    Post-Construction Assessment (PCA)

    For private imports, major conversions and own-built craft sold within five years: route review, evidence file and notified body coordination.

  • A motor yacht ashore on stands, a measuring instrument on a tripod and an inspection checklist.

    Marine Survey

    On-site inspection of a craft’s condition, with the purpose and scope agreed in writing and a clear written report.

  • Process flowcharts, layered technical documents, a report with charts and a stack of vessel drawings.

    Technical Consultancy

    Written, referenced answers on the directive, the harmonised standards and documentation questions.

How does a CE project progress?

Five steps, three parties. Each step shows who does what, so the route is clear from the start.

  1. Step 1 of 5

    Initial inquiry

    You describe the craft and what you need.

    You, as manufacturer (or the person with its obligations)
  2. Step 2 of 5

    Vessel information

    You share drawings, data and existing documents.

    You, as manufacturer (or the person with its obligations)
  3. Step 3 of 5

    Technical documentation

    We review gaps and prepare the technical file with you.

    TEKNECE
  4. Step 4 of 5

    Assessment coordination

    Where required, the notified body assesses. We coordinate.

    Notified body, where required
  5. Step 5 of 5

    Declaration and CE marking

    With the assessment complete, you draw up the EU declaration of conformity and affix the CE marking.

    You, as manufacturer (or the person with its obligations)

Where the directive requires it, the notified body carries out its assessment independently. The manufacturer draws up the EU declaration of conformity and affixes the CE marking.

About TEKNECE
  1. An expert reads your file first

    Every engagement starts with a specialist reviewing your craft and its documents; the plan comes after that.

    The manufacturer, the notified body where one is required, and our team: who does what is set out in the first reply.

  3. Sourced, written answers

    Our advice names the provisions of the directive, the Turkish regulation and the harmonised standards it relies on.

  4. International standards in view

    We work through the harmonised standards with you, so that design, build and documentation point the same way.
