Approvals

20222469 / B 115

8 APPROVALS

8.1 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/EEC 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.
