This survey questionnaire has been designed specifically to collect data from the Marine Equipment industry, with a view to illustrating the current practice in the field of marine equipment certification, the experience of individual companies in their dealing with surveyors and the interpretation, made by the latter, of classification rules.
Only equipment that is certified according to the rules of the European Recognised Organisations is subject to this questionnaire. This survey does not include equipment falling under the MED Marine Equipment Directive 96/98 i.e. life saving appliances, fire protection, navigation equipment, and radio communication equipment.
All data will be used only as a reference for EMEC and in a form that will make it impossible to determine the identity of the individual responses. That is, the questionnaire responses will not be integrated, analyzed, or reported in any way in which the confidentiality of the questionnaire responses is not absolutely guaranteed.
All questionnaire responses will be transferred to a secure, password-restricted server. Access to raw data will be tightly restricted to EMEC staff and consultants directly involved in data analysis on the basis of a confidentiality agreement. EMEC will retain the sole ownership of all raw data.
Should you prefer to do the questionnaire by fax or with a EMEC member over the phone, please contact our offices at the following details:
