CEVNI Waterways Test/Assessment

Code Européen des Voies de Navigation Intérieure (CEVNI) is the code governing navigation on the interconnected European inland waterways.

Resolution 40 requires that candidates applying for an International Certificate of Competence (ICC) with the inland category validated have sufficient knowledge of the traffic regulations applicable on inland waters, in particular the CEVNI.

Those operating a craft on many of the inland waterways of Europe are expected to know the CEVNI as this is the basis of many of the various countries' own regulations. Passing the ICC CEVNI test is required in order for the Inland category on your ICC to be validated and indicates that candidates have knowledge of the traffic regulations applicable on inland waters. There is no separate CEVNI certificate or CEVNI endorsement.

The RYA ICC CEVNI test is a multiple choice paper and usually takes an hour to complete.
