Mercury  MerCruiser  products  installed  by  a  Mercury  Installation  Quality  Certified
Manufacturer are Installation Quality certified products and may receive an additional one
(1) year of limited warranty coverage.
The  Installation  Quality  Certification  program  was  developed  to  recognize  MerCruiser
boatbuilder customers who have achieved higher manufacturing standards. It is the first
and only comprehensive manufacturer‑installation certification program in the industry.
The program has three goals:
1. To enhance overall product quality.
2. To improve the boat ownership experience.
3. To enhance overall customer satisfaction.
The  certification  process  is  designed  to  review  all  facets  of  manufacturing  and  engine
installation. The program is composed of design, manufacturing and installation review
stages with which builders must comply. Certification applies leading‑edge methodologies
to create:
• Efficiencies and best practices specific to engine installation.
• World‑class assembly and component specifications.
• Efficient installation processes.
• Industry standard end‑of‑line test procedures
Boat  builders  that  successfully  complete  the  program  and  meet  all  certification
requirements earn Installation Quality System Certified Manufacturer status and receive
an  additional  one  (1)  year  of  Mercury  limited  factory  warranty  coverage  on  all
MerCruiser‑powered boats that are registered on and after the boat builder's certification
date for all worldwide registrations.
Mercury  has  designated  a  section  of  our  Website  to  promote  the  Installation  Quality
Certification Program and communicate its benefits to consumers.  For  a  current  list  of
MerCruiser‑powered boat brands that have earned Installation Quality Certification, visit

Emission Control Information Label
A tamper‑resistant Emission Control Information label is affixed in a visible location to the
engine at time of manufacture by Mercury MerCruiser. In addition to the required emissions
statement, the label lists the engine serial number, family, STD (emission standard/level),
date of manufacture (month, year), and the engine displacement. Please note that the low
emissions  certification  will  not  affect  the  fit,  function,  or  performance  of  the  engines.
Boatbuilders and dealers may not remove the label or the part it is affixed to before sale.
If  modifications  are  necessary,  contact  Mercury  MerCruiser  about  the  availability  of
replacement decals before proceeding.
