and performance requirements, methods of testing
and required test results
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. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61097-16 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 80:
Maritime navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems.The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:

Part 16: Ship earth stations operating in mobile-satellite
systems recognized for use in the GMDSS – Operational
and performance requirements, methods of testing
and required test results
1 Scope
This part of IEC 61097 specifies the minimum operational and performance requirements,
methods of testing and required test results for any ship earth stations intended for operation
in mobile-satellite systems and services which are recognized by the International Maritime
Organization as meeting the criteria required by the IMO under regulation IV/4-1 of the
International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974, as amended, for the provision of
mobile-satellite systems and services in the GMDSS, regardless of the mobile satellite
provider used.This document incorporates the minimum criteria and performance standards of the IMO,
currently prescribed in IMO Resolution A.1001(25) in IMO Resolution MSC.434(98) and is
also associated with IMO Resolution A.694(17) and IEC 60945.All text of this document whose wording is identical to that of resolution MSC.434(98) is
printed in italics and reference is made to that resolution and the sub-clause number.
Matters relating to the installation of the ship earth station are given in Annex A.
