European Union (Marine Equipment) (Amendment) Regulations 2016 (S.I. No. 235 of 2016).

These Regulations transpose Commission Directive (EU) 2015/559 on marine equipment, which amends Council Directive 96/98/EC on marine equipment by substituting a new Annex A. The principal requirement of these Directives is that the equipment placed on board ships meets the applicable requirements and the testing standards that apply under international conventions, including MARPOL (prevention of pollution), SOLAS (safety at sea), load lines and collision regulations.
