UK marine equipment regulations

Marine equipment must be UK approved to be placed on board UK ships. This means it carries the Red Ensign - the UK conformity mark for marine equipment.

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. Some exceptions may apply.

Please see Part I of MSN 1874 amendment 7 for further details.
