The Wheelmark
The IS40 PRO indicator system is produced and tested in accordance
with the European Marine Equipment Directive 96/98. This
means that the systems comply with the highest level of tests for
nonmilitary marine electronic navigation equipment existing today.
The Marine Equipment Directive 96/98/EC (MED), as amended by
98/95/EC for ships flying EU or EFTA flags, applies to all new ships, to
existing ships not previously carrying such equipment, and to ships
having their equipment replaced.
This means that all system components covered by annex A1 must
be type-approved accordingly and must carry the Wheelmark,
which is a symbol of conformity with the Marine Equipment
Directive.
Navico has no responsibility for incorrect installation or use of the
system, so it is essential for the person in charge of the installation
to be familiar with the relevant requirements as well as with the
contents of the manuals, which covers correct installation and use.
