The new marine directive is an EU decision that is aimed at all ships registered within the European Union.
Effective as of March 22 2005, all EU-registered ships are required to show a so called M.E.D. certificate when changing a machine room application with hoses. Furthermore, the hoses shall be labelled with the “MED-wheel”.
The Hydroscand Group has, together with Det Norske Veritas, certified nine series of assembled oil and fuel hoses. According to one of the requirements in the directive, the hoses have to meet the ISO 15540/15541 demand.
Hydroscand AB has, with this certification, met the requirements and has therefore complied with the Marine Equipment Directive 2002/75/CE.
