As a boat manufacturer, Sea Ray
®
builds their
products to guidelines established under the
Federal Boat Safety Act of 1971. The Act is
promulgated by the United States Coast Guard
who has authority to enforce these laws on boat
manufacturers that sell products in the United
States. Sea Ray
®
ensures that all of its products
comply with these laws.
The National Marine Manufacturers Association
(NMMA) provides Sea Ray
®
with a third party
certification. The NMMA is an organization that
represents the marine industry and assists
manufacturers, boat dealers, marinas, repair
yards and component suppliers in areas of
legislation, environmental concerns, marine
business growth and state and federal government
agency interaction. The third party certification
that Sea Ray
®
participates in, uses the well known
Standards and Recommended Practices of the
American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC).
Sea Ray
®
Boats participates extensively in
the American Boat and Yacht Council which
is a nonprofit organization that develops and
publishes voluntary standards and recommended
practices for boat and equipment design,
construction, service and repair. We utilize all
applicable ABYC standards in the construction
of your Sea Ray
®
boat.
Finally, Sea Ray
®
sells their products world wide
and as such must conform to the various rules
and regulations required by other countries. Most
notably, are the ISO standards in Europe which
require the application of the Common European
(CE) mark. This mark, much like the NMMA
certification here in the US, gives you the boat owner
specific information concerning your craft.
