#32026D0550Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2026/550 amending Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/1954 on harmonised standards for electric marine propulsion power measurements and protection from falling overboard
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This Commission Implementing Decision updates the list of harmonised standards supporting the Recreational Craft Directive 2013/53/EU. It adds two new standards: EN ISO 8665-2:2024 on power measurements and declarations for electric marine propulsion, and EN ISO 15085:2024 on protection from falling overboard and means of reboarding. The previous version of the man-overboard standard (EN ISO 15085:2003 as amended) is removed from the list. Compliance with these new standards gives manufacturers a presumption of conformity with the essential safety and environmental requirements of the Directive. The decision enters into force immediately upon publication, but the withdrawal of the old standard is deferred until 13 August 2027 to allow manufacturers time to transition.
