The certification by the yacht classes is essential to work on the equipment. The classification of yachts answers to strict standards that are set to ensure the strength of the yacht’s hull, the correctness of the propulsion and steering, as well as the proper functioning of the additional equipment fitted on board the vessel. Each has its own rules for safety equipment such as fire extinguishers or life-saving equipment.
There are many rules for a yacht certification to be delivered which ensure safety, soundness of construction, as well as pollution protection equipment.
To maintain its “class” approval, the yacht is subject to inspections by representatives of the classification society. In general, an inspection is carried out every 5 years in order to renew the certificate.
The Péjout Marine Services team is authorised for the certification by the yacht classes:
