Having regard to Directive 2014/90/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 July 2014 on marine equipment and repealing Council Directive 96/98/EC (1), and in particular Article 35(2) thereof,

The Commission is empowered to indicate, by means of implementing acts, the design, construction and performance requirements and testing standards in respect of marine equipment falling within the scope of application of Directive 2014/90/EU as well as the dates from which the testing standards are to apply. Those requirements and standards are provided for in the international instruments referred to in Directive 2014/90/EU.

 

(2)

In order to take into account the most recent changes, the list of the applicable international instruments should be regularly updated. In order to provide a comprehensive list containing all products belonging to the scope of Directive 2014/90/EU, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1397 (2) should be repealed.

 

(3)

Marine equipment newly subject to harmonised Union requirements under Directive 2014/90/EU should be explicitly listed as new items in column 1 of the Annex to this Regulation.

(5)

In order to facilitate a harmonised, rapid and simple implementation of Directive 2014/90/EU, implementing acts adopted pursuant to that Directive should take the form of Implementing Regulations.
