Welcome to the Boat CE Certification & Homologation course!

Boat CE Certification & Homologation https://navalapp.com/courses/boat-ce-certification-homologation/

In the European Union (EU) and many other countries and regions worldwide, with some exceptions, a boat must be officially certified through a homologation process before it can be placed on the market or put into service. However, this process of homologating and certifying a boat is often not very well known, sometimes leading to frustration and loss of time and money.

Homologation is the process during which a product is certified to comply with a given legislation. The certification declares a product is compliant with it and is issued at the end of the homologation process. In this course, we explain the process of homologating and certifying a boat in the EU in a clear, concise, and appealing way. The course is intended for:

• Boat manufacturers, authorized representatives, importers, and distributors.
• Private boat importers, persons who modify or convert boats, and individuals who build a boat for their own use.
• Persons who are not part of any of the groups mentioned before and who are interested in learning how to homologate and certify a boat in the European Union.

This course explains how to homologate and certify (CE marking) a boat in the European Union (EU).

It covers the European Recreational Craft Directive 2013/53/UE, a.k.a. RCDII or RCD2, including the legislator’s context and intention, and focuses on the key elements to obtain a boat’s CE marking.

The course is divided into five parts:

• The first part presents the European Recreational Craft Directive (RCD), its origin, how it works, and its intention.
• Part 2 describes the essential requirements of the RCD: what they are and how to meet them.
• In Part 3, we are going further about the certification process, the actors, and the tools used.
• Part 4 is devoted to the documentation requested by the directive: what it is and what it involves.
• Finally, part 5 addresses the subject of market surveillance, how states are involved, and their role.

The course combines the explanations with practical and real-life examples.
