Description
The new European Directive 2013/53/EU dealing with Recreational Craft and Personnal Watercraft (PWC) became fully applicable on the 18th January 2017 and one of the big changes from the previous Directive (94/25/EC amended by 2003/44/EC) were the additional requirements for Watercraft Identification. These include the country code of the manufacturer (previously it was the country in which the craft was manufactured), the manufacturers identity code (MIC) needs to be issued by a national authority in an EU Member State and the month and year of production needs to be included.
