Designation Allows Use Throughout The Entire EU
BRS Aerospace of South St. Paul, MN (Ballistic Recovery
Systems) has been awarded the European Union “CE” mark
for its BRS-601 pyrotechnic rocket used in many of its
whole-aircraft emergency parachute recovery systems sold to
selected sport aircraft enthusiasts throughout Europe, the company
announced Monday.
Precipitating the CE mark approval, and its associated
Certificate of Conformity, the BRS 601 successfully passed a
rigorous set of performance tests conducted by the BAM, which is
the Federal Republic of Germany’s Federal Institute for
Materials Research and Testing. This ground breaking accomplishment
marks the first, and currently only, pyrotechnic product that the
BAM has approved according to the new European Regulations for use
in the recreational aviation environment, allowing the unilateral
adoption of the BRS 601 rocket throughout the entire European Union
(EU). Not only is the CE designation mandatory to confirm adherence
to a stringent set of European Directives/Regulations, the CE
certification also provides the end user the confidence that the
BRS 601 has met EU safety, health, and environmental
requirements.
Larry Wiliams
Larry Williams, CEO and President of BRS Aerospace, said,
“ To have our product attain the CE mark is noteworthy in
that it tells the entire European flying consumer base, and the
whole world for that matter, that BRS Aerospace designs,
manufacturers, and sells solidly reliable products tested and
verified safe by an independent and well-regarded European agency.
The flying public can be assured, therefore, that should they ever
need to use a BRS parachute containing this rocket, it will have
met the highest safety standards available in Europe.”
