Shipping accidents are a huge concern to the European Community, and in particular those which cause loss of human life or major pollution in EU sea areas and along the coastline of the Member States. Therefore, it is vital that an EU level system is set in place which is capable of substantially reducing the risk of such accidents. A critical part of the developing system is the development and implementation of common standards which ensure high safety levels in the performance of equipment which is carried on board EU flagged ships. In particular, it is clear that the setting in place of consistently high quality type approval methods, testing standards and testing methods will have a very significant positive effect on the performance of equipment.
