movement when the driver dismounts deliberately or falls overboard.’;

11. section 5.2.2 shall be replaced by the following:

‘5.2.2. Fuel tanks

Fuel tanks, lines and hoses shall be secured and separated or protected
from any source of significant heat. The material the tanks are made of and

of fuel. All tank spaces shall be ventilated.

Petrol fuel shall be kept in tanks which do not form part of the hull
and are:

(a) insulated from the engine compartment and from all other source of
ignition;

(b) separated from living quarters;

Diesel fuel may be kept in tanks that are integral with the hull.’;

12. section 5.6.2 shall be replaced by the following:

‘5.6.2. Fire-fighting equipment

Craft shall be supplied with fire-fighting equipment appropriate to the
fire hazard, or the position and capacity of fire-fighting equipment
appropriate to the fire hazard shall be indicated. The craft shall not be put
into service until the appropriate fire-fighting equipment is in place. Petrol
engine enclosures shall be protected by a fire extinguishing system that avoids
the need to open the enclosure in the event of fire. Where fitted, portable
fire extinguishers shall be readily accessible and one shall be so positioned
that it can easily be reached from the main steering position of the craft.’;

13. section 5.8 shall be replaced by the following:

‘5.8. Discharge prevention and installations facilitating the delivery
ashore of waste

Craft shall be constructed so as to prevent the accidental discharge of
pollutants (oil, fuel,

etc.) overboard.

Craft fitted with toilets shall have either:

(a) holding tanks, or

(b) provision to fit holding tanks.

Craft with permanently installed holding tanks shall be fitted with a
standard discharge connection to enable pipes of reception facilities to be connected
with the craft discharge pipeline.

In addition, any through-the-hull pipes for human waste shall be fitted
with valves which  are capable of being
secured in the closed position.’;

14. the following parts shall be added:

‘B. Essential requirements for exhaust emissions from
propulsion engines

Propulsion engines shall comply with the following essential
requirements for exhaust emissions.

1. Engine identification

1.1. Each engine shall be clearly marked with the following information:

— engine manufacturer's trademark or trade-name,

— engine type, engine family, if applicable,

— a unique engine identification number,

— CE marking, if required under Article 10.

1.2. These marks must be durable for the normal life of the engine and
must be clearly legible and indelible. If labels or plates are used, they must
be attached in such a manner that the fixing is durable for the normal life of
the engine, and the labels/plates cannot be removed without destroying or
defacing them.

1.3. These marks must be secured to an engine part necessary for normal
engine operation and not normally requiring replacement during the engine life.

1.4. These marks must be located so as to be readily visible to the
average person after the engine has been assembled with all the components
necessary for engine operation.

2. Exhaust emission requirements

Propulsion engines shall be designed, constructed and assembled so that
when correctly installed and in normal use, emissions shall not exceed the
limit values obtained from the following table:

Table 1

Where A, B and n are constants in accordance with the table, PN is the rated engine power in kW and the exhaust
emissions are measured in accordance with the harmonized standard (*).

For engines above 130 kW either E3 (IMO) or E5 (recreational marine)
duty cycles may be used.

The reference fuels to be used for the emissions test for engines
fuelled with petrol and diesel shall be as specified in Directive 98/69/EC (Annex
IX, Tables 1 and 2), and for those engines fuelled with Liquefied Petroleum Gas
as specified in Directive 98/77/EC.

3. Durability

The manufacturer of the engine shall supply engine installation and
maintenance instructions, which if applied should mean that the engine in
normal use will continue to comply with the above limits throughout the normal
life of the engine and under normal conditions of use.

This information shall be obtained by the engine manufacturer by use of
prior endurance testing, based on normal operating cycles, and by calculation
of component fatigue so that the necessary maintenance instructions may be
prepared by the manufacturer and issued with all new engines when first placed
on the market.

The normal life of the engine is considered to mean:

(a) inboard or stern drive engines with or without integral exhaust: 480
hours or 10 years, whichever occurs first;

(b) personal watercraft engines: 350 hours or five years, whichever
occurs first;

(c) outboard engines: 350 hours or 10 years, whichever occurs first.

4. Owner's manual

Each engine shall be provided with an owner's manual in the Community
language or languages, which may be determined by the Member State in which the
engine is to be marketed. This manual shall:

(a) provide instructions for the installation and maintenance needed to
assure the proper functioning of the engine to meet the requirements of
paragraph 3, (Durability);

(b) specify the power of the engine when measured in accordance with the
harmonized standard.

C. Essential requirements for noise emissions

Recreational craft with inboard or stern drive engines without integral
exhaust, personal watercraft and outboard engines and stern drive engines with
integral exhaust shall comply with the following essential requirements for
noise emissions.

1. Noise emission levels

1.1. Recreational craft with inboard or stern drive engines without
integral exhaust, personal watercraft and outboard engines and stern drive
engines with integral exhaust shall be designed, constructed and assembled so
that noise emissions measured in accordance with tests defined in the
harmonised standard (**) shall not exceed the limit values in the following
table:

Maximum Sound Pressure Level =

where PN = rated engine power in kW at rated speed and LpASmax = maximum sound pressure level in dB.

 

For twin-engine and multiple-engine units of all engine types an
allowance of 3 dB may be applied.
