2003/44/EC - Approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to recreational craft

Directive 2003/44/EC amends Directive 94/25/EC concerning the harmonization of laws relating to recreational craft within the EU, extending its scope to include personal watercraft and environmental protection standards focused on exhaust and noise emissions. It introduces requirements for propulsion engines onboard such craft, addressing pollutants like carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter, as well as noise levels. The Directive mandates CE marking to demonstrate conformity with these standards, thereby facilitating free movement within the internal market and preventing divergent national regulations from creating trade barriers. It defines key terms such as recreational craft, personal watercraft, propulsion engines, and sets criteria for major modifications and conversions. Exemptions include craft intended solely for racing, historical replicas, and certain commercial vessels. The Directive establishes conformity assessment procedures and enforcement provisions, including transitional arrangements and committee oversight to adapt technical requirements over time. Overall, the regulation aims to ensure safety, environmental protection, and market uniformity for recreational and personal watercraft across Member States.

Purpose

Directive 2003/44/EC amends Directive 94/25/EC concerning the harmonisation of laws, regulations, and administrative provisions of EU Member States related to recreational craft. The amendment aims to:

  • Extend the scope of existing legislation to cover personal watercraft, which were previously not included.
  • Address and regulate exhaust emissions (carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particles) and noise emissions from recreational craft engines, including personal watercraft.
  • Ensure environmental protection and human health by setting essential requirements for noise and exhaust emissions.
  • Remove trade barriers and promote the free movement of recreational craft, personal watercraft, engines, and components in the internal market by harmonising technical standards across Member States.
  • Establish conformity assessment procedures and CE marking rules for emissions and construction requirements.
  • Clarify technical definitions and scope exclusions regarding certain craft types and uses.

This Directive supports sustainable development by integrating environmental protection requirements into the regulatory framework for recreational craft.

Key obligations

  • Scope Extension: The Directive now applies not only to recreational craft but also explicitly includes personal watercraft, propulsion engines, noise, and exhaust emissions.

  • Emission Limits: The Directive sets maximum authorized levels for:

    • Exhaust emissions: CO, HC, NOx, particulate pollutants.
    • Noise emissions: levels depend on engine power, quantity, and type on board.

  • Conformity Assessment and CE Marking:

    • Manufacturers or authorised representatives must ensure products (craft, personal watercraft, engines, components) comply with emission and construction requirements before placing them on the market.
    • Different conformity procedures are prescribed based on the product type.
    • CE marking indicates compliance with this Directive and any other applicable Directives.
    • Certain engines (e.g., inboard and stern drive without integral exhaust) may be accompanied by a manufacturer’s declaration of conformity rather than a CE mark.

  • Free Movement:

    • Member States shall not prohibit or restrict the placing on the market or putting into service of products bearing CE marking or accompanied by proper conformity documentation.
    • Partly completed boats and certain components must be allowed on the market if properly declared.

  • Exemptions:

    • Exclusions include craft for racing, original historical craft, experimental craft not marketed, craft for commercial passenger transport regulated by other rules, submersibles, air cushion vehicles, hydrofoils, and external combustion steam-powered craft.
    • Similarly, certain propulsion engines and personal use-built craft have exemptions under defined conditions.

  • Definitions and Technical Clarifications:

    • Clear definitions were introduced for terms such as recreational craft, personal watercraft, propulsion engine, major engine modifications, major craft conversions, engine family, manufacturer, and authorised representative.
    • Clarifications on boat design categories, load limits, craft identification, fuel tanks, fire fighting equipment, and discharge prevention.

  • Committee Procedure:

    • Sets up a regulatory committee consisting of Member State representatives to assist the European Commission in updating technical annexes and standards based on scientific progress.

    • The European Commission and standing committees overseeing technical standards and conformity assessment procedures.

Implementation timeline

  • Entry into force: The Directive was adopted on 16 June 2003.

  • Application:

    • The amended provisions apply from the date of entry into force regarding design, construction, exhaust and noise emissions.
    • Products (craft, engines, components) placed on the market or put into service after the Directive’s entry into force must comply.
    • For certain major conversions or engine modifications, application deadlines allow up to five years following such modifications for compliance regarding noise emissions.

  • Transitional measures:

    • Products compliant with national laws before the Directive’s entry into force may continue to be marketed and used for a limited transitional period to allow adaptation to the new harmonised rules.

  • Future reviews:

    • The Commission will closely monitor technological developments and environmental needs and may propose further amendments to reduce emissions or update conformity procedures accordingly.

This Directive is integral to harmonising environmental and safety standards, thereby facilitating trade and ensuring a high level of protection for consumers and the environment concerning recreational craft and personal watercraft in the EU.

The Directive 2003/44/EC applies to recreational craft, personal watercraft, and their propulsion engines with respect to design, construction, exhaust emissions, and noise emissions. Recreational craft are defined as boats from 2.5 m to 24 m hull length intended for sport and leisure purposes, including partly completed boats. Personal watercraft are vessels under 4 m using internal combustion engines with water jet propulsion, operated by a person sitting, standing, or kneeling on them. The Directive covers propulsion engines installed or intended for installation on recreational and personal watercraft, including those undergoing major modifications, and noise emissions from various engine types like outboard, stern drive, and inboard engines, especially those with or without integral exhausts. The Directive excludes craft intended solely for racing, canoes, kayaks, surfboards, historical and experimental craft, commercial passenger-carrying craft, submersibles, air cushion vehicles, hydrofoils, and external combustion steam-powered craft. It also exempts propulsion engines for these excluded craft, engines built for own use not placed on the market within five years, and original or replica historical engines.

SIST EN ISO 12216:2018

This International Standard specifies technical requirements for windows, portlights, hatches, deadlights and doors on small craft of hull length up to 24 m, taking into account the type of craft, its design category, and the location of the appliance.
The appliances considered in this International Standard are only those that are critical for the craft's watertightness, i.e. those that could lead to flooding in case of rupture of the plate.
This International Standard is mostly intended to be used for recreational craft, but it may be used for non-recrational small craft of hull length up to 24 m, excluding lifeboats. However, it is not applicable to commercial or work boats used in severe conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

An EU Directive is a legislative act of the European Union that sets out goals that all EU member states must achieve. However, it is up to each member state to devise their own laws on how to reach these goals through national transposition. Directives are used to harmonize laws across the EU, particularly for the functioning of the single market.

Directive 2003/44/EC covers "Approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to recreational craft". There are 296 standards associated with this directive.

Harmonized standards under 2003/44/EC are European standards (ENs) developed by CEN, CENELEC, or ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission. When these standards are cited in the Official Journal of the European Union, products manufactured in conformity with them benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of 2003/44/EC, facilitating CE marking and free movement within the European Economic Area.
