COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 96/98/EC
of 20 December 1996
on marine equipment
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and

in particular Article 84 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social
Committee (2),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 189c of
the Treaty (3),
(1) Whereas within the framework of the common transport policy
further measures must be adopted to ensure safety in maritime
transport;
(2) Whereas shipping accidents are a matter of serious concern to
the Community, in particular those that cause loss of human
life and pollution of the Member States' seas and coastlines;
(3) Whereas the risk of shipping accidents can be effectively
reduced by means of common standards that ensure high safety
levels in the performance of the equipment carried on board
ships; whereas testing standards and testing methods can have
great influence on the future performance of equipment;
(4) Whereas international conventions require flag States to ensure
that the equipment carried on board ships complies with certain
safety requirements and to issue the relevant certificates;
whereas to that end testing standards for certain types of marine
equipment have been developed by the international standardiza-
tion bodies and by the International Maritime Organization
(IMO); whereas the national testing standards implementing the
international standards leave a margin of discretion certification
authorities, which themselves have different levels of qualifica-
tions and experience; whereas that leads to varying levels of
safety for products which the competent national authorities
have certified as complying with the relevant international safety
standards and to great reluctance on the part of Member States to
accept that without further verification ships flying their flags
carry equipment approved by other Member States;
(5) Whereas common rules must be laid down to eliminate differ-
ences in the implementation of international standards; whereas
such common rules will result in the elimination of unnecessary
costs and administrative procedures relating to the approval of
equipment, the improvement of operating conditions and of the
competitive position of Community shipping and the elimination
of technical barriers to trade by means of the mark of conformity
affixed to equipment;
(6) Whereas in its resolution of 8 June 1993 on a common policy on
safe seas (4) the Council urged the Commission to submit propo-
sals for harmonizing the implementation of IMO standards and
the procedures for the approval of marine equipment;
(7) Whereas action at Community level is the only possible way of
achieving such harmonization, since Member States acting inde-

pendently or through international organizations cannot establish
the same level of safety performance in equipment;
(8) Whereas a Council Directive is the appropriate legal instrument
as it provides a framework for uniform and compulsory applica-
tion of the international testing standards by Member States;
(9) Whereas it is appropriate in the first place to address equipment
the carriage of which on board ship and the approval of which
by national administrations in accordance with safety standards
laid down in international conventions or resolutions is manda-
tory under the main international conventions;
(10) Whereas there are various Directives that ensure the free move-
ment of certain products which could be used inter alia, as
equipment on board ships but which do not concern the Member
States' certification of equipment in accordance with the relevant
international conventions; whereas equipment to be placed on
board ships must therefore be regulated exclusively by new
common rules;
(11) Whereas new testing standards must be laid down, preferably at
international level, for equipment for which such standards do
not already exist or are not sufficiently detailed;
(12) Whereas Member States should ensure that the notified bodies
that assess the compliance of equipment with testing standards
are independent, efficient and professionally competent to carry
out their tasks;
(13) Whereas compliance with international testing standards can best
be demonstrated by means of conformity-assessment procedures
such as those laid down in Council Decision 93/465/EEC of 22
July 1993 concerning the modules for the various phases of the
conformity-assessment procedures and the rules for the affixing
and use of the CE conformity marking, which are intended to
be used in the technical harmonization Directives (1);
(14) Whereas nothing in this Directive restricts the right granted to a
flag State administration by international conventions to carry
out operational-performance tests on board a ship for which it
has issued a safety certificate, provided such tests do not dupli-
cate the conformity-assessment procedures;
(15) Whereas equipment covered by this Directive should, as a
general rule, bear a mark to indicate its compliance with the
requirement of this Directive;
(16) Whereas Member States may in certain cases take provisional
measures to limit or prohibit the use of equipment bearing the
mark of conformity;
(17) Whereas the use of equipment not bearing the mark of confor-
mity may be allowed in exceptional circumstances;
(18) Whereas a simplified procedure involving a regulatory
committee must be followed for the amendment of this Direc-
tive,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
Article 1

Article 8
1. In the case of a new ship which, irrespective of its flag, is not
registered in a Member State but is to be transferred to the register of
a Member State, such a ship shall, on transfer, be subject to inspection
by the receiving Member State to verify that the actual condition of its
equipment corresponds to its safety certificates and either complies
with this Directive and bears the mark or is equivalent, to the satisfac-
tion of that Member State's administration, to equipment type-approval
in accordance with this Directive.
2. Unless the equipment either bears the mark or that administration
considers it to be equivalent, it shall be replaced.
3. Equipment which is considered equivalent pursuant to this Article
shall be given a certificate by the Member State which shall at all
times be carried with the equipment and which gives the flag Member
State's permission for the equipment to be placed on board the ship and
imposes any restrictions or lays down any provisions relating to the use
of the equipment.
4. In the case of radiocommunications equipment, the flag State
administration shall require that such equipment does not unduly affect
the requirements of the radio-frequency spectrum.
Article 9
1. Member States shall notify the Commission and the other
Member States of the bodies which they have designated to carry out
the procedures for in Article 10 together with the specific tasks which
those notified bodies have been designated to carry out and the identi-
fication numbers assigned to them beforehand by the Commission.
Each organization shall submit to the Member State which intends to
designate it complete information concerning, and evidence of compli-
ance with the criteria laid down in Annex C.
2. At least once every two years each Member State shall cause an
audit of the duties its notified bodies are undertaking on its behalf to be
carried out by the administration or by an impartial external organiza-
tion appointed by the administration. That audit shall ensure that each
notified body continues to comply with the criteria laid down in Annex
C.
3. A Member State which has designated a body shall withdraw its
designation if it finds that that body no longer complies with the
criteria laid down in Annex C. It shall immediately inform the
Commission and the other Member States accordingly.
Article 10
1. The conformity-assessment procedure, details of which are listed
in Annex B, shall be:
(i) EC type-examination (module B) and, before equipment is placed

1996L0098 — EN — 29.11.2002 — 004.001 — 8
▼B
3. Where sets of equipment are produced individually or in small
quantities and not in series or in mass, the conformity-assessment
procedure may be the EC unit verification (module G).
4. The Commission shall keep an up-to-date list of approved equip-
ment and applications withdrawn or refused and shall make it available
to interested parties.
Article 11
1. Equipment referred to in Annex A.1 which complies with the
relevant international instruments and is manufactured in accordance
with the conformity-assessment procedures shall have the mark affixed
to it by the manufacturer or his authorized representative established
within the Community.
2. The mark shall be followed by the identification number of the
notified body which has performed the conformity-assessment proce-
dure, if that body is involved in the production-control phase, and by
the last two digits of the number of the year in which the mark is
affixed. The identification number of the notified body shall be affixed
under its responsibility either by the body itself or by the manufacturer
or his authorized representative established within the Community.
3. The form of the mark to be used shall be as set out in Annex D.
4. The mark shall be affixed to the equipment or to its data plate so
as to be visible, legible and indelible throughout the anticipated useful
life of the equipment. However, where that is not possible or not
warranted on account of the nature of the piece of equipment, it shall
be affixed to the packaging of the product, to a label or to a leaflet.
5. No marks or inscriptions which are likely to mislead third parties
with regard to the meaning or the graphics of the mark referred to in
this Directive shall be affixed.
6. The mark shall be affixed at the end of the production phase.
Article 12
1. Notwithstanding Article 6, each Member State may take the
measures necessary to ensure that sample checks are carried out on
equipment bearing the mark which is on its market and which has not
yet been placed on board, in order to ensure that it complies with this
Directive. Sample checks which are not provided for in the modules for
conformity assessment in Annex B shall be carried out at the expense
of the Member State.
2. Notwithstanding Article 6, after the installation of equipment
which complies with this Directive on board a Community ship,
evaluation by that ship's flag State administration of that equipment
shall be permitted when operational on-board performance tests are
required by international instruments for safety and/or pollution-
prevention purposes, provided that they do not duplicate the confor-
mity-assessment procedures already carried out. The flag State
administration may require the manufacturer of the equipment, his
authorized representative established within the Community or the
person responsible for marketing the equipment within the Community
to provide the inspection/testing reports.
Article 13
1. Where a Member State ascertains by inspection or otherwise that,
notwithstanding the fact that it bears the mark, a piece of equipment
referred to in Annex A.1, when correctly installed, maintained and
used for its intended purpose, may compromise the health and/or safety
of the crew, the passengers or, where applicable, other persons, or
adversely ►C1 affect the marine environment, it shall take all appro-
priate interim measures to withdraw that piece of equipment from the
market ◄ or prohibit or restrict its being placed on the market or
being used on board a ship for which it issues the safety certificates.
The Member State shall immediately inform the other Member States
1996L0098 — EN — 29.11.2002 — 004.001 — 9
▼B
and the Commission of that measure and indicate the reasons for its
decision and, in particular, whether non-compliance with this Directive
is due to:
(a) failure to comply with Article 5 (1) and (2);
(b) incorrect application of the testing standards referred to in Article 5
(1) and (2); or
(c) shortcomings in the testing standards themselves.
2. The Commission shall enter into consultation with the parties
concerned as soon as possible. Where, after such consultation, the
Commission finds that:
— the measures are justified, it shall immediately so inform the
Member State which took the initiative and the other Member
States; where the decision referred to in paragraph 1 is attributed
to shortcomings in the testing standards, the Commission shall, after
consulting the parties concerned, bring the matter before the
Committee referred to in Article 18 within two months if the
Member State which has taken the decision intends to maintain it
and shall initiate the procedure referred to in Article 18,
— the measures are unjustified, it shall immediately so inform the
Member State which took the initiative and the manufacturer or
his authorized representative established within the Community.
3. Where a non-complying piece of equipment bears the mark, the
appropriate measures shall be taken by the Member State which has
authority over whomsoever affixed the mark; that Member State shall
inform the Commission and the other Member States of the measures it
has taken.
4. The Commission shall ensure that the Member States are kept
informed of the progress and outcome of this procedure.
Article 14
1. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 5, in exceptional
circumstances of technical innovation, the flag State administration
may permit equipment which does not comply with the conformity-
assessment procedures to be placed on board a Community ship if it
is established by trial or otherwise to the satisfaction of the flag State
administration that such equipment is at least as effective as equipment
which does comply with the conformity-assessment procedures.
In the case of radiocommunications equipment, the flag State adminis-
tration shall require that such equipment does not unduly affect the
requirements of the radio-frequency spectrum.
2. Such trial procedures shall in no way discriminate between equip-
ment produced in the flag Member State and equipment produced in
other States.
3. Equipment covered by this Article shall be given a certificate by
the flag Member State which shall at all times be carried with the
equipment and which gives the flag Member State's permission for the
equipment to be placed on board the ship and imposes any restrictions
or lays down any provisions relating to the use of the equipment.
4. Where a Member State allows equipment covered by this Article
to be placed on board a Community ship, that Member State shall
forthwith communicate the particulars thereof together with the reports
of all relevant trials, assessments and conformity-assessment proce-
dures to the Commission and the other Member States.
5. Equipment such as is referred to in paragraph 1 shall be added to
Annex A.2 in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 18.
6. Where a ship with equipment on board which is covered by para-
graph 1 is transferred to another Member State, the receiving flag
Member State may undertake the measures necessary, which may
include tests and practical demonstrations, to ensure that the equipment
is at least as effective as equipment which does comply with the
conformity-assessment procedures.

Article 15
1. Notwithstanding Article 5, a flag State administration may permit
equipment which does not comply with the conformity-assessment
procedures or is not covered by Article 14 to be placed on board a
Community ship for reasons of testing or evaluation, but only when
the following conditions are complied with:
(a) the equipment must be given a certificate by the flag Member State
which must at all times be carried with the equipment and which
gives the flag Member State permission for the equipment to be
placed on board the Community ship and imposes any restrictions
or lays down any provisions relating to the use of the equipment;
(b) the permission must be limited to a short period of time;
(c) the equipment must not be relied on in place of equipment which
meets the requirements of this Directive and must not replace such
equipment, which must remain on board the Community ship in
working and ready for immediate use.
Article 16
1. Where equipment needs to be replaced in a port outwith the
Community and in exceptional circumstances which shall be duly justi-
fied to the flag State administration where it is not practicable in terms
of reasonable time, delay and cost to place on board equipment which
is EC type-approved, other equipment may be placed on board in
accordance with the following procedure:
(a) the equipment shall be accompanied by documentation issued by a
recognized organization equivalent to a notified body, where an
agreement has been concluded between the Community and the
third country concerned on the mutual recognition of such organi-
zations;
(b) should it prove impossible to comply with (a), equipment accompa-
nied by documentation issued by a Member State of the IMO
which is a party to the relevant conventions, certifying compliance
with the relevant IMO requirements, may be placed on board,
subject to paragraphs 2 and 3.
2. The flag State administration shall be informed at once of the
nature and characteristics of such other equipment.
3. The flag State administration shall, at the earliest opportunity,
ensure that the equipment referred to in paragraph 1, along with its
testing documentation, complies with the relevant requirements of the
international instruments and of this Directive.

ANNEX A
ANNEX A.1: Equipment for which detailed testing standards already exist in international instruments
Notes applicable to the whole of Annex A.1
General: in addition to the testing standards specifically mentioned, a number of provisions, which must be checked during type-examination (type approval) as referred to in the modules for confor-
mity assessment in Annex B, are to be found in the applicable requirements of the international conventions and the relevant resolutions and circulars of the IMO.
Column 5: Where IMO Resolutions are cited, only the testing standards contained in relevant parts of the Annexes to the Resolutions are applicable and exclude the provisions of the Resolutions
themselves.
Column 5: For the purpose of identifying correctly the relevant standards, the test reports and the appropriate type-approval certificates shall specify the specific testing standard applied and its version,
as identified in column 5.
Column 5: Where two sets of testing standards are indicated (separated by a ‘;’ or separated by a ‘or’), each set fulfils all the testing requirements to meet IMO Performance Standards. Thus testing to
one set is sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of the relevant International Instruments.
Column 6: Where module H appears, module H plus design-examination certificate is to be understood.
1. Life-saving appliances
Notes applicable to section 1: Life saving appliances
Columns 3 and 4: Where these columns are split into two levels for a particular item designator, the upper level refers where applicable to vessels constructed under the HSC Code prior to 1 July 2002,
and the lower box refers to vessels where applicable operating under the HSC Code on or after 1 July 2002.
