IEC 62288:2014

Maritime navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems - Presentation of navigation-related information on shipborne navigational displays - General requirements, methods of testing and required test results

IEC 62288:2014 specifies the general requirements, methods of testing, and required test results for the presentation of navigation-related information on shipborne navigational displays in support of IMO resolutions MSC.191(79) and MSC.302(87). This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- References to IBS have been removed as IMO has revoked MSC.64(67) Annex 1:1996, Performance standards for integrated bridge systems (IBS).
- Subclause 4.9 (Alerts and indicators) has been revised to align the requirements with the IMO resolutions MSC.252(83), MSC.302(87) and A.1021(26) published since MSC.191(79), together with a new Annex F for alert related icons.
- Clause 5 (Presentation of operational information) has been revised with a new requirement added for merging AIS targets from multiple sources.
- Test methods have been reviewed and further guidance on testing added to Annex D. A new normative Annex G has been added for testing of colours, intensity and flicker.
- Annex A (Presentation of colours and symbols) has been revised with AIS AtoN symbols, AIS-SART symbol and wheel over position symbol redefined, and new symbols added for AIS SAR aircraft, AIS SAR vessel, MSI and AIS application specific messages.

Matériels et systèmes de navigation et de radiocommunication maritimes - Présentation des informations relatives à la navigation sur des affichages de navigation de bord - Exigences générales, méthodes d'essai et résultats d'essai exigés

L'IEC 62288:2014 spécifie les exigences générales, les méthodes d'essai, et les résultats d'essai exigés pour la présentation des informations relatives à la navigation sur des affichages de navigation de bord, et vient à l'appui des résolutions MSC.191(79) et MSC.302(87) de l'OMI.
Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
- Les références aux IBS (Integrated Bridge Systems - systèmes de passerelle intégrés) ont été supprimées, car l'OMI a annulé la résolution MSC.64(67) Annexe 1:1996, Normes de fonctionnement des systèmes de passerelle intégrés (IBS).
- Le paragraphe ‎4.9 (Alertes et indicateurs) a été révisé pour garantir la cohérence des exigences avec les résolutions MSC.252(83), MSC.302(87) et A.1021(26) de l'OMI publiées depuis la parution de la résolution MSC.191(79), conjointement à une nouvelle ‎Annexe F pour les icônes d'alerte.
- L'Article ‎5 (Présentation des informations opérationnelles) a été révisé par l'ajout d'une nouvelle exigence relative à la fusion de cibles AIS (Automatic Identification System - Système d'identification automatique) issues de plusieurs sources.
- Des méthodes d'essai ont été révisées et des préconisations supplémentaires relatives aux essais ont été ajoutées à l'‎Annexe D. Une nouvelle ‎Annexe G normative a été ajoutée pour les essais de couleurs, d'intensité et de scintillement.
- L'‎Annexe A (Présentation des couleurs et des symboles) a été révisée par la redéfinition des symboles AIS AtoN (Aid to navigation - Aide à la navigation), du symbole AIS SART et du symbole "Position de manœuvre de la barre" ainsi que par l'ajout de nouveaux symboles AIS pour aéronef SAR, pour navire AIS SAR et les messages spécifiques aux MSI et à l'AIS.
