(MAN OVERBOARD DEVICES) – MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS,
METHODS OF TESTING AND REQUIRED TEST RESULTS

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.
IEC 63269 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 80: Maritime navigation and
radiocommunication equipment and systems. It is an International Standard.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:

OVERBOARD DEVICES) – MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS, METHODS OF
TESTING AND REQUIRED TEST RESULTS

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.

125 c) capable of manual activation and deactivation.
126 4.1.2 Controls
127 (See 4.10.2.1.2)
128 To avoid inadvertent activation, the equipment shall be activated by the use of two simple, but
129 independent mechanical actions, neither of which on its own shall activate the equipment. The
130 second mechanical action may be replaced by an immersion sensor. Where the second action
131 is replaced by an immersion sensor then the first action shall ensure the equipment is armed
132 for automatic activation when submerged.
133 After activation it shall be simple to deactivate the equipment and the means to deactivate the
134 equipment shall be clearly marked. Means shall be provided to avoid inadvertent deactivation.
135 NOTE Means for preventing inadvertent deactivation can be for example prolonged push of deactivation button,
136 pressing two buttons simultaneously or a procedure requiring two steps.
137 All controls necessary for the correct operation of the equipment shall be so designed that
138 personnel wearing appropriately sized neoprene gloves having a thickness of minimum 5 mm
139 can activate or deactivate the equipment.
140 The switch that operates any self-test function shall be so designed that it returns automatically
141 when released. Activation of the self-test function shall reset automatically after completion of
142 the test including any required transmission.
143 4.1.3 Indicators
144 (See 4.10.2.1.3)
145 The MOB device shall be equipped with a means which is either visual or audible, or both visual
146 and audible, to indicate its operational status.
147 The equipment shall be provided with a visual and/or audible indication that equipment is
148 activated and that signals are being emitted. The indicator should be sufficiently bright to be
149 seen by the user in bright daylight.
150 NOTE Bright daylight in this context is considered to be clear sky with the indicator of the MOB device observed
151 in direction away from the sun. Shadowing the indicator from the direct light from sun, for example by hand, is
152 expected.
153 Any audible indicator should have a distinctive alarm tone with a minimum sound output of
154 85 dBA when measured 10 cm from the equipment.
155 The indicator(s) shall clearly distinguish between AIS and DSC transmissions and the following
156 states:
157 when active:
158 a) the equipment has been activated;
159 b) the equipment is transmitting without GNSS data;
160 c) the equipment is transmitting with GNSS data;
161 d) equipment has received a DSC acknowledgement and the DSC transmitter has been
162 deactivated remotely;
163 e) the equipment is inactive.
164
165 when self-testing:
166 f) the equipment is undergoing self-test and is transmitting in self-test mode;

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
oSIST prEN IEC 63269:2021
– 10 – IEC CDV 63269  IEC 2021
167 g) the equipment indicates correct reception of the DSC acknowledgement in self-test mode;
168 h) the equipment has completed a self-test or has been deactivated manually;
169 i) the equipment cannot complete a DSC test because it has not been programmed with a
170 destination MMSI;
171 j) the equipment cannot complete a test because it could not obtain a GNSS position.
172 4.1.4 Water activation function
173 (See 4.10.2.1.4, 4.10.2.1.5)
174 If provided, the water activation function shall be protected against inadvertent activation from
175 salt-water spray or rain. The act of dropping the equipment into water, as part of the drop test
176 in IEC 60945, shall not cause the equipment to activate when the equipment has not been
177 armed.
178 4.1.5 Self-test
179 (See 4.10.2.1.6)
180 The equipment shall include a functional self-test that is functional throughout the operating
181 temperature range. Testing of AIS, GNSS and DSC functionality may be combined in one test
182 or as individual test modes.
183 The equipment shall have self-test pass/fail indicator(s) which shall correctly identify any failure
184 conditions that have been detected by any of the self-test functions. The self-test pass/fail
185 indicator shall also clearly indicate that there is insufficient battery capacity to meet the stated
186 operational lifetime. It shall not be possible for the user to reset this indication.
187 During self-test only recognized test messages as defined in the appropriate ITU-R
188 recommendations shall be transmitted.
189 The means of activating the self-test feature should prevent the test signal from being
190 continuously activated.
