PERSONAL WATERCRAFT CERTIFICATION PROGRAM
The National Marine Manufacturers Association, along with the Personal Watercraft Industry Association, has developed a certification program to help the personal watercraft (PWC) manufacturers comply with established international standards and safety regulations, and to help to inform the public of such compliance when purchasing equipment. The NMMA program certifies that the design meets the standards of ISO 13590, Small craft - Personal watercraft - Construction and system installation requirements.
This ISO standard applies to the construction and installation of permanently installed petrol fuel systems, electrical systems, ventilation, and flotation.
The manufacturer has the responsibility of assuring that their production units are manufactured in compliance with the certified design.
A manufacturer participating in this program must certify all models as fitted with all factory supplied equipment on a model year basis.
Inspectors from nationally recognized independent inspection agencies or NMMA staff visit the manufacturer and physically inspect each model for compliance to all certification standards. All certified personal watercraft display a label verifying compliance to ISO 13590.
