The history of Eurofins Guidelines for Commercial Crafts begins from Nordic Boat Standards and guidelines have been constantly updated under different names during last decades.
Work boats have been inspected in accordance with the Nordic Boat Standard since 1983. The inspection has often been voluntary, but in some cases it has been statutory, for example as a condition for compensation from the Oil Pollution Fund. The development of NBS was discontinued in the early 1990s.
To replace it, the then Finnish Maritime Administration (currently Traficom) developed the Work Boat Guidelines with VTT Expert Services based on the NBS and new ISO standards that had been developed primarily for the needs of the Recreational Craft Directive.
The Eurofins Guidelines for Commercial Crafts offers a modern approach for the safety assessment of work boats 5.5 to 24 metres in length. The Eurofins Guidelines for Commercial Crafts can be used to extend specification to ensure that newbuilding will fit to purpose and can meet highest safety standards and it is widely used through industry.
The Guidelines for Commercial Crafts have been thoroughly revised, and the latest version was published in early summer 2021. Development timeline can be seen from below.
