Recreational Vessel Standards Workshop © Boating Industry Association
BIA Member boat manufacturers, designers and surveyors are invited to attend a workshop discussing the possible extension of scope of national standards for recreational vessels in Australia.
As part of BIA's ongoing commitment to improving industry standards for the safety of vessels, BIA will be supporting the Australian Recreational Boating Committee (ARBSC) and Standards Australia in hosting this workshop to explore opportunities for the introduction of new standards, including vessel construction and identification standards, and to gauge industry's support. The workshop will also consider the standardisation of implementation, management and compliance, including competency and authorisation to use standards.
National standards would apply to vessels built in and imported into Australia and would introduce minimum standards for all aspects of vessel design, construction and identification. This would have benefits for consumer safety and confidence by aligning with industry standards already in place internationally. More information here.
Date: Thursday, 1 August 2024
Time: 3-6 PM AEST
