01Compliance
Compliance and testing
Our testing history covers ISO 9001, BSCI, CE safety and REACH.
02Testing history
Four programmes behind the shapes we build.
- ISO 9001 Quality management
- BSCI Social audit
- CE Safety testing
- REACH Chemical safety
03Europe
REACH limits and GPSR paperwork.
European buyers need REACH limits on the PVC skin and the pad, plus GPSR paperwork in the destination language.
| REACH | Phthalate limits on PVC skin and pad |
|---|---|
| GPSR | Safety file and destination-language instructions |
04United States
A board outside a swimming area counts as a vessel.
US rules treat a board used outside a swimming area as a vessel, so our add-on list includes life vests.
| Vessel rule | Board outside a swimming area counts as a vessel |
|---|---|
| Add-ons | Life vests for fleets |
05Scope
Safety testing, not vessel certification.
The CE work on our boards is safety testing. A paddleboard sits outside the EU marine-craft directive (2013/53/EU), so it carries no vessel certificate. RoHS has nothing to cover here: a board carries no electronics.
| CE | Safety testing, not marine-craft certification |
|---|---|
| RoHS | Not applicable: a board carries no electronics |
