Sealegs Receives European Certification

Listed marine company, Sealegs Corporation

Limited (NZX:SLG), today announced it has received European CE approval on

its 5.6 metre amphibious rigid inflatable boats (RIBs)





Sealegs Chief Executive David McKee Wright says "gaining CE approval means we

now have certification to sell our amphibious boats into the 25 European

Union member countries, including the UK. The CE approval also allows us

entry into the European Economic Countries and Territories not already in the

European Union. This represents an additional 29 countries and territories."





The rigorous CE certification process required some design changes to the

Sealegs amphibious 5.6 metre boats. However the investment in making the

modifications is offset by the large international market opportunity which

CE approval represents.





Sealegs is now building all of its 5.6 metre amphibious RIBs to CE

certification levels which means that New Zealand and Australian customers

will also benefit from the higher approval level.





For the six month certification project, Sealegs engaged the New Zealand

office of the international CE Proof organisation who are the world's leading

consultancy for the CE Recreational Craft Directive.
