I believe you'll find your CE Mark to the LVD and EMCD are in line with common practice, but...
For the letter of the law, you need to look at the Recreational Craft Directive (94/25/EC). If you want to include this Directive on your Delcaration, I believe you'll find that for this sort of equipment it boils down to requirements for Ignition Protection testing. The testing may be able to be waived if the products are identified (marked) as not suitable for installation in areas requiring ignition protected equipment (engine rooms, battery compartments, areas where gasoline (not diesel) tanks or fittings are present, etc.) Regards, Jim Eichner, P.Eng.

Does anyone know if there are any special safety or EMC requirements on top of the usual LV and EMC Directives?
