Construcción Amateur

Copio aquí lo que dicen las RSG Guidelines 2010 sobre construcción por aficionado, poniendo en negrita algunos aspectos adicionales a lo ya comentado, que creo son interesantes:

CC Guide
The exclusion in article 1.2.(a)(vii) concerns craft built by their future user,
provided that they are not placed on the market in the EEA within five years of
being put into service. This does not preclude the sub-contracting, by the builder, of
specialists in certain aspects of the fitting out of the boat e.g. electrical or electronic
engineers.

When a kit boat is bought by its end user, from the kit boat manufacturer, and
completed not in accordance with the kit manufacturer’s instructions [i.e.
modified(1)] but to the “desires” of the end user, the party that undertakes the
completion of the kit boat is considered to assume the responsibility for the boat's
conformity with the Directive.

If, for whatever reason, a boat built for own use is intended to be placed on the
Community market, whether completed or partly completed, within the 5 year
period, then certification by a person or persons fulfilling the role of manufacturer
would be required in accordance with the provisions of Article 8.1 on postconstruction
assessment. These persons would take the responsibility for the
equivalent conformity of the design, construction, and
environmental performance of the boat, and any modification to it necessary to
achieve this equivalent conformity. The assessment of the equivalent conformity
with essential requirements of the Directive requires the involvement of a notified
body (see comments to Article 8.1).

NB: A member of the general public building his own boat (in his garage or garden,
for example), from materials bought on the open market is deemed to be “building a
boat for his own use”. This boat lies outside the scope of the Directive and does not
require compliance with the essential requirements and thus CE marking. If for
whatever reason this situation changes then the provisions detailed above would be
seen to apply.
It should be made clear that a private person who enters into a contractual
arrangement with a professional company, yard or individual constructor to build a
one off boat (be-spoke) is deemed to have entered into an arrangement where there
will be a transfer of ownership. Such a boat is deemed to fall under the Directive
and will have to comply with the Essential Requirements of the Directive and
applicable conformity assessment procedures. Reference is made to text expanding
on Article 4. Boats built for own use have the concept that a person is building
their own boat and not having it built by others.

(1) It is considered that these modifications relate to compliance with the
Directive’s Essential Requirements and not features outside of the scope of
Annex I
