UK Marine Equipment Certification
Marine equipment bound for UK Ships requires the Red Ensign Mark
In the post-Brexit landscape, distinct regulations are now in place for marine equipment within the UK. Starting from January 2023, all marine equipment intended for use on UK flagged vessels must be UK-approved. This entails having valid UK conformity assessment certification and displaying the Red Ensign marking, approved body number & UK DOC.
