BRS-601 Rocket Granted Important European Union “CE” Mark

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.”
