船舶材料防火认证，在欧盟通用的是MED认证，又称Wheelmark认证/舵轮标志认证。随着英国脱欧后，英国船舶材料的防火认证，采用的是UK MER认证。

总体来说，船舶材料采用的指令和法规都是一样的，只是MER认证证书由英国指定机构颁发，适用于英国市场；MED认证证书由国际海事组织指定的欧盟机构颁发，适用于欧盟成员国。

因此，如果船舶材料销往欧盟和英国市场，那么推荐UK MER和MED两大认证同时申请，可以节省很大一部分认证成本。

MED指令中涉及的所有设备，都要求应该贴上“Wheel Mark” 的“舵轮”标签。MED认证的Wheel Mark舵轮标志，会附于符合船用设备指令的产品上。认证由舵轮、公告机构NB的标识号、产品出厂年份的最后两位数字组成。

“舵轮”标志属于欧盟强制性认证标志，也是欧盟CE认证的一种形式，是欧盟法律对产品提出的一种强制性要求，不论是欧盟内部企业生产的产品，还是其他国家生产的产品，如果要用于悬挂欧盟旗帜的船舶，就必须获得指定机构认证并加贴“舵轮”标志，以表明产品符合欧盟船用设备指令（2014/90/EU）的要求。

MarED is the co-ordination group for the Notified Bodies assigned by the Member States to carry out the conformity assessment procedures referred to in the Marine Equipment Directive (Directive 2014/90/EU replacing Directive 96/98/EC as amended on Marine Equipment). The MarED Website contains information about the MarED Group, Notified Bodies and the Marine Equipment Directive and equipment certified under the MED (MarED database).

Context:
Free movement of goods is a cornerstone of the single European market. The European Union has developed original and innovative instruments to remove the barriers to free circulation of goods. The mechanisms in place to achieve this aim are based on prevention of new barriers to trade, mutual recognition and technical harmonisation.

Notified Bodies carry out the tasks pertaining to the conformity assessment procedures referred to in the applicable directives when a third party is required. Member States are responsible for their notification. They may choose the bodies they notify from the bodies under their jurisdiction which comply with the requirements of the directives and the principles laid down in under the EU New Legal Framework (https://ec.europa.eu/growth/single-market/goods/new-legislative-framework_en)

MarED provides a framework for co-ordination and co-operation between its members, the Commission and observers in the application of the Marine Equipment Directive. It is the intention of the MarED to be a conduit for the exchange information between members and to harmonise technical aspects. Furthermore MarED aims at solving unclear situations in reaching a consensus on the procedures of the EC Type Examination and surveillance modules in order to avoid differences between Notified Bodies.

MED认证过程一开始，即对您产品相关的评估程序（模块）提出建议，然后安全地指引您完成认证过程。这包括您已完成的MED表、所有其它的必要文件以及在经认可的实验室或验船师在场时进行的测试。最后，按照欧盟船用产品指令完成产品认证。对于模块D或E，需要在生产现场进行质量审核。认证过程完成后，立即签发MED证书。所有的MED认证将列入及MarED-Product（船用设备指令---产品）数据库中，方便潜在顾客找到您。
