Evening all
The Wheelmark Directive did cross my mind earlier at the time of the question but I was too “lazy” to follow-up on it right then! L (and I was busy working on installing another satellite dish – which my wife hates!!) The Wheelmark comes under Directive 2014/90/EU “DIRECTIVE 2014/90/EU OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 23 July 2014 on marine equipment and repealing Council Directive 96/98/EC (Text with EEA relevance)” The Scope is “Article 3 Scope 1. This Directive shall apply to equipment placed or to be placed on board an EU ship and for which the approval of the flag State administration is required by the international instruments, regardless of whether the ship is situated in the Union at the time when it is fitted with the equipment. 2. Notwithstanding the fact that the equipment referred to in paragraph 1 may also fall within the scope of instruments of Union law other than this Directive, that equipment shall, for the purpose set out in Article 1, be subject only to this Directive.” Looks a bit different to many other Directives in that it seems that the standards and requirements are listed in the various Amendments to the Directive rather than as lists of Harmonised Standards per the CE marking Directives – so that’s where you need to look!

John, For marine applications, there is a “Wheelmark” that may be applicable in place of CE Marking. I don’t know too much about it, other than to say that I have run across references to it.

The following are excluded from the scope of this Directive: (f) seagoing vessels and mobile offshore units and machinery installed on board such vessels and/or units; (g) machinery specially designed and constructed for military or police purposes; Clarified in the guide: § 58 Seagoing vessels and mobile offshore units and machinery installed on board such vessels and/or units Seagoing vessels and mobile offshore units such as, for example, mobile drilling rigs, and machinery installed on them are excluded from the scope of the Machinery Directive by Article 1 (2) (f) since they are subject to the Conventions of the International Maritime Organisation. Some of the equipment concerned by this exclusion may also be subject to the Marine Equipment Directive 96/98/EC18 as amended by Directive 2002/75/EC19 A mobile offshore unit is an offshore unit that is not intended to be located on the oil field permanently or for the long term, but is designed to be moved from location to location, whether or not it has a means of propulsion or of lowering legs to the seafloor. However, floating units intended for production, such as, for example, FPSOs (Floating Production, Storage and Offloading installations - usually based on tanker designs) and FPPs (Floating Production Platforms - based on semi-submersible vessels) and the machinery installed on such units are not excluded from the scope of the Machinery Directive. Machinery intended to be installed on fixed offshore platforms such as, for example, oil production rigs, and machinery which may be used on both fixed and mobile offshore units is also subject to the Machinery Directive. § 59 Machinery for military or police purposes The exclusion set out in Article 1 (2) (g) applies to machinery specially designed and constructed for defence purposes or for the purpose of maintaining order. Ordinary machinery used by the armed forces or by the police but which is not specially designed for defence purposes or for the purpose of maintaining order is subject to the Machinery Directive. In some countries, certain fire services belong to the military, however machinery designed for use by such fire-fighters is not thereby considered to be designed and constructed for military purposes and is thus subject to the Machinery Directive.

Hi, We're working with a client that supplies Oil Spill response equipment. We're evaluating the pumps and systems to the Machinery Directive, among others. However, I heard a "rumor" there is an exemption for Emergency Response Equipment. Has anyone heard this or knows of this exemption? I searched on europa and cannot find anything.
