CE certification help

[Nick F]

Hay guys
i'm working on a RIB(5.5m) mainly for New Zealand and Australia, but want to build I to a standard that will let it be exported to Europe. my question is around the design and build standards. I understand that to sell a boat in Europe it needs to have a CE certification. Correct? so were is a good source to find all the applicable standards for this style of boat. I do have access to some ISO standards.
Is there a CE representative in New Zealand or close to get in contact with?
Any help or info to point me in the right direction would be greatly received.

Thanks Nick :)

If you use this, the boat should be ok anywhere.

HADDOCK, (AD HOC) that was very helpful thanks very much, now if you could find the rule for class b and c, in the recreational craft directive on freeboard that would really be great:))

You Have To Call To A Classification Society For Example Rina.
I Make A Ce Certificate And The Most Difficult Things That Ask Is The Compliance With Some Simple Stability Calculation.
The Boat In Object Was Already Buildt.

Nick F, you did not mention if this vessel is for recreational or commercial use, and if commercial, if it is for light or heavy duty. In Australia, we do not automatically accept CE certified boats for commercial use. It depends on under what module it was built under. For heavy duty, use LR SSC; for light duty, use ISO.

ISO 12215 I believe is the CE stuff for boats.

[Dingo]

ISO 12215-5 and 12215-6 are the structural calculations required for submittal to MNZ (SGS or Survey Nelson etc.) or one of the Australian state authorities. Stability is not performed to ISO in Australia and NZ; the NSCV code in AUstralia and MNZ's Part 40A or 40B is used instead.

[jelmerwijma]

For RIBs ISO 6185 is applicable to show compliance with the RCD requirements (CE). This standard consists of three parts for inflatable boats less then 8 metres in length.

The standard explains very clear the tests to conduct. Most of them are practicle tests like a drop test, stability test with persons onboard, rowing tests, etc.

For boats with a length of hull less then 12 metres in design category C or D you are allowed to do self certification (no notified body has to be involved). Just follow the standard 6185, write an owners manual and put a CIN code and builders plate to the boat.

During my previous job as a CE surveyor, I have conducted many inspections of inflatable boats for boat builders in Australia, South Africa, China, England, Egypt, the Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark. I have also been closely involved with the development of the ISO 6185 standards. Please do not hesitate to contact if you have any questions or if I can be of help (info@marineconsultants.nl).
