Foreword
The text of document 80/470/CDV, future edition 1 of IEC 61996-1, 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 61996-1 on 2008-06-01.
This European Standard supersedes EN 61996:2000.
A new requirement has been added to 4.3.5 for an interface to be used for downloading the stored data to
an external computer. This is defined in Annex C which is derived from amendments published by the
IMO in resolution MSC.214(81). An optional LAN interface for connection to radar has been added in 5.8.
Some corrections to the text have also been made. Subclause 4.3.5 (Assessment of final recording
medium) has been renumbered as 4.3.4.2 and Subclause 4.3.6 (Interfaces) has been renumbered as
4.3.5.
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with the EN have to be withdrawn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
The text of the International Standard IEC 61996-1:2007 was approved by CENELEC as a European
Standard without any modification.
In the official version, for Bibliography, the following notes have to be added for the standards indicated:
IEC 60936-1 NOTE  Harmonized as EN 60936-1:2000 (not modified).
IEC 60936-3 NOTE  Harmonized as EN 60936-3:2002 (not modified).
