EN 61097-1:2007

Global maritime distress and safety system (GMDSS) - Part 1: Radar transponder - Marine search and rescue (SART) - Operational and performance requirements, methods of testing and required test results

Specifies the performance standards and type testing of marine radar transponders used in search and rescue operations at sea (SART), as required by Regulation 6.2.2 of Chapter III, and 7.1.3 and 8.3.1 of Chapter IV of the 1988 amendments to the 1974 International Convention for Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS). Is associated with IEC 60936 and IEC 60945. This new edition takes into account changes to the IMO performance standards for the SART in resolution A.802(19).

Système mondial de détresse et de sécurité en mer (GMDSS) - Partie 1: Répondeur radar - Recherche et sauvetage maritime (SART) - Exigences opérationnelles et de fonctionnement, méthodes d'essai et résultats exigibles

L'IEC 61097-1:2007 définit les normes de performance et les essais de type des répondeurs radar maritimes utilisés pour les opérations de recherche et de sauvetage en mer (SAR), comme exigé par les règles 6.2.2 du Chapitre III, ainsi qu'en 7.1.3 et 8.3.1 du Chapitre IV des amendements de 1988 à la Convention internationale pour la sauvegarde de la vie humaine en mer (SOLAS) de 1974, et qui est associée à l'IEC 60936 (Radars de navire) et à l'IEC 60945 (Spécifications générales). La présente Norme inclut les normes de performance des Résolutions A.530 (13) et A.802 (19) (Répondeurs radar pour embarcations et radeaux de sauvetage destinés à être utilisés lors des opérations de recherche et de sauvetage) de l'OMI ainsi que les caractéristiques techniques de ces répondeurs contenues dans la Recommandation ITU-R M.628-4, et tient compte des exigences générales contenues dans la Résolution A.694 (17) de l'OMI. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 1992. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Les principales modifications apportées à l’édition précédente sont les suivantes: - certains amendements destinés à mettre la norme à jour conformément à des résolutions de l'OMI et des recommandations UIT plus récentes. En particulier, en 1995, l'OMI a adopté de nouvelles normes de performance relatives à la recherche et au sauvetage maritime (SART) dans la résolution A.802(19) qui a remplacé les normes de la résolution A.697(17). Cette nouvelle résolution a introduit une nouvelle exigence relative aux répondeurs SAR à prendre en considération en même temps qu’une réorganisation des équipements montés sur le mât. En 2006, la recommandation révisée ITU-R M.628, qui a autorisé l'utilisation de la polarisation circulaire avec la recherche et le sauvetage maritime; - l'Introduction a été supprimée, car elle présentait uniquement un intérêt historique; - l'Annexe A, qui contenait des détails relatifs aux parties de la série de normes IEC 61097, a été supprimée puisque ces informations sont désormais disponibles dans le présent Avant-propos; - l'Annexe B contenant une Bibliographie a été supprimée et les informations associées ont été déplacées dans les références normatives.

Foreword
The text of document 80/479/FDIS, future edition 2 of IEC 61097-1, prepared by IEC TC 80, Maritime
navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems, was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC
parallel vote and was approved by CENELEC as EN 61097-1 on 2007-08-01.
This European Standard supersedes EN 61097-1:1993.
The main changes with respect to EN 61097-1:1993 are listed below:
– some amendments to bring the standard up to date with newer IMO resolutions and
ITU recommendations. In particular, in 1995, the IMO adopted new performance standards for the
SART in resolution A.802 (19) which replaced those of resolution A.697 (17). This new resolution
introduced a new requirement for the SART to be provided with a pole arrangement. In 2006, the
ITU-R revised recommendation M.628 to permit the optional use of circular polarisation with the
SART;
– the Introduction has been deleted as it was of historical interest only;
– Annex A, which contained details of the parts of the EN 61097 series of standards, has been deleted;
– Annex B, which contained a Bibliography, has been deleted and the information moved into the
normative references.
The following dates were fixed:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2008-05-01
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
(dow) 2010-08-01
with the EN have to be withdrawn
Annex ZA has been added by CENELEC.
__________
Endorsement notice
The text of the International Standard IEC 61097-1:2007 was approved by CENELEC as a European
Standard without any modification.
