FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the 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, the IEC publishes International Standards. 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. The 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 the 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 National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61209 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 80: Maritime
navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
80/199/FDIS 80/221/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
Annexes A and D form an integral part of this standard.
Annexes B, C and E are for information only.
A bilingual version of this standard may be issued at a later date.

INTRODUCTION
In 1991, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) technical committee 80 (TC 80)
observed that, while considerable work was progressing to develop standards for the individual
systems or subsystems of a modern ship’s bridge, no international organization had yet
assigned the task of integrating these individual systems or co-ordinating the individual
standards.
The normal progression would be the development of an International Maritime Organization
(IMO) safety-related circular or assembly resolution, to be followed by assignment for the
development of the IEC standard to a TC working group (WG).
IEC TC 80 felt that the development of an integrated bridge system was so important that they
should not wait any longer before embarking on the development of this International Standard.
They therefore assigned the task to TC 80, WG 9, Integrated bridge systems (IBS) for ships,
and informed IMO of this work programme.
WG 9 co-ordinated their work closely with similar activity within the IMO subcommittees on
Safety of Navigation (NAV), Design and Equipment, Radiocommunications, Search and
Rescue, and other working groups of TC 80, the activities of the International Association of
Classification Societies (IACS), as well as individual classification societies, and national
initiatives. Many of the working group members actively participated in one or more of these
other groups.
IEC TC 80 submitted the material contained in the requirements section of this standard to IMO
with a proposal that it could provide the basis for an international agreement on the subject of
integrated bridges. The IMO Maritime Safety Committee (MSC), at its 67th session, agreed to
the essence of this proposal and adopted resolution MSC.64(67), annex 1, performance
standards for integrated bridge systems (IBS).
The aims of this standard are to provide recommendations for the design, manufacture,
integration and testing of:
– stand-alone equipment;
– networks;
– integration units; and
– multifunction displays
in connection with the aspect of interaction (integration) within a bridge.

1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the minimum requirements for the design, manufacture,
integration and testing of integrated bridge systems (IBS) to comply with IMO resolution
MSC.64(67), annex 1, of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), and other relevant IMO
performance standards, in order to meet the functional requirements contained in applicable
IMO instruments, not precluding multiple usage of equipment and modules or the need for
duplication.
Reference is made, where appropriate, to IMO resolution MSC.64(67) annex 1, and text in this
standard, the meaning of which is identical to that in the IMO resolution, is printed in italics and
identified by the resolution paragraph numbers in brackets.
This standard aims to increase safe and efficient ship management by suitably qualified
personnel taking care of, inter alia, uninterrupted functional availability of systems, and of
human factors.
Operation of the IBS may conflict with the requirements for individual equipment. Such conflicts
may imply modification to, or deviation from, individual equipment standards or the carriage of
additional equipment. This standard highlights those deviations as well as their justification.
Existing standards for individual equipment are not addressed.
