L'IEC 60092-504:2016 définit les équipements électriques, électroniques et programmables destinés aux systèmes d'automatisation, de commande, de surveillance, d'alerte, et de sécurité et de protection utilisés à bord des navires. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a) le titre de la partie a été modifié avec addition du terme "Automatisation";
b) le contenu du corrigendum de janvier 2011 a été intégré;
c) un nouveau paragraphe 5.1 "Généralités" contenant les exigences générales applicables aux essais de type a été ajouté;
d) le Tableau 1 a été aligné sur la dernière version du document IACS Req. 1991/Rev. 5, 2006;
e) la version révisée de la Résolution OMI A.1021(26), Recueil de règles relatives aux alertes et aux indicateurs:2009, a été prise en compte;
f) la Résolution OMI MSC.302(87) a été prise en compte. Par conséquent, le terme "alerte" a été utilisé lorsqu'il est question du terme générique. Cela concerne notamment le texte de 8.4 et 9.3;
g) un nouveau paragraphe 8.2.4: la version révisée de la Résolution OMI MSC.145(77) Normes de fonctionnement des détecteurs de niveau d'eau à bord des vraquiers: 2003 a été pris en compte;
h) le paragraphe 9.1 relatif aux systèmes de détection et d'alarme d'incendie a été entièrement révisé; la Résolution OMI MSC.98(73) (Recueil FSS) et son amendement MSC.292(87): 2010 ont été pris en compte;
i) un nouveau paragraphe 9.2 "Systèmes de cales" a été ajouté;
j) le paragraphe 9.4 "Installations de commande automatique pour alimentation électrique" et le paragraphe 9.5 "Installations de démarrage automatique pour systèmes auxiliaires à motorisation électrique" ont été intégralement révisés;
k) l'Article 10 "Systèmes informatiques" a été intégralement révisé;
