Recreational Craft Directive
and DIN Standards
Edition 2005
An introduction to using DIN EN ISO Small Craft Standards
by Lloyd’s Register Yacht Services
In general, all boats with a length of hull1) between 2.5 m and 24 m intended for
leisure
purposes which are going to be placed on the European Market require to be in
conformity
with the Essential Safety Requirements (ESR) of Annex I of the Recreational Craft
Directive
94/25/EC as amended (RCD). This is also the case for certain specific components
listed in
Annex II of this directive.
According to the directive, the manufacturer of a craft (or component) shall

establish a
Technical Construction File (TCF) in which he details how the conformity with the
ESR has
been ensured.
The enclosed DIN EN ISO Small Craft standards are the mandated standards to support
the
RCD2). This means that if the design and construction of a boat or component is in
accordance with these technical provisions, the highest presumption of conformity
with the
ESR can be assumed.
It is, however, not compulsory to comply with the harmonised EN ISO Small Craft
standards.
Other rules, acknowledged standards or special technical solutions may be used to
demonstrate conformity with the ESR. Still, the EN ISO Small Craft standards set
the level of
safety which will have to be considered when looking for an alternative technical
solution.
The use of the EN ISO standards facilitates the compliance procedure because many
EN
ISO Small Craft standards provide for different options of technical requirements
to be
followed depending on the design category, the length and the type of the boat.
Therefore it
is much easier to ensure conformity by using the EN ISO Small Craft standards than
other
rules or regulations. In addition, the Recreational Craft Sectoral Group3)
recommends to
make use of the EN ISO Small Craft standards in the first place (see RSG
Guidelines,
Recommendation for Use # 40).
There is, however, one exception to the above. This is where standards are still
under
validation, meaning they are not yet harmonised but at the draft stage. Currently,
almost all
mandated standards are harmonised, except for a few standards dealing with the
construction of the boat4). As an alternative, other construction rules for yachts,
such as
Lloyd's Register Special Service Craft Rules, GL Yacht Rules, ABS Rules or other
classification rules, may be used.
As all standards undergo a regular review during a cycle of five years to identify
if changes or
additions have become necessary, manufacturers should check whether they are still
using
the latest harmonised standards before commencing a project. Further information
can be
found on the RSG website, in the Official Journal of the European Commission5) or
at
‘www.beuth.de’.
Depending on the length of the boat, the intended design category or the standards
used6),
the manufacturer is obliged to apply for a technical assessment of the boat or
component
through a Notified Body (NB), in order to obtain certification.
1)
The length of hull is specified in EN ISO 8666.
2)
See Article 5 of the directive.
3)
The RSG consists of Notified Bodies, industry organisations, CEN and the
European Commission. Their task is to harmonise
the conformity assessment procedure under the RCD. For this purpose, RSG
Guidelines have been developed which are
updated on an annual basis. More information can be found at “www.rsg.be”.
4)
Draft Standards are for example prEN ISO 12215-5 ‘Scantlings Design pressures,
allowable stresses, scantling
determination’ and others.
5)
For harmonised EN ISO Small Craft standards please see
http://europa.eu.int/comm/enterprise/newapproach/standardization/harmstds/
reflist/reccraft.html
6)
If the relevant harmonised EN ISO Standards for stability (EN ISO 12217) have
been considered for boats below 12 m length
of hule in design category C the involvement of a Notified Body is not
mandatory.
Details on the conformity procedure:
First Step: Every manufacturer should take the time to familiarise himself with the
RCD first,
to determine his responsibilities and obligations.
Second Step: The applicable parts of the EN ISO Small Craft standards should be
selected.
As already mentioned above, depending on the type of boat, for sailing boats, motor
boats,
personal watercraft or inflatable boats, different standards need to be used for
reference.
Third Step: If applicable, arrange the assessment for conformity certification with
a NB. See
the enclosed table for easy reference. This table on the modular choice already
includes the
new requirements for noise and exhaust emission testing and for personal watercraft
of the
RCD7).
Regardless whether the assessment through an NB is made mandatory by the directive

or
not, there are certain advantages to applying for CE certification:
First of all, the TCF is checked and the product is certified by a NB who is an
independent
third party and usually accredited to EN 45011 and EN 45012. Before the assessment
is
commenced, the standards applied or technical solutions are agreed with the NB.
With this,
the manufacturer further ensures to fulfil his obligations with regard to product
liability.
In addition, many NBs like Lloyds Register have developed manufacturer checklists
on the
basis of the EN ISO Small Craft standards to facilitate the development of a TCF
further.
These checklists, however, can only be used with the standards to hand. The
relevant
calculations, test reports and plans also have to be added to the checklists to
make it a
complete TCF.
Some further important points:
A manufacturer should be aware to utilise only CE-certified components of Annex II.

Usually,
component manufacturers nowadays only sell CE-certified products. These are
portlights,
hatches, prefabricated fuel tanks, fuel hoses, steering gear and other devices. See
Annex II
of the RCD for details. Considering the transitional period, CE conformity will
also have to be
maintained for engines7).
Beside the technical requirements, it is important not to forget the formal

requirements as
well. One very important document in the TCF is the Owner’s Manual. This manual
shall
include the Declaration of Conformity (DoC) according to Annex XV of the directive.
With this
document, the manufacturer declares which standards were utilised to comply with
the
Essential Safety Requirements of the RCD. A sample of the DoC 8) for RCD 94/25/EC
can be
found on this CD. A revised DoC taking into account the amendments of 2003/44/EC
will be
available via the ICOMIA9) website.
7)
The requirements of 2003/44/EC amending RCD 94/25/EC becoming applicable as
from 01.01.2005. Noise and exhaust
emission compliance becomes mandatory for most of the engines and boats
starting from 01.01. 2006.
8)
The enclosed version of the DoC was recommended for use by the ADCO. The ADCO
group consists of the national
authorities conducting market surveillance regarding product conformity. This
version, however, does not consider the
amendments of 2003/44/EC.

— engine manufacturer's trademark or trade-name,
— engine type, engine family, if applicable,
— a unique engine identification number,
— CE marking, if required under Article 10.
1.2. These marks must be durable for the normal life of the
engine and must be clearly
legible and indelible. If labels or plates are used,
they must be attached in such a manner
that the fixing is durable for the normal life of the
engine, and the labels/plates cannot
be removed without destroying or defacing them.
1.3. These marks must be secured to an engine part necessary

for normal engine operation
and not normally requiring replacement during the
engine life.
1.4. These marks must be located so as to be readily visible

to the average person after the
engine has been assembled with all the components
necessary for engine operation.
2. Exhaust emission requirements

power in kW and the exhaust emissions are measured
in accordance with the harmo-
nised standard (*).
For engines above 130 kW either E3 (IMO) or E5

(recreational marine) duty cycles may
be used.
The reference fuels to be used for the emissions

test for engines fuelled with petrol and
diesel shall be as specified in Directive 98/69/EC
(Annex IX, Tables 1 and 2), and for
those engines fuelled with Liquefied Petroleum Gas
as specified in Directive 98/77/EC.
3. Durability
The manufacturer of the engine shall supply engine
installation and maintenance
instructions, which if applied should mean that the
engine in normal use will continue
to comply with the above limits throughout the
normal life of the engine and under
normal conditions of use.
This information shall be obtained by the engine

manufacturer by use of prior endur-
ance testing, based on normal operating cycles, and
by calculation of component fatigue
so that the necessary maintenance instructions may
be prepared by the manufacturer
and issued with all new engines when first placed on
the market.
The normal life of the engine is considered to mean:

(a) inboard or stern drive engines with or without
integral exhaust: 480 hours or 10
years, whichever occurs first;
(b) personal watercraft engines: 350 hours or five
years, whichever occurs first;
(c) outboard engines: 350 hours or 10 years,
whichever occurs first.
4. Owner's manual
Each engine shall be provided with an owner's manual

in the Community language or
languages, which may be determined by the Member
State in which the engine is to be
marketed. This manual shall:
(a) provide instructions for the installation and
maintenance needed to assure the
proper functioning of the engine to meet the
requirements of paragraph 3,
(Durability);
(b) specify the power of the engine when measured in
accordance with the harmonised
standard.

Recreational craft with inboard or stern drive engines without

integral exhaust, personal
watercraft and outboard engines and stern drive engines with
integral exhaust shall comply
with the following essential requirements for noise emissions.
1. Noise emission levels
1.1. Recreational craft with inboard or stern drive engines

without integral exhaust, personal
watercraft and outboard engines and stern drive engines with
integral exhaust shall be
designed, constructed and assembled so that noise emissions
measured in accordance
with tests defined in the harmonised standard (**) shall not
exceed the limit values in

(**) EN ISO 14509.
For twin-engine and multiple-engine units of all engine types

an allowance of 3 dB may
be applied.
1.2. As an alternative to sound measurement tests, recreational

craft with inboard engine
configuration or stern drive engine configuration, without
integral exhaust, shall be
deemed to comply with these noise requirements if they have a
Froude number of ≤
1,1 and a power displacement ratio of ≤ 40 and where the
engine and exhaust system
are installed in accordance with the engine manufacturer's
specifications.
1.3. “Froude number” shall be calculated by dividing the maximum

ANNEX XVII
CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION ASSESSMENT FOR EXHAUST AND NOISE

EMISSIONS
1. For verifying the conformity of an engine family, a sample of

engines is taken from the series. The
manufacturer shall decide the size (n) of the sample, in agreement
with the notified body.
2. The arithmetical mean X of the results obtained from the sample

shall be calculated for each regu-
lated component of the exhaust and noise emission. The production of
the series shall be deemed
to conform to the requirements (pass decision) if the following
condition is met:
X + K. S ≤ L
S is standard deviation, where:
X 2
S2 ¼ ðx – XÞ =ðn – 1Þ
X = the arithmetical mean of the results
x = the individual results of the sample
L = the appropriate limit value
n = the number of engines in the sample
k = statistical factor depending on n (see table)

Foreword
This document updates and replaces the first edition of the application guide
issued in 2001
and sets out and comments on the text of Directive 94/25/EC relating to the design
and
construction requirements for recreational craft (the directive).
This guide is intended to be a reference document for all parties directly or

indirectly involved
with the recreational craft industry. It should be read and used as an aid in the
application of
the directive. It does not, however, substitute for it. It is the intention that it
should explain and
clarify certain important issues related to the directive. In addition, these
guidelines are
intended to promote the free movement of goods in the EU/EEA internal market having
been
presented to Member States’ government experts, industry, notified bodies, users
and other
parties for comment. The competent services of the European Commission very much
appre-
ciate the assistance given during the preparation of the second edition of this
guide (1).
The guide is publicly available, but it is not binding in the same sense as legal
acts adopted by
the Community. The legally binding provisions are those transposing the directive
into the
national legislation of the EU/EEA Member States.
Since Directive 94/25/EC is a ‘new approach’ directive, additional guidance on the

principles
of the new approach can be found in the Guide to the implementation of directives
based on the
new approach and the global approach. This guide has been published by the European
Commission and can be downloaded from the Commission’s website at the following
address:
http://europa.eu.int/comm/enterprise/newapproach/legislation/guide/legislation.htm.
It should be noted that the text of the directive speaks of the ‘Community’ or ‘EU’
in the sense
of a trade area; this should be read to mean both the European Union (EU) and the
European
Economic Area (EEA).
(1) In addition to this guide issued by the Commission services, there are the
Recreational Craft Sectoral Group
(RSG) guidelines. The RSG is the group of notified bodies under the directive
with representatives of
industry and users. These RSG guidelines give general guidance to notified
bodies and manufacturers on
the uniform technical application and interpretation of the directive and the
conformity assessment proce-
dures in particular.

A. THE RSG
The Recreational Craft Sectoral Group (RSG), consisting of all Notified Bodies and
others
parties with valid interest, has been established to assist in the uniform
application and
interpretation of the actual version of the Recreational Craft Directive (RCD).
The objectives of co-operation within the RSG are:
• to share experience and exchange views on the application of the conformity
assessment procedures with the aim of contributing to a uniform understanding
and
application of requirements and procedures;
• to elaborate opinions from a technical point of view on matters of conformity
assessment procedures by seeking a consensus;
• to give advice to the Commission following its request on subjects related to
the
application of the Directives;
• to consider aspects of ethics related to Notified Body activities and to
elaborate, if
necessary, statements on that topic;
• to remain in coherence with standardisation work at European and international
level;
• to remain informed of harmonisation activities at European level.
This is accomplished by co-operation among certification organisations, user
organisations,
and manufacturers, who are participating in the development of these RSG
guidelines1.
The tasks of the RSG are:
• to be a forum for exchanging information and raising issues of common concern
relating to conformity assessment and other technical aspects;
• to define points of difficulty, propose possible solutions and either agree on
a common
solution or agree on the equivalence of several solutions;
• to prepare recommendations and draft guidelines for acceptance by the Standing
Committee established under the RCD and for the Commission;
• to receive and discuss Commission guidance documents and other information
pertinent to the practical application of the RCD;
• to collect and collate questions and problems arising from the practical
application of
the RCD and to present these, together with RSG recommended solutions, where
possible, to the Commission.
The composition of RSG comprises the following parties:
• Notified Bodies
• The Commission
• The Recreational Craft Industry
• User Organisation
• European Standardisation Bodies
1 In addition to these RSG Guidelines, there are guidelines issued by the

Commission services, called
“Recreational Craft Directive and Comments to the Directive Combined” (the CC-
paper), printed copies of
which can be obtained from the Commission services or which can be downloaded from
the Commission's
website at following URL:

GUIDELINES 2005

February 2005
B. INTRODUCTION
These guidelines are prepared to assist with the conformity assessment procedures
undertaken
by Notified Bodies for recreational craft, personal watercraft, their components
and their
engines, in accordance with the Directive 94/25/EC of the European Parliament and
of the
Council, dated 16 June 1994 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and
administrative
provisions of the Member States relating to recreational craft as amended by
Directive
2003/44/EC. This Directive lays down the requirements for the assessment procedures
to be
followed by manufacturers when demonstrating conformity of their products.
The English text of the Recreational Directive as amended and as published in the
Official
Journals L/164/15 from 30.06.1994, L/127/27 from 10.06.1995, L/41/20 from
15.02.2000 and
L 214/18 from 26.08.2003 is the basic text used for a common understanding within
the
Recreational Craft Sectoral Group.
When these guidelines provide information for craft and engines outside those
conformity
assessment procedures undertaken by Notified Bodies, this information is provided
for
guidance only.
In addition to changes for design and construction, Directive 2003/44/EC of the
European
Parliament and of the Council, dated 16 June 2003, provides a major extension of
the scope of
Directive 94/25/EC by including personal watercraft and by adding essential
requirements on
noise and exhaust emissions for craft with propulsion engines. Directive 2003/44/EC
does not
replace or revoke Directive 94/25/EC, but amends some of its provisions and adds
some new
requirements. The provisions of the original directive 94/25/EC which have not been
changed
by Directive 2003/44/EC therefore remain in force. Both directives should always be
considered as a combined document. Whenever reference is made in these Guidelines
to the
RCD, to the Directive or to the amended Directive, this should be read to mean
Directive
94/25/EC as amended by Directive 2003/44/EC.
The following statement is given in the preamble to Directive 94/25/EC:
Whereas, in view of the nature of risks involved in the use of recreational craft
and their
components, it is necessary to establish procedures applying to the assessment of
compliance
with the essential requirements of the Directive; whereas these procedures must be
devised in
the light of the level of risk which may be inherent in recreational craft and
their components;
The RSG has taken these risks, so far as possible, into consideration when
preparing these
guidelines.
In Annex IA, under General Requirements, the amended Directive states:
Products falling under Article 1(1)(a) shall comply with the essential requirements
in so far as
they apply to them.
This provision is also addressed in Annex XIII, Technical Documentation Supplied by
the
Manufacturer. Among other provisions the Directive states:
The documentation shall contain so far as relevant for assessment:... a list of the
standards
referred to in Article 5, applied in full or in part, and descriptions of the
solutions adopted to
fulfil the essential requirements when the standards referred to in Article 5 have
not been
applied.
Due to the variety of recreational craft between and including 2,5 and 24 meters
hull length,
the RSG has considered the applicability of various parts of existing standards to
different
Page 5/155
GUIDELINES 2005
05
February 2005
recreational craft, personal watercraft and engine types.

RSG urges the industry and Notified Bodies to use EN Standards.
Where suitable standards are not available the RSG has established uniform
guidelines to
assist with demonstrating conformity with the Essential Safety Requirements of the
Directive.
The RSG guidelines will be reviewed when suitable standards become available and
amended
as may be necessary.
The list of "Standards in support of the RCD" is available from the RSG website
www.rsg.be.
Part of this list is a column identifying the date from which a specific document
is valid in
accordance with the RSG Guidelines either as a CD, a DIS or an FDIS, or the date of
publication of the harmonised standard in the Official Journal of the EU.
It should be noted that Article 5 of the Directive recommends the use of harmonised
standards
as this ensures presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the
Directive.
Harmonised standards are standards adopted by the European standardisation
organisations
and the references of these adopted standards have to be published in the Official
Journal of
the European Communities and be transposed into national standards by the Member
States
(See also Chapter D). The use of harmonised standards is voluntary, with the
exception of the
two mandatory standards for noise and exhaust emission testing specified in the
amended
Directive. Also the use of a harmonised standard is obligatory for the length
measurement of
craft (see article 1.3(a) of the Directive)

D. CHAPTERS AND ARTICLES OF THE DIRECTIVE

Text of Article 5 of the Directive:
Member States shall presume compliance with the essential requirements referred to
in
Article 3 of products referred to in Article 1 (1) which meet the relevant national
standards
adopted pursuant to the harmonised standards the reference of which have been
published in
the Official Journal of the European Communities; Member States shall publish the
references of such national standards.
With reference to the harmonised standards mentioned in Article 5, the Notified
Bodies and
manufacturers should refer to the references of these standards as published in the
Official
Journal of the European Communities and the references of the national standards as
published by the Member States. In the absence of harmonised standards, other means
of
demonstrating compliance with the essential requirements could consist e.g. of
applying the
latest project list and the current status (ISO/CD, ISO/DIS, ISO, EN, etc.) of
standards under
development.
The relevant parts of the standards in support of the essential requirements of the
Directive
are mentioned in their annex ZA of the DIS and FDIS versions of the standards.
Annex ZA
will only appear in EN-ISO standards (harmonised standards) and not in the
published ISO
standards (non-harmonised standards).
The standards that have been used shall be referenced in the Technical
Documentation.
In cases where the RSG group is of the opinion in accordance with the convenors of
the
standards that the updated standard is preferably to be used, the revision of the
non-
harmonised standard will be mentioned in addition to the harmonised standard on the
standards list of the RSG website www.rsg.be.

Definitions:
A. OCEAN: Designed for extended voyages where conditions may exceed wind force 8
(Beaufort scale) and significant wave heights of 4 m and above but excluding
abnormal
conditions, and vessels largely self-sufficient.
B: OFFSHORE: Designed for offshore voyages where conditions up to, and including,
wind
force 8 and significant wave heights up to, and including, 4 m may be
experienced.
C: INSHORE: Designed for voyages in coastal waters, large bays, estuaries, lakes
and rivers
where conditions up to, and including, wind force 6 and significant wave
heights up to,
and including, 2 m may be experienced.
D: SHELTERED WATERS: Designed for voyages on sheltered coastal waters, small bays,
small lakes, rivers and canals when conditions up to, and including, wind
force 4 and
significant wave heights up to, and including, 0,3 m may be experienced, with
occasional waves of 0,5 m maximum height, for example from passing vessels.
Craft in each Category must be designed and constructed to withstand these
parameters in
respect of stability, buoyancy, and other relevant essential requirements listed in
Annex I, and
to have good handling characteristics.
NOTE: The Design category parameters are intended to define the physical conditions
that
might arise in any category for design evaluation, and are not intended for
limiting the use of
the recreational craft in any geographical areas of operation, after it has been
put into service.
The physical conditions shall be determined from the maximum wind strength and wave
profiles, where wave profiles are consistent with waves generated by wind blowing
at the
maximum stated strength for a prolonged period, subject to limits of the implied
fetch and the
maximum stated wave heights, and excluding abnormal factors such as sudden change
in
depth or tidal races.
For category D, allowance should be made for waves of passing vessels up to a
maximum
Page 9/155
GUIDELINES 2005

February 2005
wave height of 0,5 m.

For category A, unlimited conditions apply as they reflect that a vessel engaged on
a long
voyage might incur any conditions and should be designed accordingly, excluding
abnormal
weather conditions e.g. hurricane.
The last paragraph is an introduction. The assessment in respect of stability,
buoyancy,
handling characteristics and other relevant essential requirements are dealt with
in other parts
of Annex I of the Directive.

Although there may be standards or parts of standards that relate to the integrity
and structure
of component parts of craft, RSG has interpreted the Essential Safety Requirements
as
relating to the integrity and structural requirements of the hull, deck and
superstructure. This
includes items such as keel attachments, rudder, chain plates and other strength
critical items
as appropriate.
e. To assess the structural integrity, one of the following approaches shall be

considered:
1. Application of appropriate parts of EN ISO12215, provided that the
scantlings
derived from draft parts of the standard are checked by one of the methods
described
below. Appropriate documentation shall be developed (see f .1 below).
2. The structural requirements of the hull may be assessed by other acceptable
scantling determination methods that are applicable to the boat type,
design category
and the manufacturer's maximum recommended load. Appropriate documentation
Page 17/155
GUIDELINES 2005
05
February 2005
shall be kept (see f .1 below)

3. As an alternative to acceptable scantlings determination methods or in
cases where
no applicable rules exist, acceptable construction calculation(s) or
testing may be
used. Calculations and proof of testing shall be documented (see f .2
below).
4. In particular cases and if acceptable empirical knowledge can be
demonstrated as to
the structural requirements of the hull, this may be used as an
alternative to the
previous methods outlined. This shall include relevant documentation (see
f .3
below).
f. Appropriate documentation supporting the methods used shall be developed.

If applicable the following shall be included when drafting the appropriate
documentation:
1. Scantling determination method
• Description of the acceptable scantling determination method used for
assessment
• Description of material, principle of structure and scantlings for the
case
• Input values for strength and stiffness of materials used
• Input and output calculation results on the different structural members
2. Calculation and/or testing
• Description of case
• Reference to applied calculation method (loads, materials, geometry,
analysis
principle)
• Evaluation and statement of the applicability of the method for
assessment
• Input and output calculation results on the different structural
members
• Description of test methods and their applicability for the case
• Test results and their validity for assessment purposes
3. Empirical knowledge
• Description of case
• Description of applicability of the empirical material used for
assessment
• Documentation of empirical records (information of conditions of use

E.A.4 HANDLING CHARACTERISTICS
a. Text of the first sentence of section 4 of Annex I of the Directive:

The manufacturer shall ensure that the handling characteristics of the craft are
satisfactory
with the most powerful engine for which the boat is designed and constructed.
b.
This essential requirement is considered to relate only to high speed handling
characteristics
of powered craft when operated at or near to maximum speed (as it refers to the
characteristics with the most powerful engine). It does not apply to sailing boats
and slow
speed craft, but aspects of handling of all craft in rough weather are addressed in
the stability
standards (E 3.3, 3.4).
c. Relevant part of the harmonised standards:

EN ISO 11592:2001 – Small Craft - Determination of maximum propulsion power - in
terms
of manoeuvrability, for craft less than 8 m length of hull.
EN ISO 11592:2001
1, 2, 3, 4.2, 4.4, 4.5, 5, 6, Annex 1 A, Clause 4, Handling The standard
provides a method of
7 and Annex A characteristics determining
maximum engine
power for boats of
less than 8m
hull length.
Annex B Annex 1 A, Clause 2.5, Owner’s A power capacity

label is not
manual required for
Directive 94/25/EC,
but the maximum
rated engine
power shall be
declared in the
Owner’s Manual.
The harmonised standard covers only motor boats below 8m length. In recognition of
the
need for a standard for motor boats of over 8m length covering handling when
operating at or
near to maximum speed, a sub-group of ISO/TC 188 has been established. Dependant on
the
outcome of this work, a new standard may be introduced for motor boats above 8m
length.
Until then the handling characteristics of a motor boat above 8m length may be
assessed by
acceptable methods for assessing handling characteristics that are applicable to
boat type,
design category and the manufacturers recommended maximum powering and load.
d. Text of the second sentence of section 4 of Annex I of the Directive

For all recreational marine engines, the maximum rated engine power shall be
declared in
the owner's manual in accordance with the harmonised standard.
Page 28/155

e. Relevant part of the harmonised standards:

The directive requires measurement of engine power according to the harmonised
standard
EN ISO 8665:1995/A1:2000. For a reference to the standard, compare to Chapter
E.B.4. Note
that this is one of the few cases for the Recreational Craft Directive where the
use of the
harmonised standard is mandatory.
The Directive requires that the maximum power of all propulsion engines for
recreational
craft, including both inboards and outboards, shall be declared in the owner’s
manual
according to the harmonised standard (EN ISO 10240).

The manufacturer of the engine shall supply engine installation and maintenance
instructions,
which if applied should mean that the engine in normal use will continue to comply
with the
above limits throughout the normal life of the engine and under normal conditions
of use.
This information shall be obtained by the engine manufacturer by use of prior
endurance
testing, based on normal operating cycles, and by calculation of component fatigue
so that the
necessary maintenance instructions may be prepared by the manufacturer and issued
with all
new engines when first placed on the market.
The normal life of the engine is considered to mean:
(a) inboard or stern drive engines with or without integral exhaust: 480
hours or
10 years, whichever occurs first;

F. GUIDELINES FOR ASSESSMENT OF COMPONENTS

Certain components are specifically mentioned in the Directive:
"-whereas the essential requirements constitute the criteria by which
recreational craft,
partly completed craft and their components when separate and when
installed must
comply".
The certification requirements imply third party intervention, which has
to take place
before the component is placed on the market. However, if the components
in F3, F4,
and F5 below are made specifically by or for the craft builder, the
conformity
assessment may be made by the craft builder. (This is an interpretation
that goes against
the requirements of the Directive: article 8.2 (e) specifies that Annex II
components
have to subject to conformity assessment according modules B+C, B+E, B+F,
or G or
H, all of which require 3rd party intervention)
CE marking for RCD is only permitted for components listed in Annex II.

G. CONFORMITY ASSESSMENT MODULES

The Recreational Craft Directive establishes procedures applying to the assessment
of
compliance with the essential safety requirements. These procedures comply with
Council
Decision No 93/465/EEC of 22 July 1993 concerning the modules for the various
phases of
the conformity assessment procedures and the rules for the affixing of the CE
conformity
marking, which are intended to be used in the technical harmonization directives.
It is to be noted, amongst other points, from this Council Decision (in Annex),
that:
1. The essential objective of a conformity assessment procedure is to enable

the public
authorities to ensure that products placed on the market conform to the
requirements
as expressed in the provisions of the directives, in particular with regard
to the health
and safety of users and consumers,
2. Conformity assessment can be subdivided into modules, which relate to the

design
phase of products and to their production phase,
3. As a general rule a product must be subject to both phases before being

able to be
placed on the market if the results are positive.
4. Notified bodies should be encouraged to apply the modules without

unnecessary
burden for the economic operators. The Commission, in cooperation with the
Member
States, must ensure that close cooperation is organized between the
notified bodies in
order to ensure consistent technical application of the modules,
5. Whenever directives provide the manufacturer with the possibility of using

modules
based on quality assurance techniques, the manufacturer must also be able
to have
recourse to a combination of modules not using quality assurance, and vice
versa,
except where the compliance with the requirements laid down by the
directives
requires the exclusive application of a certain procedure.
6. Whenever the NB subcontracts testing or verifies subcontracted testing,

etc,..., it is the
responsibility of the NB to ensure that the subcontractor has the
facilities and meets
the criteria for that function (Annex XIV).
a) Text of Article 8 of the Directive as amended
1. Before placing on the market, and/or putting into service, products

referred to in
Article 1(1) the manufacturer or his authorised representative
established within the
Community shall apply the procedures referred to in paragraphs 2, 3 and 4
of this
Article.
Page 61/155
GUIDELINES 2005
05
February 2005
In the case of post-construction assessment for recreational craft, if neither

the
manufacturer nor his authorised representative established within the
Community
fulfils the responsibilities for the product's conformity to this Directive,
these can be
assumed by any natural or legal person established within the Community who
places the product on the market, and/or puts it into service, under his own
responsibility. In such a case, the person who places the product on the
market or
puts it into service must lodge an application for a post-construction report
with a
notified body. The person who places the product on the market and/or puts it
into
service must provide the notified body with any available document and
technical file
referring to the first placing on the market of the product in the country of
origin.
The notified body shall examine the individual product and carry out
calculations
and other assessment to ensure its equivalent conformity with the relevant
requirements of the Directive. In this case, the Builder's plate described in
Annex I,
2.2 shall include the words "(Post-construction certificate)". The notified
body shall
draw up a report of conformity concerning the assessment carried out and shall
inform the person who places the product on the market and/or puts it into
service of
his obligations. That person shall draw up a declaration of conformity (see
Annex
XV) and affix, or cause to be affixed, the CE mark accompanied by the
distinguishing
number of the relevant notified body on the product.
Note: Comments to post construction assessment see chapter I of this document
2. With regard to design and construction of products referred to in Article 1(1)

system as approved and to uphold it so that it remains adequate and efficient. The
manufacturer or his authorised representative shall keep the notified body that has
approved
the quality system informed of any intended updating of the quality system.
The notified body shall evaluate the modifications proposed and decide whether the
amended
quality system will still satisfy the requirements referred to in paragraph 3.2 or
whether a
reassessment is required.
It shall notify its decisions to the manufacturer. The notification shall contain
the conclusions
4. Surveillance under the responsibility of the notified body
4.1. The purpose of surveillance is to make sure that the manufacturer duly fulfils
the
obligations arising out of the approved quality system.
4.2. The manufacturer shall allow the notified body entrance for inspection
purposes to the
locations of manufacture, inspection and testing, and storage and shall provide it
with all
necessary information, in particular:
- the quality system documentation,
qualification
reports of the personnel concerned, etc.
4.3. The notified body shall periodically carry out audits to make sure that the
manufacturer
maintains and applies the quality system and shall provide an audit report to the

b) Recommendation for use:

RFU # 15 (to be revised according to 2003/44/EC)
c) Procedure to be applied:
This module is to be used in conjunction with module B (EC type-examination). This
module
refers to a quality system operated by the builder.
The assessment under this module shall be performed by a NB, which may be different
from
the NB who assessed the product under module B.
The two different following cases are to be considered:
1st Case: Quality system already approved:

As mentioned in A.3.3 of the text of the directive, the NB shall presume conformity
with the
requirements referred to in point A.3.2 in respect of quality systems that
implement the
relevant harmonised standard. In conformity with the Council Decision 93/465/CEE,
the
harmonised standard referred to is the EN 29002.
Even if a quality system is certified according to the standard by an accredited
certification
body, the NB has the obligation to assess the system, in order to give approval.
The purpose
of module D is product certification, while the purpose of the harmonised standard
is system
certification. Accordingly, the assessment by the NB of quality systems, which are
certified,
should focus on the product-related parts of the system. The extent of the
assessment has to
be decided by the NB in each case. The NB may require modification of the system.
When the approval of the NB is partly based on the system certification of an
accredited
certification body, the surveillance by the NB should concentrate on:
- Validity of the certificate
- Review of audit reports and corrective action
- Focus on product related procedures and end product, rather than the system
in
general, during audits.
2nd Case: Quality system not approved
When the NB approves an uncertified quality system normal procedures for system
certification should be applied, again bearing in mind that product certification
is the main
object of the approval. Reference should be made to relevant parts of EN 29002 and
not to
the entire standards.
The above also applies to the surveillance of the quality system by the NB.

for existing boats to be certified, in line with Article 8.1 of the RCD, after they
have been
built. All essential safety requirements are applicable for such boats. In the
directive no
modules are defined for post construction assessment. RSG recommends Notified
Bodies to
follow as far as practical procedures of module G.
As examples, the following boats are covered by post construction assessment:

• boats that were not constructed, placed on the market or put into service in the
present
EEA Member State territory prior to the full application date of the Directive
• boats built for own use when placed on the market within the first five years of
completion
• boats intended solely for racing or experimental craft, subsequently placed on
the market
as recreational craft and therefore required to be CE marked in accordance with
the
Directive.
• Totally refitted boats (e.g. former commercial boats)
Attention is drawn to the responsibility and the legal aspects, having the owner,
the importer,
or the person placing the craft on the market or putting it into service in the
EEA, as
applicable, to assume the role of the manufacturer and being identified as the
responsible
person in this context.
RSG Guidelines offer, in general, a common interpretation of the conformity

assessment
procedures undertaken by Notified Bodies.
The present chapter gives additional information to assist with compliance with the
essential
safety requirements of the Directive, exclusively for those existing boats where
its application
could cause extensive modifications.
A.1. Boat Design Categories: see chapter E of the Guidelines
A.2.1. Craft identification: The scope of the requirement is to identify each craft
with some
indications relevant to the manufacturer, and particularly referred to a serial
production. In
case such information are missing or unidentified (e.g.: the date of build or model
year when
the builder is unknown) it becomes the responsible person’s duty to act as though
he was the
original builder and include such details in the CIN.
A.2.2. Builder’s plate: the responsible person takes the role of the manufacturer
and includes
his name on the plate.

A.2.3. Protection from falling overboard and means of reboarding: see chapter E of
the
Guidelines
A.2.4. Visibility from the main steering position: see chapter E of the Guidelines
A.2.5. Owner’s manual: the responsible person shall ensure that the manual is
provided in
accordance with chapter E of the Guidelines
A.3.1. Structure: in order to assess the strength of the structure it is

recommended to obtain
as much information as possible concerning hull construction and scantlings (e.g.:
past
acceptability by Certification Bodies or Local Authorities or declaration of
conformity in
accordance with the Annex III of the Directive) and any possible empirical data
(e.g.: details
of voyages undertaken or record relevant to adequate experience of safe operation
in an area
where the sea and weather condition are not less than those applicable in the
Design
Category). If there is insufficient documentation to assess construction of the
boat or
insufficient empirical data to demonstrate adequate strength compliance, then tests
may also
be carried out. A hull inspection should then be carried out in order to assess
satisfactorily the
conditions of the boat.
A.3.2. Stability and Freeboard: see chapter E of the Guidelines. For all design
categories,
a Notified Body is required to have assessed this Essential Safety Requirement
A.3.3. Buoyancy and Flotation: see chapter E of the Guidelines. For all design
categories,
a Notified Body is required to have assessed this Essential Safety Requirement
A.3.4. Openings in the hull, deck and superstructure: Tightness degree test and
strength
assessment relevant to the installation of the appliances according to EN ISO
12216:2002 is
required. This test may be omitted provided that a visual inspection is carried out
satisfactorily and adequate experience in the use may be demonstrated.
A.3.5. Flooding: see chapter E of the Guidelines.
A.3.6. Manufacturer’s Recommended Maximum Load: see chapter E of the Guidelines.

The maximum load, crew limit and design category are strictly linked. The
relationship
between the three items is given in the Stability and Buoyancy Standard
A.3.7. Liferaft stowage: see chapter E of the Guidelines
A.3.8. Escape: see chapter E of the Guidelines

A.3.9. Anchoring, mooring and towing: see chapter E of the Guidelines
A.4. Handling characteristics: see chapter E of the Guidelines
A.5.1. Engine and engine spaces: see chapter E of the Guidelines. In the absence of
satisfactory information insulating materials may be tested and the relevant
results included in
the Technical Documentation
Page 99/155
GUIDELINES 2005

February 2005
A.5.2. Fuel system: compliance of the fuel system may be assessed by mean of an
inspection
of the fuel system and parts of it as installed on the lines, including filling,
venting and return
hoses, connection to the tanks, fuel filters, any shut-off valves or auxiliary
equipment. In case
of petrol system, non-ignition protected components are required to be replaced in
the engine
compartment. Fuel tanks are to be inspected as installed to ascertain any corrosion
or leaking
areas, tests may be required.
A.5.3. Electrical system: inspection of the installed system including batteries,

generators,
switches, battery chargers is to be carried out as applicable. Information is
required to verify
the characteristics of the electrical cables and protection systems
A.5.4. Steering system: compliance with the relevant standards is to be assessed as

applicable. A functional test is required.
A.5.5 Gas system: a general inspection of the system including gas storage, gas
cylinders,
piping hoses, pressure devices and ventilation is required, tests may be required.
A.5.6. Fire protection: see chapter E of the Guidelines
A.5.7. Navigation lights: see chapter E of the Guidelines
A.5.8. Discharge prevention: see chapter E of the Guidelines
B. Exhaust Emissions: to be discussed
C. Noise Emissions: see chapter E of the Guidelines
Components listed in Annex II: components not CE certified in compliance with the
RCD
are to be inspected according to the relevant standards as applicable. In case such
components
are found not in compliance they are to be replaced.
Technical documentation: the owner, or the person putting the craft into EEA
service, is
also responsible to draw up the technical documentation and to retain this for at
least ten
years.

J. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE

RSG meets frequently to discuss the common interpretation and implementation of the
Directive.
Some of these decisions are established as Recommendation for Use (RFU). These RFUs
form an integral part of this RSG Guidelines and are taken into consideration by
the Notified
Bodies in their certification procedures. Recommendations for Use as worked out by
the RSG
are discussed for final acceptance by the Standing Committee established under
article 6(3) of
the Directive. Those RFUs, which have successfully passed this scrutiny procedure
are named
Approved Recommendation for Use (ARFU). Those RFUs which are still subject of
approval
by the Standing Committee remain named Recommendation for Use.
Additional RFUs are published prior to subsequent revisions of the RSG Guidelines
and are
available from the RSG Secretariat or from the RSG website, which is
http://www.rsg.be.
All ARFU’s and RFU’s valid at the time of issue of this revision of the RSG
Guidelines are
listed below.
Recommendations for Use as worked out by the RSG are discussed for final acceptance
by
the Standing Committee established under article 6(3) of the Directive. Those RFUs,
which
have successfully passed this scrutiny procedure are named Approved Recommendation
for
Use (ARFU). Those RFUs which are still subject of approval by the Standing
Committee
remain named Recommendation for Use.
In the course of the ongoing discussion some RFUs have become obsolete or have been
incorporated into the text of guidelines. Therefore, the following RFUs have been

Scenario/Questions:
According to module B (annex VII) par.4.1, the NB shall verify that the type has
been manufactured in
conformity with the technical documentation. Is this equivalent to a visit at the
manufacturer’s workshop to
inspect that he (or she) manufactures in conformity with the technical
documentation?
Or is it enough to let the manufacturer declare on his honor, with some sort of a
contract, that his
manufacturing process is in conformity?
1. To verify that a type with a laminated or moulded (e.g. FRP, wood)

construction has been
manufactured in conformity with the technical documentation the Notified
Body must visit the
workshop.
2. 2. To verify that a type with a non-laminated or moulded construction (such
as e.g. fabricated
steel, aluminum) has been manufactured in conformity with the technical
documentation, the
Notified Body should inspect the construction as appropriate for the
materials used.

Key Words:
Navigation light, COLREG
Scenario/Questions:
Is it sufficient for CE certification if the navigation lights meet the 1972

Colreg?
Some countries have adopted different standards according to Annex I, b in Colreg.

One example is a
one-half meter separation between the all round white light and sidelights or a
country specifies for
instance the height for the lens and requires its own national approval
certification.
The RSG considers recreational craft not fitted with navigation lights or fitted
with navigation lights in
accordance with Annex I from Colreg 1972 for installation locations, light
intensity, chromaticity and cut-off
angles to comply with the RCD.
Note
National administrations may apply different requirements for local use, as
provided for in rule 1 b of 1972
Colreg.
“COLREG 1972: Annex I, point 13:
Approval: The construction of light and shapes and the installation of light on

Hull identification code, country of manufacture
Scenario/Questions:
Question:
1) Is the use of country code for the hull identification for the country of
manufacture normative?
2) Is it possible to have different interpretations on the use of the HIN-code for
country of manufacture?
Preamble:
The HIN-code identifies the hull of the craft and hence the country of the origin
of ONLY the hull. The DOC
is the legal document for placing the craft on the market within the EU.
Description of problem:
1) There are hulls and crafts both subcontracted and manufactured in third
countries which uses the
orders country code (countries within the EU) for the hull identification,
which is against the relevant
standard and the RCD (Annex I, ESR 2.1, second indent - country of
manufacture).
2) This may lead to unfair competition and is also misleading regarding the origin
of the hull.
3) The country code for the same craft may differ depending on to which country’s
market a boat is being
placed on. This may cause confusion having the same boat with different HIN-
codes for the country
prefix.
The Hull Identification Number (HIN) shall reflect the party on the builder’s plate
or the manufacturer of the
craft.

Kit boats
Scenario/Questions:
Are Kit boats covered by the RCD? There are two interpretations possible for kit
boats:
- as amateur built boats they are out of the field of the Directive
- as indicated in the "Comments to the Directive combined" when all parts
necessary for completion
are supplied and subject to confirmation that the building is properly
made, a kit boat can be CE
marked.
The interpretation of kit boat should be as given in the CC document, i.e. all
parts necessary for
completion are supplied by a professional manufacturer. As a person building a boat
for own use shall not
have it built by others, a kit boat cannot be considered as amateur built. Hence,
kit boats of length 2,5-24m
are covered by the RCD. Reference is made to the CC document Chapter 1, Article1.

Insulation material engine room
Scenario/Questions:
During RSG meeting 20-21 November 1997 it was decided that part 2 of ISO 4589 would
be used for
determination of allowable insulation materials. The comments to the directive as
well as the RSG
guidelines refer to ISO 4589 or ASTM D2863. ASTM D2863 is technically equivalent to
ISO 4589 part 2 as
mentioned on the web site of ASTM (direct link underneath):"--This test method and
ISO 4589-2 are
technically equivalent when using the Type A gas measurement and control device
accuracy as described
in 6.4.."
Therefore we can conclude that the comments and the RSG guidelines mean ISO 4589
part 2 for fulfilling
requirement of E.S.R. 5.1.1 Inboard engine. However ISO 9094-1 (relevant standard
for ESR 6.1) refers to
ISO 4589 part 3. As it is not possible to compare both tests this would mean that a
producer needs to
have his material tested twice in order to fulfil both requirements.

Scenario/Questions:
ISO 6185 (part 1-2-3) is applicable to inflatable boats and RIBs having overall
length less than 8,00 m.
The current production is growing in size so that RIBs longer than 8 m are more and
more popular (up to

compartment", § 4.7, the
ignition protection of electrical devices is reduced to compartments which are not
open to atmosphere
(Definition
given in §3.1 of that standard).
Furthermore in ISO 10088:2001 in §4.3.4 it says that "Petrol engine compartments
and petrol tank
compartments shall have ventilation and ignition protection in accordance with ISO
11105 and ISO 8846".
However in ISO 10088:2001 in §4.1.5 it says that "Electrical devices located in
compartments with petrol
tanks or petrol fuel system connections or joints shall be ignition protected in
accordance with ISO 8846".
Question: Should electrical devices be ignition protected in petrol engine/tank

compartments that are just
opened to atmosphere in their upper part and corners are existing inside these
compartments where petrol
gas might accumulate?
Yes, electrical devices that are installed in compartments defined as open to
atmosphere
have to be ignition protected, if the regarding compartments have their opening
solely in
the upper part.

category C
Scenario/Questions:
Reference is taken to the harmonisation of EN ISO 12217 part 1, 2 and 3. What

implication does this
harmonisation have?
Harmonised standards in the meaning of the New Approach are deemed to exist when
the European
standards organisations (CEN) formally present to the Commission the European
standards elaborated or
identified in conformity with the mandate (quote from the “blue book”).
The Commission has been formally informed by CEN about the adoption of EN ISO 12217
part 1 and part
2 on 31.7.2002 of EN ISO 12217-part 3 on 31.8.2002. Therefore, the harmonised
standards referred to in
Article 8 (1), para 2 (a), indent 1 (self certification) are deemed to exist and
boat-builders can apply the
provisions of that article.
Builders should be informed by the approached NB at the time of the first contact
about the possibilities for
self-assessment and all related required documentation.
Builders shall apply self-certification (module A) for boats assigned to design-

category C below Lh <12m
when complying with ISO 12217, harmonised stability standard.
Where a boat finally proves compliance with the harmonised standard, a NB cannot
issue any regular
document with reference to the directive. If conformity to the Harmonised standard
is found, Documents in
the Voluntary Domain may be issued, at the discretion of the NB, showing
conformance with EN ISO
12217-X.
If conformity to the Harmonised standard is not found, a Statement in the
Regulatory Domain may be
issued, at the discretion of the NB (ref. Annex VI) taking due consideration to RFU
40, showing
conformance with the RCD Annex I essential safety requirements 3.2 and 3.3.

Key Words:
Craft modification during production
Scenario/Questions:
There are two forms of craft modifications during production:
1. Modification of a product type (Module B): The manufacturer changes one

model of the EC type
approved product. In this case the manufacturer has to inform the notified
body, who holds the
technical documentation, of the change he made. When the change affects the
conformity of the
ESRs, an addition to the EC type examination certificate must be issued.
This scenario is stated in
Annex VII para 6.
2. Modification of a product (Module A or Aa): The manufacturer changes the
product, rather than
the product type. When he modifies the product to such extend that it would
affect the ESRs, the
craft could be considered as a new product and the manufacturer should self-
certify the product
again.
Is the understanding of both cases above correct?

Do modifications that affect the ESR in a positive way need to be re-assessment?
If the ESRs are affected by modifications the craft should be re-assessed.

Annex: I, A.5.2.1
Key Words:
Fuel Return lines
Scenario/Questions:
Some automotive based diesel engines, commonly used in small craft, feature non-
fire resistant tubing to
carry leak-off fuel from the injectors. This fuel return normally connects with the
fuel pump return line
before going to the tank.
In the event of a fire it is believed that a failure of these tubes could lead to a
leak of fuel that may increase
or 'feed' 'the fire.
The fitting of hose that meets the fire resistance test of ISO 7840 in place of the
original tubing is
impractical due to the design of the injector and the non-availability of suitable
small bore hose.
By arranging the tube installation so that the amount of fuel in the injector
return system is reduced to the
minimum the possibility of 'feeding' the fire is removed.
Or by shielding the injector return system from fire, the risk of failure is
removed.
All three following options meet the Essential Safety Requirement 5.2.1."The
filling, storage, venting and
fuel-supply arrangements and installations shall be designed and installed so as to
minimise the risk of fire
and explosion".
Option 1: To minimise the flow of fuel from the injector leak off tubes in
the event of a failure, a
separate injector leak-off return line, self draining to the fuel
tank, or other collection tank.
OR
Option 2: To minimise the risk of reverse flow from either the fuel tank
return line or the fuel pump
return line in the event of the injector fuel return line failing
due to fire damage, the
installation of a non-return valve between the injector leak off
line and the fuel pump return
line.
OR
Option 3: To minimise the risk of failure through fire, the injector return
system shall be shielded and
fire tested in accordance with ISO 7840 Annex A, as installed on
the engine.
The three options shall apply to engines with a total fuel flow rate (all
injectors, excluding injector pump) in
the injector return system of maximum 8.3 ml/min.

Scenario/Questions:
A boat is under RCD assessment. The manufacturer installs parallel to some device
(# 1) covered by the
RCD requirements a second device of same function but different characteristics (#
2) leaving by some
switch the choice of using the one or the other device by the user.
With # 1 the boat complies fully with RCD. If # 2 would be installed as the only
option, the boat would not
comply with RCD.
The OM shows the caution note: Please use device # 2 only when having left EU
demarcation lines.
Is this approach in accordance with RCD?
No. (Compare RCD Article 3)

Annex: I
Key Words:
Powered remote controlled unmanned device
Scenario/Questions:
A builder in the USA is about to be assessed for a product, a self-propelled
"doodlebug" which tows a
water-skier. The skier controls the speed and direction of this self powered device
through the connecting
tow line.
No one rides on it, but it does have all the other features of a boat; engine, fuel
system, steering et cetera.
These vessels are banned in Canada.
Is it a craft covered by the RCD?
The RSG is regarding it as “powered surfboard”. Therefore it is excluded from the

RCD (compare
Article 1.3.d).

Question related to
Directive No.: RCD 2003/44/EC Standard: Other:
Article:
Annex: Annex VI.B.
Key Words: Boat families
Scenario/Questions:
Annex VI.B states:
“For recreational craft fitted with inboard or stern drive engines without integral
exhaust and for personal
watercraft:
On one or several craft representing the production of the craft manufacturer, the
sound emission tests
defined in Annex I.C shall be carried out by the craft manufacturer, or on his
behalf, under the
responsibility of a notified body chosen by the manufacturer.”
Module Aa recognizes that not all craft will have to be tested if the builder can
establish a selection of craft
representing the production. Furthermore, it should be noted the European
Commission’s Application
Guide to Directive 94/25/EC specifies in relation to Module Aa assessment that “in
discussions with the
manufacturer, the notified body should agree on the type, number and scope of the
tests to be carried
out”.
How can the builder establish this selection of craft representing the production?
Note: The RSG agrees to the concept of Boat Families as outlined below. However, it
should be
noted that certain parameters may be subject to further evaluation.
“Boat family” is a grouping of craft which have similar sound emission

characteristics and which comply
with the sound emission requirements of the directive.
Boat builders select “Master Boats” against which other boats are assessed. Such
Master Boats must
have taken and passed the “pass-by” test (EN ISO 14509).
The following provides a guide for establishing such grouping:

GmbH
421 3351711
Boat builders may establish boat families in discussion with their Notified Body by
using the following
guidelines:
CRITERIA TO DEVELOP BOAT FAMILIES
1. Selection of Master Boat.

• Selection of Master Boats should be made in coordination with
the Notified Body.
• Master Boats must record a sound level in the EN ISO 14509
pass by test equal to or
3
less than the following :
a.Single Engined Craft – 72 dB(A)
b.Multiple Engined Craft - 75 dB(A)
This is because of the current tolerance between
pass-by sound measurements
and on-board sound measurements. (It is hoped that
this tolerance may be
revised down slightly following further evaluation
from the Soundboat project)
2. Hull Parameters for Building a Boat Family:
Key Parameters Units Master Family Tolerance

on-board sound
3. Operating and Test Conditions for on-board sound measurement

• The boat speed shall be 70kph or maximum speed whichever is
the smaller
• Equipment Specification: The sound measurement equipment
including the
windshield recommended by the manufacturer shall meet the
requirements for a
Class 2 instrument according to IEC 61672-1. A sound
calibrator, which meets the
requirements of IEC 60942 shall be used. The overall
acoustic performance of the
measurement equipment shall be checked with the sound
calibrator according to the
instructions of its manufacturer at the beginning and at the
end of each series of
measurements, and at least at the beginning and end of each
measurement day. The
sound calibrator used for calibration of the sound level
meter shall undergo laboratory
verification every year with traceability to a primary
standards laboratory. The
microphone shield shall not show any evidence of moisture.
4. Measurement of on-board Sound

• Measurements shall be made at the seven microphone positions given in the
figure in paragraph 5
below.
RSG Technical Secretariat, c/o BALance Technology

Consulting GmbH
+49 421 3351711
URL: http://www.rsg.be; e-mail: rsg@balance-
bremen.de
• The microphone is best fitted to the end of a pole which is held manually
in turn at each of the
positions indicated in paragraph 5 for the time specified
• Each on-board sound level measurement shall be recorded over a 10 s period.
• At all times the microphone windshield must remain dry.
• The average of these seven sound level measurements shall be the arithmetic
average of the
value measured at each of the seven microphone positions.
• Master Boats. The sound level recorded on the sound pass-by test shall be
subtracted from the
allowable maximum in paragraph 1a or 1b above as applicable. This should be
added to the
actual recorded on-board sound. This total will be known as the Master
Boat’s Maximum
Allowable Sound.
• Family Boats. The family boat’s on-board sound measurement must be equal to
or less than the
Master Boat’s Maximum Allowable Sound.
• The family boat’s average sound level measurement is the on-board sound
level to be inserted at
Item 9 in the Key Parameters Table in paragraph 1 above.
Example:
The Master Boat with a single engine records the following sound emissions:
• EN ISO 14509 Test: 69dB(A)
• On-board sound: 80dB(A)
The Family Boat on-board sound measurement is made
Calculation of Maximum Allowable Sound
• Allowed sound level (single engine) (a) 72dB(A)
• Recorded EN ISO 14509 sound (b) 69dB(A)
• Difference (a) minus (b) = (c) 3dB(A)
• Maximum Allowable Sound: Recorded on-board sound (80dB(A)) + Difference at
(c) 3dB(A)
= 83dB(A). This must be entered at Serial 9 in the table in paragraph 2.
• Recorded On-Board Sound of family boat was 82dB(A), which is less than
the Master Boat’s
Maximum Allowable Sound of 83dB(A). The 82dB(A) must be entered at Serial
9 in the table
in paragraph 2.
4. On-board Sound Measurement.
Microphone Positions. Measurements shall be made at the seven microphone
positions shown
below:
Tolerance: +0.5m
NB.
Microphones shall be located not less than 1m from the hull and not more than 1.5m
from the hull.
Similarly they shall be located not less than 1m from the water surface and not
more than 1.5m from the
water surface.

European Standard EN ISO 6185-1 : 2001 has the status of a DIN Standard.
A comma is used as the decimal marker.
This standard includes safety requirements within the meaning of the

Gerätesicherheitsgesetz (German
Equipment Safety Law).
National foreword
This standard has been published in accordance with a decision taken by
CEN/CMC to adopt, without
alteration, International Standard ISO 6185-1 as a European Standard.
The responsible German body involved in its preparation was the
Normenausschuss Sport- und Freizeitgerät
(Sports Equipment Standards Committee).
The scope of this standard explicitly excludes single-chambered boats, a fact
which the responsible German
committee interprets as a statement that such boats are not safe. This opinion
is, however, not shared by
other CEN members, and Germany fears that single-chambered boats could
subsequently enter the market
without being covered by a standard.
In Germany and elsewhere, current safety regulations require that inflatable
boats retain a residual buoyancy
after a chamber has failed, following the principle of redundancy for
essential functions. Single-chambered
boats cannot fulfil this requirement and their use is therefore unsafe.
The DIN Standards corresponding to the International Standards referred to in
clause 2 of the EN are as
follows:
