The DoC is prepared and signed by manufacturer or his authorized representative established within the European Community or the person established within the Community who place the product on the market, and/or puts into servic e (PCA - Post Construction Assessment)
  • Conformity assessment modules: Standard procedures for assessing the conformity of recreational craft and components in respect of the essential requirements for the design and construction; they are chosen by manufacturer or his authorized representative established within the European Community or the person established within the Community who place the product on the market, and/or puts into service, in relation to the design category and length unit to be certified.
  • Components:
    • Ignition-protected equipment for inboard and stern drive engines;
    • Start-in-gear protection devices for outboard engines;
    • Steering wheels, steering mechanisms and cable assemblies;
