Before a wheelmark can be affixed to a product, an independent
organization appointed by a European national authority (a
Notified body) has to undertake conformity assessment, and test
reports and a MED-B certificate have to be issued. These test
reports and certificates have to be kept by the manufacturer.
The manufacturer is allowed to affix the Wheelmark symbol and
issue a declaration of conformity only if the manufacturer also
holds a relevant QA certificate (MED-D)
The wheelmark shall be followed by:
- the identification number of the notified body (Det Norske
Veritas = 0575) which has performed the conformity
assessment procedure and the last two digits of the year in
which the mark is affixed.
When a complete system (e.g. an autopilot system) is wheelmark
approved, only the main unit(s) in the system wears the
wheelmark symbol. This to avoid the misunderstanding that all
standard and optional units in a system retain their wheelmark
approval if they are installed in a not approved system. The type
examination certificate (MED-B) for the wheelmarked system
lists all optional equipment that is part of the wheelmark
approval. The EC Declaration of Conformity do also show
which units that are part of the approval.
EU's official database (MarED Product Database) contains
information about wheelmarked equipment. This database is
found on:
