If you require an ICC for power or sail valid for use on inland waters, you must learn the CEVNI code and sit the CEVNI exam. The exam can be taken immediatly on-line at RYA Interactive after purchasing an enrolment key from this site, or you can defer taking the exam for up to 6 months.
Signs, rules and procedures for navigating the European inland waterways are all included within the CEVNI code and in the same way as pleasure craft on coastal waters are expected to abide by the COLREGS, pleasure craft on the inland waterways of Europe, which in places are heavily utilised by commercial traffic are expected to know and follow the CEVNI code. Knowing and abiding by the regulations is the best way to protect yourself and your boat.
You must learn the CEVNI code before attempting the exam. We recommend the RYA European Waterways Regulations (G17) book which contains a sample exam paper. You can also take an on-line sample test at the RYA Interactive website.
The CEVNI on-line exam is a short multiple choice paper in two parts. Part 1 is about signs and buoyage and Part 2 is about sound signals, lights and shapes. Seven questions are asked in each part, and you must answer at least five questions correctly in each part to pass the whole test.
Please note the ICC is only available to applicants over the age of 16, so the CEVNI test shouldn’t be taken by under 16s
