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, and in particular Article 84 (2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission1,

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee2,

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 189c of the Treaty3,

  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 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 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 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 marine equipment have been developed by the international standardization 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 qualifications and experience; whereas that leads to varying levels of safety for products which the competent national authorities have certified as complying with the relevant international safety standards 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 differences in the implementation of international standards; whereas such common rules will result in the elimination of unnecessary costs and administrative procedures relating to the approval of equipment, the improvement of operating conditions and of the competitive position of Community shipping and the elimination of 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 seas4 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 of achieving such harmonization, since Member States acting independently 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 application 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 by national 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 free movement of certain products which could be used inter alia, as equipment on board ships but which do not concern the Member States' certification of equipment in accordance with the relevant international conventions; whereas equipment to be placed on board ships must therefore be regulated exclusively by new common 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 bodies that 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 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 the affixing and use of the CE conformity marking, which are intended to be used in the technical harmonization Directives5; 

  14. Whereas nothing in this Directive restricts the right granted to a flag 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 the conformity-assessment procedures;

  15. Whereas equipment covered by this Directive should, as a general rule, bear a mark to indicate its compliance with the requirement of this Directive;

  16. Whereas Member States may in certain cases take provisional measures to limit or prohibit the use of equipment bearing the mark of conformity;

  17. Whereas the use of equipment not bearing the mark of conformity 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:

Annex A1 Equipment for which detailed testing standards already exist in international instruments

Annex A.1 - Equipment for which detailed testing standards already exist in international instruments

Notes applicable to the whole of Annex A.1:

a)

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.

 

b)Column 1:

Article 2 of Commission Directive 2009/26/EC1 may apply.

 

c)Column 2:

Article 2 of Commission Directive 2010/68/EU2 may apply.

 

d)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.

 

e)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.

 

f)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.

 

g)Column 6:

Where module H appears, module H plus design-examination certificate is to be understood.

 

h)

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

1 EC Type-examination (ModuleB)

1 - EC Type-examination (ModuleB)

  1. A notified body must ascertain and attest that a specimen, representative of the production envisaged, complies with the provisions of the international instruments that apply to it.

  2. The application for the EC type-examination must be lodged by the manufacturer or his authorized representative established within the Community with a notified body of his choice.

    The application must include:
    • the name and address of the manufacturer and, if the application is lodged by the authorized representative, his name and address as well,
    • a written declaration that the same application has not been lodged simultaneously with any other notified body,
    • the technical documentation as described in point 3.


    The applicant must place at the disposal of the notified body a specimen, representative of the production envisaged and hereinafter called 'type`1. The notified body may request further specimens if needed for the test programme.

  3. The technical documentation must make it possible to assess the product's compliance with the requirements of the relevant international instruments. It must, as far as is relevant for such assessment, cover the design, the building standard, manufacture, installation and functioning of the product in accordance with the description of technical documentation set down in the Appendix to this Annex.

  4. The notified body must:
  1. examine the technical documentation and verify that the type has been manufactured in accordance with the technical documentation;

  2. perform the appropriate examinations and necessary tests or have them performed to check whether the requirements of the relevant international instruments have actually been met;

  3. agree with the applicant the location where the examinations and necessary tests will be carried out.

  • Where the type meets the provisions of the relevant international instruments, the notified body must issue an EC type-examination certificate to the applicant. The certificate must give the name and address of the manufacturer, details of the equipment, the conclusions of the examination, the conditions of its validity and the necessary data for identification of the approved type.

    A list of the relevant parts of the technical documentation must be annexed to the certificate and a copy kept by the notified body.

    If a manufacturer is refused a type-certification, the notified body must give detailed reasons for that refusal.

    Where a manufacturer reapplies for type-approval for equipment for which a type-certificate has been refused, his submission to the notified body must include all relevant documentation, including the original test reports, the detailed reasons for the previous refusal and details of all modifications made to the equipment.

  • 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, which 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 an addition to the original EC type-examination certificate.

  • Each notified body must, on request, provide flag Member State administrations and the other notified bodies with the relevant information concerning the EC type-examination certificates and additions issued and withdrawn.

  • The other notified bodies may receive copies of the EC type-examination certificates and/or their additions. The Annexes to the certificates must be kept at the disposal of the other notified bodies.

  • The manufacturer or his authorized representative established within the Community must keep with the technical documentation copies of EC type-examination certificates and their additions for at least 10 years after the last product has been manufactured.

1  A type may cover several versions of the product provided that the differences between the versions do not affect the level of safety or the other requirements concerning the performance of the product.
