Chapter 1: Welcome Aboard!
Manufacturer's Certification
As a boat manufacturer, Bayliner builds their products to guidelines established under the Federal Boat Safety
Act of 1971. The Act is promulgated by the United States Coast Guard who has authority to enforce these laws
on boat manufacturers that sell products in the United States. Bayliner ensures that all of its products comply
with these laws.
The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) provides Bayliner with a third party certification. The
NMMA is an organization that represents the marine industry and assists manufacturers, boat dealers, marinas,
repair yards and component suppliers in areas of legislation, environmental concerns, marine business growth
and state and federal government agency interaction. The third party certification that Bayliner participates in,
uses the well known Standards and Recommended Practices of the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC).
Bayliner Boats participates extensively in the American Boat and Yacht Council which is a nonprofit organization
that develops and publishes voluntary standards and recommended practices for boat and equipment design,
construction, service and repair. We utilize all applicable ABYC standards in the construction of your Bayliner
boat.
Finally, Bayliner sells their products world wide and as such must conform to the various rules and regulations
required by other countries. Most notably, are the ISO standards in Europe which require the application of the
Common European (CE) mark. This mark, much like the NMMA certification here in the US, gives you the boat
owner specific information concerning your craft.
International Requirements
Depending on your boat's original destination, the vessel and its systems may have been constructed in
accordance with standards and specifications published by various international authorities such as:
· Construction Standards for Small Vessels - Canada
·
Recreational Craft Directive and applicable ISO Standards - European Union
· AS/NZ 3004 Electrical Installations - Australia/New Zealand
Further information concerning these requirements may be obtained from your local dealer.
