(Main)Maritime navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems - Electronic chart display and information system (ECDIS) - Operational and performance requirements, methods of testing and required test results
Maritime navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems - Electronic chart display and information system (ECDIS) - Operational and performance requirements, methods of testing and required test results
IEC 61174:2015 specifies the performance requirements, methods of testing and required test results of equipment conforming to performance standards not inferior to those adopted by the IMO in resolution MSC.232(82). This standard is based upon the performance standards of IMO resolution MSC.232(82), and is also associated with IMO resolution A.694(17) and IEC 60945. Reference is made, where appropriate, to IMO resolution MSC.232(82), and all subclauses whose wording is identical to that in the resolution are printed in italics. The requirements of this standard are not intended to prevent the use of new techniques in equipment and systems, provided the facilities offered are not inferior to those stated. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- updated references are provided to IHO publications and test methods are updated to IHO test data sets;
- requirements have been added for display of radar and AIS information;
- new interface requirements have been added for BNWAS, VDR, BAM, MSI, INS and route transfer;
- a requirement for an anchor watch has been added;
- additional test methods are specified for operation of ECDIS beyond the normal range between 85 degrees South latitude and 85 degrees North latitude.
Matériels et systèmes de navigation et de radiocommunication maritimes - Système de visualisation des cartes électroniques et d'information (ECDIS) - Exigences opérationnelles et de fonctionnement, méthodes d'essai et résultats d'essai exigés
IEC 61174:2015 spécifie les exigences de fonctionnement, les méthodes d'essai et les résultats d'essai exigibles des équipements conformes aux normes de fonctionnement équivalant au moins à celles adoptées par l'OMI dans le cadre de la résolution MSC.232(82).
La présente norme se fonde sur les normes de fonctionnement stipulées dans la résolution MSC.232(82) de l'OMI et est également associée à la résolution A.694(17) de l'OMI ainsi qu'à l'IEC 60945. Il est fait référence, lorsque c'est approprié, à la résolution MSC.232(82) de l'OMI, et tous les paragraphes qui présentent une formulation identique à celle de la résolution sont imprimés en italiques.
A la résolution MSC.232(82) de l'OMI mentionnée ci-dessus s'ajoutent les publications de l'Organisation Hydrographique Internationale (OHI) OHI S-32, OHI S-52, OHI S-57, OHI S 61, OHI S-63 et OHI S-64. La présente norme comprend des extraits des publications ci dessus lorsqu'ils s'appliquent aux équipements concernés. Pour chaque référence, tous les paragraphes dont la formulation est identique à celle des publications sont imprimés en italique.
