CE CERTIFICATION PROGRAM

CE Certification is required for all recreational boats entering or being sold in the European Union. Manufacturers must test and document to ensure conformity to all applicable European directives and requirements. CE certification is obtained from Notified Bodies, organizations that are recognized by European states to conduct CE assessments and issue CE certification documents.

NMMA works closely with the International Marine Certification Institute, a notified body in Europe that issues conformity certificates, to assist U.S. boat builders in the certification process. When certified by a notified body, you will be able to display the CE mark on your products which will allow free and open access to the 16 country European Union market. For information regarding CE Certification please contact Thomas Marhevko at tmarhevko@nmma.org.
