Maritime navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems - Shipborne voyage data recorder (VDR) - Part 1: Performance requirements, methods of testing and required test results

IEC 61996-1:2013(E) specifies the minimum performance requirements, technical characteristics, methods of testing and required test results, for shipborne voyage data recorder (VDR) installations as required by Chapter V of the International Convention for Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), as amended. It takes account of IMO resolution A.694(17) and is associated with IEC 60945. When a requirement in this standard is different from IEC 60945, the requirement in this standard takes precedence. This standard incorporates the applicable parts of the performance standards included in IMO Resolution MSC.333(90). This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition. a) The description of the protective capsule in 4.3.4 has been changed in line with the requirements of the new IMO performance standards given in Resolution MSC.333(90) which now require a final recording medium comprising three parts; fixed, float-free and long-term. b) A new requirement for a performance test has been added in 4.3.6. c) Further data items to be recorded have been added to 4.6 for ECDIS, AIS, rolling motion and electronic logbooks. d) Clause 5 contains new technical requirements for configuration data, operational performance test and bridge alert management system. In addition, further technical requirements have been added to 5.6 for bridge audio and to 5.8 for radar and ECDIS images. e) References to 'alarm' requirements in the previous edition have been substituted by references to 'cautions' in line with current IMO recommendations. The test methods in Clause 6 have been updated to reflect the new requirements. f) New Annexes E, F and G concerning protocols for interfacing images using a Local Area Network have been added.

Matériels et systèmes de navigation et de radiocommunication maritimes - Enregistreur de données de navigation embarqué (VDR) - Partie 1: Exigences de fonctionnement, méthodes d'essai et résultats d'essai exigés

L'IEC 61996-1:2013 spécifie les exigences de performance, caractéristiques techniques et méthodes d'essai minimales ainsi que les résultats d'essai exigés pour les enregistreurs des données du voyage (VDR) de bord, comme exigé par le Chapitre V de la Convention internationale pour la sauvegarde de la vie humaine en mer (SOLAS – International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea) telle qu'amendée. Elle prend en compte la Résolution A.694(17) de l'OMI et est associée à l'IEC 60945. Lorsqu'une exigence de la présente norme diverge de l'IEC 60945, l'exigence de la présente norme prévaut. La présente norme incorpore les parties applicables des normes de fonctionnement incluses dans la Résolution MSC.333(90) de l'OMI. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: a) La description de la capsule de protection en 4.3.4 a été modifiée conformément aux exigences des nouvelles normes de fonctionnement de l'OMI données dans la Résolution MSC.333(90) qui exigent maintenant un support d'enregistrement final composé de trois parties; fixe, flottante et à long terme. b) Une nouvelle exigence pour un essai de fonctionnement a été ajoutée en 4.3.6. c) D'autres éléments de données à enregistrer ont été ajoutés à 4.6 pour l'ECDIS, l'AIS, le mouvement de roulis et les journaux de bord électroniques. d) L'Article 5 contient de nouvelles exigences techniques relatives aux données de configuration, à l'essai de fonctionnement opérationnel et au système de gestion des alertes à la passerelle. De plus, d'autres exigences techniques ont été ajoutées en 5.6 pour l'audio de la passerelle et en 5.8 pour les images radar et d'ECDIS. e) Les références aux exigences en matière d'"alarme" dans l'édition précédente ont été remplacées par des références aux "précautions" conformément aux recommandations de l'OMI. Les méthodes d'essai dans l'Article 6 ont été mises à jour pour refléter les nouvelles exigences. f) Les nouvelles Annexes E, F et G concernant les protocoles d'interfaçage des images à l'aide d'un réseau local ont été ajoutées.

Ta del standarda IEC 61996 določa minimalne zahteve za delovanje, tehnične zahteve, metode preskušanja in zahtevane rezultate preskusov za ladijski zapisovalnik podatkov o plovbi (»ladijska črna skrinjica«) (VDR) v skladu s V. poglavjem spremenjene Mednarodne konvencije o varstvu človeškega življenja na morju (SOLAS). Standard upošteva sklep A.694(17) Mednarodne pomorske organizacije in se navezuje na standard IEC 60945. Če se zahteva iz tega standarda razlikuje od zahteve iz standarda IEC 60945, velja zahteva iz tega standarda. Ta standard vključuje ustrezne dele standardov za delovanje, ki so zajeti v sklepu MSC.333(90) Mednarodne pomorske organizacije.
