Personal water Craft (PWC) Jet Ski's
Yamaha, Seadoo, Kawasaki
We are able to carry out certification proceedure on Personal Water Craft (PWC) or Jet Skis, the guidelines for certification to the Recreational Craft Directive 94/25/EC as amended by 2003/44/EC require that a sound test is completed for each Ski, in addition engine emissions requirements mean that it is not possible to certify older 2 stroke machines. Realistically speaking, if the engine is not CARB (Californian) 3 star or above compliant it is probably not possible to certify. There are exceptions, below you will find the guidelines for other standards. We offer lower pricing for PWC Jet Skis
