SIST EN 62940:2017

Maritime navigation and radiocommunication equipment equipment and systems - Integrated communication system (ICS) - Operational and performance requirements, methods of testing and required test results (IEC 62940:2016)

IEC 62940 specifies the minimum operational and performance requirements, technical
characteristics and methods of testing, and required test results, for shipborne integrated
communication systems (ICS) designed to perform ship external communication and distress
and safety communications (GMDSS) and the functions of onboard routeing of this
communication. It takes account of IMO Resolution A.694(17) and is associated with
IEC 60945. When a requirement in this document is different from IEC 60945, the requirement
in this document takes precedence.

Matériels et systèmes de navigation et de radiocommunication maritimes - Système intégré de communication (ICS) - Exigences opérationnelles et de performance, méthodes d’essai et résultats d’essai exigés

L’IEC 62940:2016 spécifie les exigences minimales de fonctionnement et de performance, les caractéristiques techniques, les méthodes d’essai et les résultats exigés pour les systèmes de communication intégrés (ICS) embarqués, conçus pour assurer la communication externe des navires et les communications de détresse et de sécurité (SMDSM) et exécuter les fonctions de routage à bord de ces communications. Elle tient compte de la Résolution OMI A.694(17) et est associée à l’IEC 60945. Lorsqu’une exigence du présent document est différente de l’IEC 60945, l’exigence du présent document est prioritaire.

Pomorska navigacijska in radiokomunikacijska oprema in sistemi - Integrirani komunikacijski sistemi (ICS) - Zahteve za delovanje in lastnosti, preskusne metode in zahtevani rezultati preskušanja (IEC 62940:2016)

Standard IEC 62940 določa zahteve za delovanje in lastnosti, preskusne metode in zahtevane rezultate preskušanja integriranih komunikacijskih sistemov (ICS), ki so zasnovani za zunanjo komunikacijo med ladjami, varnostno komunikacijo in komunikacijo v sili (GMDSS) ter usmerjanje teh komunikacij na krovu plovila. Standard upošteva sklep A.694(17) Mednarodne pomorske organizacije in se navezuje na standard IEC 60945. Če se zahteva iz tega dokumenta razlikuje od zahteve iz standarda IEC 60945, se uporablja zahteva iz tega dokumenta.

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 62940 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 80: Maritime
navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

INTRODUCTION
IEC 62940 incorporates the applicable parts of the performance standards included in
IMO Resolution A.811(19) for an integrated radiocommunication system. It also incorporates
the applicable requirements for the presentation of information included in
IMO Resolution MSC.191(79) which is associated with IEC 62288, applicable requirements for
bridge alert management included in IMO Resolution MSC.302(87) based on, and in
compliance with applicable requirements for Ethernet interconnection in IEC 61162-450.
The ICS is a system in which individual radiocommunication equipment and installations are
used as subsystems, i.e. without the need for their own control units, providing outputs to and
accepting inputs from a communications human machine interface (COM-HMI). Each
subsystem is in compliance w
