The Marine Equipment Directive (MED) is a regulatory framework established by the European Union to ensure that marine equipment used on ships meets high safety, environmental, and performance standards. Its goal is to promote maritime safety and prevent marine pollution by ensuring that equipment installed on EU-flagged ships adheres to uniform and rigorous testing procedures.
The Marine Equipment Directive is primarily aimed at:
The marine equipment directive applies to a wide range of marine equipment, including:
Each category of equipment under the MED must meet specific performance and testing standards to ensure safety and environmental compliance.
The Marine Equipment Directive applies to all vessels that are registered or flagged under any member state of the European Union (EU). This means that equipment installed on these ships must be certified as MED-compliant. Additionally, the MED is recognized by countries within the European Economic Area (EEA), which includes nations like Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein.
Other non-EU countries may also refer to MED standards for guidance when purchasing equipment or building ships, even if they are not legally required to adhere to the directive.
