Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out

through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical

committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International

organizations, governmental and non­governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the

different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 8, Ships and marine technology,

Subcommittee SC 6, Navigation and ship operations.

This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 9875:2000), which has been technically

revised. It also incorporates the Technical Corrigendum ISO 9875:2000/Cor 1:2006.

The main changes are as follows:
— the normative references have been updated;

— bridge alert management requirements have been added in 5.6 and the test method in 6.8;

— interface requirements have been added in 5.9;

— Annex B has been replaced with a new Annex on alerts definition, including alert identifiers

associated with Resolution MSC.302(87) for requirements and tests where applicable.

In accordance with IMO Resolution MSC.74(69), Annex 4, Articles 1 and 2, the purpose of echo-sounding

equipment is to provide reliable information on the depth of water under a ship to aid navigation in

particular in shallow water. This document is applicable for ship speeds from 0 kn to 30 kn.

Ships and marine technology — Marine magnetic compasses, binnacles and azimuth reading devices

This document specifies requirements for the construction and performance of marine magnetic compasses for navigation and steering purposes, binnacles and azimuth reading devices. Two types of binnacle are specified; the appropriate type for a given vessel is determined by the design of the ship (see Clause 5). This document applies to liquid-filled magnetic compasses: — intended for use in ship's navigation and steering in sea navigation; — having a direct reading system; and — which can be of the reflecting, projecting or transmitting types. In the context of this document, a magnetic compass is an instrument consisting of a directional system supported by a single pivot inside a bowl that is completely filled with liquid and supported by gimbals inside or outside the bowl. However, this document also addresses compasses without gimbals; the requirements relating to gimbals do not apply to such compasses. This document applies to magnetic compasses carried on board: a) all ships required to carry a standard compass as per SOLAS Chapter V, the Class A magnetic compass; b) lifeboats and rescue boats as per the IMO Lifesaving Appliances (LSA) Code, fitted with the Class B magnetic compass; and c) all ships to which a) and b) above do not apply, but which are fitted with a Class A or B magnetic compass. This document does not apply to: a) dry card compasses; b) types of compass designed on principles different from those stated above or not complying with the descriptions given; or c) hand bearing compasses. The requirements for the testing and certification of marine magnetic compasses, azimuth reading devices and binnacles are given in Annexes A, B, C, and D. The requirements for the positioning in ships, the determination of safe distances and the deviation adjustment of compasses are given in Annexes E, F and G, respectively. The special requirements of the magnetic compass for lifeboats/rescue boats are given in Annex H.
