EN 62376:2011

Maritime navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems - Electronic chart system (ECS) - Operational and performance requirements, methods of testing and required test results

IEC 62376:2010(E) specifies the minimum operational and performance requirements and methods of testing for Electronic Chart Systems (ECS). ECSs are designed or adapted for use as navigation information systems on vessels not required to comply with Chapter V of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS).

Pomorska navigacijska in radiokomunikacijska oprema in sistemi - Sistem elektronske karte (ECS) - Obratovalne in tehnične zahteve, preskusne metode in pričakovani rezultati preskušanja (IEC 62376:2010)

Ta mednarodni standard določa minimalne obratovalne in tehnične zahteve in preskusne metode za ECS. ECS so načrtovani za uporabo kot navigacijski in informacijski sistemi na plovilih, ki jim ni treba biti v skladu s poglavjem v Mednarodni konvenciji o varstvu človeškega življenja na morju (SOLAS). Različne vrste plovil, na primer, potniško plovilo, ki ni SOLAS, majhno ribiško plovilo ali rekreacijsko plovilo, ki deluje v različnih okoljih, je treba opremiti z navigacijskim sistemom, ki zagotavlja funkcionalnost, da zadosti njihovim potrebam. Če se šteje, da je polna funkcionalnost ECDIS v skladu z IEC 61147 nepotrebna, je lahko ECS primeren za navigacijski informacijski sistem za taka plovila. Vlade lahko upoštevajo zahtevo nošenja ECS za ta plovila z lokalnimi dogovori.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications.
