The International Marine Certification Institute (IMCI) has been granted the Recreational Craft Directive 2013/53/EU (RCD II) notification by the European Union Commission.

The transition from RCD I to RCD II includes several important changes regarding exhaust emissions, alignment with the EU legislative framework, and clarification of several definitions like economic operators, private importers, as well as the obligations of Notified Bodies and national enforcement authorities.
Main changes in RCD II:
New engine exhaust limits for NOx, HC, and PT were aligned with US EPA standards, with relaxation of CO limits.
The Manufacturer’s Identification Code (MIC) shall be given by an EU Member State.
Manufacturers shall ensure that procedures are in place for series production to remain in conformity. Changes in product design or characteristics and changes in the harmonised standards by reference to which conformity of a product is declared shall be adequately taken in to account. Under RCD II, manufacturers are required to use always the most recent version of a harmonised standard.
Any sanitation device installed in a recreational craft shall be connected solely to a holding tank system or water treatment system.
A means of reboarding shall be accessible to, or deployable by, a person in the water unaided.
Post Construction Assessment (PCA) applies to private importers only.
