 abstract={The author analyzes the role of classification institutions in the system of maritime safety. The legislation of November 9, 2000 on maritime safety assigns well-described roles to classification institutions, among others. This is not new legislation since one chapter of the maritime code of 1961 addressed the issue of sea vessel safety, as did an even earlier Polish Republic presidential order of 1930. In this area, Polish maritime law complies with European law, especially with regard to Council Directive No. 94/57/WE of November 22, 1994. The executive order to art. 15, act 1, pt. 2 in the act on maritime saf ety was constructed to correspond to this directive. This refers to the order of November 20, 2002 regarding the procedure to grant approval for classification institutions to undertake the technical supervision of vessels and the types and ranges of servicing of sea-going vessels. Vessels cannot be used in maritime shipping if they do not comply with lega[ requirements regarding their construction, fixed devices, and equipment. The regulation of November 29, 2000 on maritime safety refers to intemational conventions and to the rules in this act. The controversial issue is if the minister responsible for issues regarding the maritime industry can legally approve current technical regulations regarding vessel construction, fixed devices, and equipment issued by a Polish classification institution.},
