Compliance

The AP70 and AP80 systems complies with the following regulations:

• Wheelmark directive 2002/84 EC (HCS and HSC)

• CE (2004-108 EC EMC Directive) - AP70 systems when used with an AC70 computer

• C - Tick

¼ Note: AP70 systems are not wheelmark approved when used with an AC70 computer.

For more information please refer to our websites:

The Wheelmark

The AP70 and AP80 systems are produced and tested in accordance with the European

Marine Equipment Directive 96/98. This means that the systems comply with the highest level

of tests for nonmilitary marine electronic navigation equipment existing today.

The Marine Equipment Directive 96/98/EC (MED), as amended by 98/95/EC for ships ﬂying

EU or EFTA ﬂags, applies to all new ships, to existing ships not previously carrying such

equipment, and to ships having their equipment replaced.

This means that all system components covered by annex A1 must be type-approved

accordingly and must carry the Wheelmark, which is a symbol of conformity with the Marine

Equipment Directive.

While the autopilot system may be installed on vessels not needing to comply with the

Marine Equipment Directive, those requiring compliance must have one Control unit set-up

as a “master unit” in order for the installation to be approved.

Navico has no responsibility for the incorrect installation or use of the autopilot, so it

is essential for the person in charge of the installation to be familiar with the relevant

requirements as well as with the contents of the manuals, which covers correct installation

and use.
