicate that the boat complies with the
EMC requirements and how this compliance is achieved (i.e. using
standards or adding a note to the technical file).
Boat builders and those persons responsible
for placing craft on the market are reminded that the RCD
Declaration of Conformity has provision to show compliance with
other Community Directives. The EU Commission services were
recently asked a question on applicability of the EMC Directive to
recreational craft.
