Points to check before you buy
- 01
Ask for the original certificate, legal issuing body and approval number.
- 02
Check whether the vessel's current flag and class society still accept the evidence.
- 03
For replacement equipment, obtain current type approval where possible.
Before you buy
What to check before relying on this certification
Certification is normally limited to a named model, configuration, standard and use. These checks turn a marketing claim into a procurement record.
- 01
Request the full certificate or report; the acronym or former company name is not enough.
- 02
Identify the issuing legal entity, accreditation, test standard, model schedule and issue date.
- 03
Check whether the scheme has been replaced, migrated or withdrawn and obtain current evidence where required.
- 04
Ask the authority, insurer or consultant to accept the exact document in writing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is BRZ a current class-society approval?
The abbreviation alone is not enough to say. Confirm the full issuer and certificate with the vessel's flag and class society.
Can BRZ be used for new procurement?
Only if the authority accepts the exact current evidence. A recognised current class or statutory certificate is normally safer.
Does BRZ Marine Approval apply to every product made by a certified brand?
No. It normally applies only to the models, variants, uses and conditions named in the current certificate or listing.
What should I include in a purchase order?
State the exact model, required certification and standard, destination market, documents to be supplied and any system compatibility or witnessing requirements.
