Details

Marine equipment must be UK-approved to be placed on board UK ships. This means it has valid UK conformity assessment certification and carries the Red Ensign - the UK conformity mark for marine equipment. Please see Part I of MSN 1874 as amended for further details.

Equipment covered under the UK-US Mutual Recognition Agreement for marine equipment, approved by the United States Coast Guard (USCG), accompanied by a US declaration of conformity, and affixed with the Red Ensign UK conformity mark is also acceptable. Please see Annex 6 of MSN 1874 as amended for details of what marine equipment categories are covered under the Agreement. Details of the equipment approved by the USCG under this MRA can be found on the USCG CGMIX Approved Equipment Main Page.
