This one-day course is aimed at developing an appreciation of the key aspects of the Marine Equipment Directive (MED) affecting the supply chain to the marine industry. It outlines the difference between type approval and MED requirements, as well as discussing various supporting schemes for compliance, assisting in generating a level field of dialogue between the companies in the supply chain.

• Manufacturing personnel of equipment manufacturers for which MED certification is mandatory (e.g. QA/QC/QHSE managers and personnel, production and regulatory compliance personnel and management).

Upon completion of the course, you will be able to confidently discuss the following subjects:

• The history of the MED and what it means to the marine industry.
