Course Objective

Understanding the functions of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the International Standardization Institute (ISO) and examining how codes/standards related to maritime are prepared. Investigating the Recreational Craft Directive (RCD II) and the related regulations that apply to the design and manufacture stage of watercraft (ie recreational boats & personal watercraft) that have a hull length between 2.5m and 24m (also the regulations include engines and some components that are to be fitted on the recreational craft). Understanding the relevant ISO standards, conformity assessment procedures and making the necessary calculations. Applying/Implementing these rules, regulations, calculations and standards to an example boat and going through the CE certification stages.
