Foreword
The text of document 80/471/CDV, future edition 2 of IEC 61996-2, prepared by TC 80, Maritime
navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems, was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC
Parallel Unique Acceptance Procedure and was approved by CENELEC as EN 61996-2 on 2008-06-01.
This European Standard supersedes EN 61996-2:2006.
A new requirement has been added to 4.3.6 for an interface to be used for downloading the stored data to
an external computer. This is defined in Annex C which replaces the Annex C of EN 61996-2:2006 which
contained an IMO Circular which recommended such an interface. An optional LAN interface for
connection to radar has been added in 5.8. Some corrections to the text have also been made.
The following dates were fixed:

– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented

at national level by publication of an identical
(dop) 2009-03-01
national standard or by endorsement

– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
(dow) 2011-06-01
with the EN have to be withdrawn
Annex ZA has been added by CENELEC.
__________
Endorsement notice
