Moreover, you can just dimension your boat with your own rules, then you can present to a notified body a technical relation that demonstrates that your boat has all the needed requisites, and if you convince the notified body that you're right, your boat will be certified.

Obviously the latter is very complicated to achieve and usually is not worth, but it can be done. If you are already in contact with a CB you can ask them and see what they say.

Totally right.
As a matter of fact most of the ISO rules are not mandatory under the RCD. Only a few. Nor is the needing of a Notified Body if using the A modulus. For these and other interpretations of the RCD I recommend the consulting of the 2009 RSG Guidelines.
