9.1 Product compliance schemes
Electronic navigation equipment on boats and ships within the
European Common marked (EC) are regulated by two main
directives:
• Directive 89/336/EC Electromagnetic Compatibility, "EMC
directive"
- This directive is applicable to more or less all boats,
including leisure boats. Refer CE mark section below
• Council Directive 96/98/EC of 20 December 1996 on marine
equipment, "Marine directive" or "MED"
- This directive is valid for ships that come under
international conventions such as LL66, Colreg, Marpol,
and Solas. Refer to the Wheelmark section below
The Marine directive requirements include the requirements of
the EMC directive, and a product which comply with the
Marine directive is therefore automatically also in compliance
with EMC directive.
CE mark
The CE mark is placed on a product as the manufacturer’s visual
identifier that the product meets the requirements of relevant
European Directives. The CE mark is mandatory for a wide
range of products sold within or exported to the European
market, and applies to all Electric- and Electronic equipment.
When the equipment is tested according to the requirements in
the Directive 89/336/EEC, the CE marking is applied to the
units to symbolize Simrad’s Declaration of Conformity with the
directive.
The CE declaration for any CE marked unit can be obtained
from your Simrad distributor.
Wheelmark
The Wheelmark symbol (Mark of Conformity) is an
accreditation that is required for equipment placed on board
ships for which safety certificates are issued by, or on behalf of,
Member States of the European Union.
