The Recreational Craft Directive, Directive 2013/53/EU, originally Directive 94/25/EC on recreational craft[1] amended by Directive 2003/44/EC, is a European Union directive which sets out minimum technical, safety and environmental standards for boats, personal watercraft, marine engines and components in Europe. It covers boats between 2.5 and 24m, personal watercraft, engines and a number of components built since 1998. It ensures their suitability for sale and use in Europe.
The 2013 Directive is usually referred to as RCD2 to differentiate it from the 1994 original.
