WheelMark to Marine Equipment - Introduction

The mark which is affixed to products in compliance with the Marine Equipment Directive consists of a ships wheel together with the identification number of the Notified Body which carries out the production surveillance together with the last 2 digits of the year of manufacture.

The Marine Equipment Directive 96/98 EN has came into force on January 1st 1999 and covers a range of equipment carried on board ships registered under the flags of the European Union Member States. It was established to ensure that equipment which must comply with the requirements of international conventions (e.g. SOLAS) agreed by the International Maritime Organization also meets common standards of safety and performance across the EU. Approval requirements are also harmonized which ensures certificates issued in one Member State are accepted by all States across the EU. The Directive applies to all ‘Community Registered Ships’ and is mandatory from January 1, 2001.

WheelMark to Marine Equipment - Certification modules

The Marine Equipment Directive lists the required modules, type examination and attestation requirements for each product. The Notified Body could perform Modules B,D,E and F in accordance with the list of equipment, all relating to Fire Protection. The manufacturer has the option to select (except for primary deck coverings) between the following combinations of modules :B+D,B+E or B+F. For Fire Protection equipment, no one module is allowed in isolation.

> Module B
This is the EC Type Examination (formally Type Approval) and is the procedure by which the Notified Body ascertains and attests that a specimen of the product, representative of the envisaged production, meets the relevant provisions of the MED. The Notified Body either tests or witnesses tests and certifies (via a Type Examination Certificate) that the specimen complies with the criteria given in the Fire Test Procedures Code (IMO MSC 61 (67)).

> Module D
This module relates to production quality assurance and is linked therefore to ISO 9002 certification. The manufacturer must operate to an approved quality system which itself is subject to periodic surveillance. The quality system must apply to the production process, final product inspection and to quality control testing.
