For safety on the high seas

MED Certification

Cruise

DELIUS fabrics with MED authorisation

For cruise, particularly high demands are placed on the materials used. This also applies to the textiles that decorate the rooms and offer guests a cosy ambience.

For ships sailing under the European flag, MED certification is therefore also required for the use of decorative and upholstery fabrics.

Information in detail:

The international requirements for marine equipment are implemented in the EU by the Marine Equipment Directive (MED) and its respective implementing regulation.

The MED approval of marine equipment consists of two module types (see illustration). Firstly, in Module B, the technical documentation and additional evidence of the product are assessed and samples of the product are tested. After passing the test, the EC type examination certificate is valid for up to five years. In the event of changes to the production process or the type, a re-examination must take place in order to retain the certificate.

The second step is to undergo a conformity assessment procedure in accordance with module D, E or F.

Module D (production quality assurance): This module is suitable if several MED-authorised products from one manufacturer are to be placed on the market.
