4 General requirements
4.1 Bridge alert management implementation
4.1.1 Introduction
Compliance with the BAM concept, including the interfaces required for BAM, is a functional and conceptual extension
to, not a substitution of, facilities as required in ETSI EN 300 338-2 [2]. Compliance with ETSI EN 300 338-2 [2] is
required unless the present document requires otherwise. According to MSC.302(87) [8] and IEC 62923-1 [3], in case
of conflict between the alert requirements of ETSI EN 300 338-2 [2] and the present document, the requirements and
tests of the present document and of MSC.302(87) [8], IEC 62923-1 [3] and IEC 62923-2 [7] shall take precedence.
ETSI
---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
9 ETSI EN 300 338-7 V1.1.1 (2022-04)
According to the BAM concept it is necessary to prioritize BAM alerts and the priorities shall be determined by the
DSC equipment. The BAM concept poses requirements on the alert definition concept, alert properties and the Human
Machine Interface (HMI). For guidance see IEC 62923-1 [3], Annex E. Further a signalling interface and a protocol are
defined for interfacing equipment to a CAM system or to other BAM compliant equipment according to
IEC 62923-1 [3], IEC 61162-1 [4] and IEC 62923-2 [7]. The present document adopts the signalling protocol and
allows, within limits, for DSC alarms from radio equipment to be part of the BAM concept or otherwise facilitates
these.
4.1.2 Requirements
The EUT shall comply with the requirements of ETSI EN 300 338-2 [2], IEC 62923-1 [3] and IEC 62923-2 [7].
Informative guidance on implementing Bridge Alert Management can be found in Annex B to the present document.
4.1.3 Methods of test and required test results
It shall be confirmed that the EUT complies with the tests in ETSI EN 300 338-2 [2], IEC 62923-1 [3] and
IEC 62923-2 [7].
4.2 Audible signals for BAM alerts vs audible indications
4.2.1 General
BAM alerts are alerts falling into the concept of Bridge Alert Management (BAM) (see MSC.302(87) [8] and
IEC 62923-1 [3]). BAM applies to all alerts presented on, or transferred to, the bridge of a vessel (the concept can also
be applied in other areas). The visual and audible announcements of BAM alerts are always handled on the EUT, and,
within limitations, additionally on the CAM system. The latter of which is not covered in the present document (see
IEC 62923-1 [3] and IEC 62923-2 [7]).
The BAM concept provides, amongst others, requirements for a human machine interface and provides a standardized
method to disseminate the information to the CAM system, thus requiring the support of the alert signalling interface
and protocol as defined in IEC 61162-1 [4] and IEC 62923-1 [3].
BAM alerts are distinct from matters such as DSC aural alarms. For the purpose of the present document the audible
presentation and handling of DSC aurals defined in Recommendation ITU-R M.493-15 [1] and ETSI EN 300 338-2 [2]
includes:
• audible signals. An audible signal is intended to recognize the existence and priority of a BAM alert and to
identify the equipment where an audible BAM alert can be handled. In the present document some audible
signals are directly based on DSC aurals, see Annex A and Table A.1;
• sound in the time allotted for speech output. Speech output is intended to recognize the specific BAM alert.
Some DSC aurals are allowed or required for this purpose, see Annex A and Table A.1; and
• audible indications (see also IEC 62923-1 [3]). Most DSC aurals are audible indications for the purpose of the
present document. The audible indications that occur together with a caution are listed in Annex A and
Table A.1.
Audible indications indicating DSC aural alarms or other situations may be applied in the EUT for functionality that
does not warrant a BAM alert, for example a tone for pressing the dedicated distress button, or for situations that do not
warrant an audible BAM alert, for example when the corresponding BAM alerts raised are only characterized as a
caution (thus without audible signal). Situations where ITU has defined sounds that need to be detached from alert
management altogether are therefore not defined in the present document.
Audible indications (mandatory or manufacturer specific) may be applied subject to the requirements defined in
clause 4.2.2.
ETSI
---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
10 ETSI EN 300 338-7 V1.1.1 (2022-04)
4.2.2 Requirements
BAM alerts of priority warning and alarm shall not be accompanied with an audible indication (only the audible
presentation defined in IEC 62923-1 [3] is allowed).
All sounds provided by the EUT that are not required by the present document as (part of the) audible presentation of a
BAM alert (i.e. an audible signal for a BAM alert and the signal in the time for 'speech output') are audible indications.
When an audible indication is provided, it shall:
• not be possible to be misinterpreted as a BAM alert;
• not be startling;
• be less disturbing then BAM alerts; and
• be either:
- momentary or temporary without user interaction; or
- stop after a defined user action on the equipment, which action is not related to alert management (this
user action shall not involve the alert acknowledgement or silencing features). See also clause A.1.
4.2.3 Methods of test and required test results
It shall be confirmed by inspection of the EUT that BAM alerts of priority warning and alarm are not accompanied with
an audible indication, thus only the audible presentation defined in IEC 62923-1 [3] shall occur.
It shall be confirmed by inspection of the EUT that when an audible indication is provided, e.g. along with a caution
raised or detached from alert management, the audible indication:
• cannot be misinterpreted as a BAM alert;
• is not startling;
• is less disturbing then BAM alerts; and
• is either:
- momentary or tem

4 General requirements
4.1 Bridge alert management implementation
4.1.1 Introduction
Compliance with the BAM concept, including the interfaces required for BAM, is a functional and conceptual extension
to, not a substitution of, facilities as required in ETSI EN 300 338-2 [2]. Compliance with ETSI EN 300 338-2 [2] is
required unless the present document requires otherwise. According to MSC.302(87) [8] and IEC 62923-1 [3], in case
of conflict between the alert requirements of ETSI EN 300 338-2 [2] and the present document, the requirements and
tests of the present document and of MSC.302(87) [8], IEC 62923-1 [3] and IEC 62923-2 [7] shall take precedence.
ETSI

SIST EN 300 338-7 V1.1.1:2022
9 ETSI EN 300 338-7 V1.1.1 (2022-04)
According to the BAM concept it is necessary to prioritize BAM alerts and the priorities shall be determined by the
DSC equipment. The BAM concept poses requirements on the alert definition concept, alert properties and the Human
Machine Interface (HMI). For guidance see IEC 62923-1 [3], Annex E. Further a signalling interface and a protocol are
defined for interfacing equipment to a CAM system or to other BAM compliant equipment according to
IEC 62923-1 [3], IEC 61162-1 [4] and IEC 62923-2 [7]. The present document adopts the signalling protocol and
allows, within limits, for DSC alarms from radio equipment to be part of the BAM concept or otherwise facilitates
these.
4.1.2 Requirements
The EUT shall comply with the requirements of ETSI EN 300 338-2 [2], IEC 62923-1 [3] and IEC 62923-2 [7].
Informative guidance on implementing Bridge Alert Management can be found in Annex B to the present document.
4.1.3 Methods of test and required test results
It shall be confirmed that the EUT complies with the tests in ETSI EN 300 338-2 [2], IEC 62923-1 [3] and
IEC 62923-2 [7].
4.2 Audible signals for BAM alerts vs audible indications
4.2.1 General
BAM alerts are alerts falling into the concept of Bridge Alert Management (BAM) (see MSC.302(87) [8] and
IEC 62923-1 [3]). BAM applies to all alerts presented on, or transferred to, the bridge of a vessel (the concept can also
be applied in other areas). The visual and audible announcements of BAM alerts are always handled on the EUT, and,
within limitations, additionally on the CAM system. The latter of which is not covered in the present document (see
IEC 62923-1 [3] and IEC 62923-2 [7]).
The BAM concept provides, amongst others, requirements for a human machine interface and provides a standardized
method to disseminate the information to the CAM system, thus requiring the support of the alert signalling interface
and protocol as defined in IEC 61162-1 [4] and IEC 62923-1 [3].
BAM alerts are distinct from matters such as DSC aural alarms. For the purpose of the present document the audible
presentation and handling of DSC aurals defined in Recommendation ITU-R M.493-15 [1] and ETSI EN 300 338-2 [2]
includes:
• audible signals. An audible signal is intended to recognize the existence and priority of a BAM alert and to
identify the equipment where an audible BAM alert can be handled. In the present document some audible
signals are directly based on DSC aurals, see Annex A and Table A.1;
• sound in the time allotted for speech output. Speech output is intended to recognize the specific BAM alert.
Some DSC aurals are allowed or required for this purpose, see Annex A and Table A.1; and
• audible indications (see also IEC 62923-1 [3]). Most DSC aurals are audible indications for the purpose of the
present document. The audible indications that occur together with a caution are listed in Annex A and
Table A.1.
Audible indications indicating DSC aural alarms or other situations may be applied in the EUT for functionality that
does not warrant a BAM alert, for example a tone for pressing the dedicated distress button, or for situations that do not
warrant an audible BAM alert, for example when the corresponding BAM alerts raised are only characterized as a
caution (thus without audible signal). Situations where ITU has defined sounds that need to be detached from alert
management altogether are therefore not defined in the present document.
Audible indications (mandatory or manufacturer specific) may be applied subject to the requirements defined in
clause 4.2.2.

4 General requirements
4.1 Bridge alert management implementation
4.1.1 Introduction
Compliance with the BAM concept, including the interfaces required for BAM, is a functional and conceptual extension
to, not a substitution of, facilities as required in ETSI EN 300 338-2 [2]. Compliance with ETSI EN 300 338-2 [2] is
required unless the present document requires otherwise. According to MSC.302(87) [8] and IEC 62923-1 [3], in case
of conflict between the alert requirements of ETSI EN 300 338-2 [2] and the present document, the requirements and
tests of the present document and of MSC.302(87) [8], IEC 62923-1 [3] and IEC 62923-2 [7] shall take precedence.
ETSI
---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
9 Final draft ETSI EN 300 338-7 V1.1.0 (2022-02)
According to the BAM concept it is necessary to prioritize BAM alerts and the priorities shall be determined by the
DSC equipment. The BAM concept poses requirements on the alert definition concept, alert properties and the Human
Machine Interface (HMI). For guidance see IEC 62923-1 [3], Annex E. Further a signalling interface and a protocol are
defined for interfacing equipment to a CAM system or to other BAM compliant equipment according to
IEC 62923-1 [3], IEC 61162-1 [4] and IEC 62923-2 [7]. The present document adopts the signalling protocol and
allows, within limits, for DSC alarms from radio equipment to be part of the BAM concept or otherwise facilitates
these.
4.1.2 Requirements
The EUT shall comply with the requirements of ETSI EN 300 338-2 [2], IEC 62923-1 [3] and IEC 62923-2 [7].
Informative guidance on implementing Bridge Alert Management can be found in Annex B to the present document.
4.1.3 Methods of test and required test results
It shall be confirmed that the EUT complies with the tests in ETSI EN 300 338-2 [2], IEC 62923-1 [3] and
IEC 62923-2 [7].
4.2 Audible signals for BAM alerts vs audible indications
4.2.1 General
BAM alerts are alerts falling into the concept of Bridge Alert Management (BAM) (see MSC.302(87) [8] and
IEC 62923-1 [3]). BAM applies to all alerts presented on, or transferred to, the bridge of a vessel (the concept can also
be applied in other areas). The visual and audible announcements of BAM alerts are always handled on the EUT, and,
within limitations, additionally on the CAM system. The latter of which is not covered in the present document (see
IEC 62923-1 [3] and IEC 62923-2 [7]).
The BAM concept provides, amongst others, requirements for a human machine interface and provides a standardized
method to disseminate the information to the CAM system, thus requiring the support of the alert signalling interface
and protocol as defined in IEC 61162-1 [4] and IEC 62923-1 [3].
BAM alerts are distinct from matters such as DSC aural alarms. For the purpose of the present document the audible
presentation and handling of DSC aurals defined in Recommendation ITU-R M.493-15 [1] and ETSI EN 300 338-2 [2]
includes:
• audible signals. An audible signal is intended to recognize the existence and priority of a BAM alert and to
identify the equipment where an audible BAM alert can be handled. In the present document some audible
signals are directly based on DSC aurals, see Annex A and Table A.1;
• sound in the time allotted for speech output. Speech output is intended to recognize the specific BAM alert.
Some DSC aurals are allowed or required for this purpose, see Annex A and Table A.1; and
• audible indications (see also IEC 62923-1 [3]). Most DSC aurals are audible indications for the purpose of the
present document. The audible indications that occur together with a caution are listed in Annex A and
Table A.1.
Audible indications indicating DSC aural alarms or other situations may be applied in the EUT for functionality that
does not warrant a BAM alert, for example a tone for pressing the dedicated distress button, or for situations that do not
warrant an audible BAM alert, for example when the corresponding BAM alerts raised are only characterized as a
caution (thus without audible signal). Situations where ITU has defined sounds that need to be detached from alert
management altogether are therefore not defined in the present document.
Audible indications (mandatory or manufacturer specific) may be applied subject to the requirements defined in
clause 4.2.2.
ETSI
---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
10 Final draft ETSI EN 300 338-7 V1.1.0 (2022-02)
4.2.2 Requirements
BAM alerts of priority warning and alarm shall not be accompanied with an audible indication (only the audible
presentation defined in IEC 62923-1 [3] is allowed).
All sounds provided by the EUT that are not required by the present document as (part of the) audible presentation of a
BAM alert (i.e. an audible signal for a BAM alert and the signal in the time for 'speech output') are audible indications.
When an audible indication is provided, it shall:
• not be possible to be misinterpreted as a BAM alert;
• not be startling;
• be less disturbing then BAM alerts; and
• be either:
- momentary or temporary without user interaction; or
- stop after a defined user action on the equipment, which action is not related to alert management (this
user action shall not involve the alert acknowledgement or silencing features). See also clause A.1.
4.2.3 Methods of test and required test results
It shall be confirmed by inspection of the EUT that BAM alerts of priority warning and alarm are not accompanied with
an audible indication, thus only the audible presentation defined in IEC 62923-1 [3] shall occur.
It shall be confirmed by inspection of the EUT that when an audible indication is provided, e.g. along with a caution
raised or detached from alert management, the audible indication:
• cannot be misinterpreted as a BAM alert;
• is not startling;
• is less disturbing then BAM alerts; and
• is either:
- momentary or te

The EUT shall comply with the requirements of ETSI EN 300 338-2 [2], IEC 62923-1 [3] and IEC 62923-2 [7].
Informative guidance on implementing Bridge Alert Management can be found in Annex B to the present document.
4.1.2 Methods of test and required test results
It shall be confirmed that the EUT complies with the tests in ETSI EN 300 338-2 [2], IEC 62923-1 [3] and
IEC 62923-2 [7].
4.2 Audible signals for BAM alerts vs audible indications
4.2.1 General
BAM alerts are alerts falling into the concept of Bridge Alert Management (BAM) (see MSC.302(87) [8] and
IEC 62923-1 [3]). BAM applies to all alerts presented on, or transferred to, the bridge of a vessel (the concept can also
be applied in other areas). The visual and audible announcements of BAM alerts are always handled on the EUT, and,
within limitations, additionally on the CAM system. The latter of which is not covered in the present document (see
IEC 62923-1 [3] and IEC 62923-2 [7]).
The BAM concept provides amongst others human machine interface requirements and provides a standardized method
to disseminate the information to the CAM system, thus requiring the support of the alert signalling interface and
protocol as defined in IEC 61162-1 [4] and IEC 62923-1 [3].
BAM alerts are distinct from matters such as DSC aural alarms. For the purpose of the present document the audible
presentation and handling of DSC aurals defined in Recommendation ITU-R M.493-15 [1] and ETSI EN 300 338-2 [2]
includes:
• audible signals. An audible signal is intended to recognize the existence and priority of a BAM alert and to
identify the equipment where an audible BAM alert can be handled. In the present document some audible
signals are directly based on DSC aurals, see Annex A and Table A.1;
• sound in the time allotted for speech output. Speech output is intended to recognize the specific BAM alert.
Some DSC aurals are allowed or required for this purpose, see Annex A and Table A.1; and
• audible indications (see also IEC 62923-1 [3]). Most DSC aurals are audible indications for the purpose of the
present document. The audible indications that occur together with a caution are listed in Annex A and
Table A.1.
ETSI
---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
10 Draft ETSI EN 300 338-7 V1.0.0 (2021-07)
Audible indications indicating DSC aural alarms or other situations may be applied in the EUT for functionality that
does not warrant a BAM alert, for example a tone for pressing the dedicated distress button, or for situations that do not
warrant an audible BAM alert, for example when the corresponding BAM alerts raised are only characterized as a
caution (thus without audible signal). Situations where ITU has defined sounds that need to be detached from alert
management altogether are therefore not defined in the present document.
Audible indications (mandatory or manufacturer specific) may be applied subject to the requirements defined in
clause 4.2.2.
4.2.2 Requirements
BAM alerts of priority warning and alarm shall not be accompanied with an audible indication (only the audible
presentation defined in IEC 62923-1 [3] is allowed).
All sounds provided by the EUT that are not required by the present document as (part of the) audible presentation of a
BAM alert (i.e. an audible signal for a BAM alert and the signal in the time for 'speech output') are audible indications.
When an audible indication is provided, it shall:
• not be possible to be confused with a BAM alert;
• not be startling;
• be less disturbing then BAM alerts; and
• be either:
- momentary or temporary without user interaction, or
- stop after a defined user action on the equipment, which action is not related to alert management (this
user action shall not involve the alert acknowledgement or silencing features). See also clause A.1.
4.2.3 Methods of test and required test results
It shall be confirmed by inspection of the EUT that BAM alerts of priority warning and alarm are not accompanied with
an audible indication, thus only the audible presentation defined in IEC 62923-1 [3] shall occur.
It shall be confirmed by inspection of the EUT that when an audible indication is provided, e.g. along with a caution
raised or detached from alert management, the audible indication:
• cannot be confused with a BAM alert;
• is not startlin

4 General requirements
4.1 Bridge alert management implementation
4.1.1 Requirements
Compliance with the BAM concept, including the interfaces required for BAM, is a functional and conceptual extension
to, not a substitution of, facilities as required in ETSI EN 300 338-2 [2]. Compliance with ETSI EN 300 338-2 [2] is
required unless the present document requires otherwise. According to MSC.302(87) [8] and IEC 62923-1 [3], in case
of conflict between the alert requirements of ETSI EN 300 338-2 [2] and the present document, the requirements and
tests of the present document and of MSC.302(87) [8], IEC 62923-1 [3] and IEC 62923-2 [7] shall take precedence.
According to the BAM concept it is necessary to prioritize BAM alerts and the priorities shall be determined by the
DSC equipment. The BAM concept poses requirements on the alert definition concept, alert properties and the Human
Machine Interface (HMI). For guidance see IEC 62923-1 [3], Annex E.
Further a signalling interface and a protocol are defined for interfacing equipment to a CAM system or to other BAM
compliant equipment according to IEC 62923-1 [3], IEC 61162-1 [4] and IEC 62923-2 [7]. The present document
adopts the signalling protocol and allows, within limits, for DSC alarms from radio equipment to be part of the BAM
concept or otherwise facilitates these.
The EUT shall comply with the requirements of ETSI EN 300 338-2 [2], IEC 62923-1 [3] and IEC 62923-2 [7].
Informative guidance on implementing Bridge Alert Management can be found in Annex B to the present document.
4.1.2 Methods of test and required test results
It shall be confirmed that the EUT complies with the tests in ETSI EN 300 338-2 [2], IEC 62923-1 [3] and
IEC 62923-2 [7].
4.2 Audible signals for BAM alerts vs audible indications
4.2.1 General
BAM alerts are alerts falling into the concept of Bridge Alert Management (BAM) (see MSC.302(87) [8] and
IEC 62923-1 [3]). BAM applies to all alerts presented on, or transferred to, the bridge of a vessel (the concept can also
be applied in other areas). The visual and audible announcements of BAM alerts are always handled on the EUT, and,
within limitations, additionally on the CAM system. The latter of which is not covered in the present document (see
IEC 62923-1 [3] and IEC 62923-2 [7]).
The BAM concept provides amongst others human machine interface requirements and provides a standardized method
to disseminate the information to the CAM system, thus requiring the support of the alert signalling interface and
protocol as defined in IEC 61162-1 [4] and IEC 62923-1 [3].
BAM alerts are distinct from matters such as DSC aural alarms. For the purpose of the present document the audible
presentation and handling of DSC aurals defined in Recommendation ITU-R M.493-15 [1] and ETSI EN 300 338-2 [2]
includes:
• audible signals. An audible signal is intended to recognize the existence and priority of a BAM alert and to
identify the equipment where an audible BAM alert can be handled. In the present document some audible
signals are directly based on DSC aurals, see Annex A and Table A.1;
• sound in the time allotted for speech output. Speech output is intended to recognize the specific BAM alert.
Some DSC aurals are allowed or required for this purpose, see Annex A and Table A.1; and
• audible indications (see also IEC 62923-1 [3]). Most DSC aurals are audible indications for the purpose of the
present document. The audible indications that occur together with a caution are listed in Annex A and
Table A.1.

oSIST prEN 300 338-7 V1.0.0:2021
10 Draft ETSI EN 300 338-7 V1.0.0 (2021-07)
Audible indications indicating DSC aural alarms or other situations may be applied in the EUT for functionality that
does not warrant a BAM alert, for example a tone for pressing the dedicated distress button, or for situations that do not
warrant an audible BAM alert, for example when the corresponding BAM alerts raised are only characterized as a
caution (thus without audible signal). Situations where ITU has defined sounds that need to be detached from alert
management altogether are therefore not defined in the present document.
