FEDERAL LAW
183.507 - General
Each fuel system component on a boat to
which this subpart applies must meet the requirements
of this subpart unless the component is part of an outboard
engine or is part of portable equipment.
|
The boat manufacturer, not the manufacturer
of each component, is required to certify each boat as complying
with this regulation. Component parts of outboard engines
and portable equipment, such as a self-contained gasoline
engine generator unit, are not covered by these regulations.
The Equipment Standards of this regulation
appear to impose requirements, and consequently certification
responsibilities, on component manufacturers including inboard
engine manufacturers. This is not the case. The boat manufacturer
is responsible under these regulations and must certify compliance.
Purchase orders can stipulate that component manufacturers
provide affidavits of compliance which a boat manufacturer
may choose to recognize as supporting evidence in certifying
the entire fuel system.
