Rules of Certification of Navigation Instruments and Equipment
Journal Title: Biuletyn Instytutu Morskiego - Year 2016, Vol 31, Issue 1
Abstract
The European Union is committed to European integration. Poland has been a member of the EU since 2004 under the Treaty of Accession, which was signed in 2003 in Athens. Joining the European Union is associated with developing a modern legal system. Each product is subject to certification, the process by which a notified legal body provides a written report about the results of the studies of a product. The legal body that provided a uniform framework for the use of marine equipment testing standards is the European Council Directive 96/98 EC of 20 December 1996. The Directive MED was established for the safety of marine transport. The compliance of navigation devices with the Directive MED was confirmed by the “Wheelmark” (“Steering Wheel”). In Poland, the requirements for certification of marine equipment under Directive MED, were implemented after the act regulating the provisions of EU law; these requirements are not widely known among practitioners. This certification system of marine equipment is a coherent system executory throughout the European Union.
