CE Certification Services

The CE Marking for recreational crafts and their components demonstrates high product quality and safety for both consumers and the environment throughout the entire lifecycle of the vessels.

According to the new Recreational Craft Directive (RCD) 2013/53/EU applicable as of 18 January 2016, CE marking is mandatory for new and used recreational crafts from 2,5 m (8 ft) up to 24 m (79 ft) hull length and their components if they are placed within the EU market.
