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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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.

1 Scope
This part of IEC 61108 specifies the minimum operational and performance requirements,
methods of testing and required test results conforming to performance standards not inferior
to those adopted by the IMO in resolution MSC.114(73). In addition, it takes account of IMO
resolution A.694(17) and is associated with IEC 60945. When a requirement of this standard
is different from IEC 60945, the requirement in this standard shall take precedence.
This standard may be satisfied by equipment integral with GNSS equipment.
This standard is applicable to HSC.
All text of this standard, whose wording is identical to that in IMO resolution MSC.114(73) and
ITU-R M.823 is printed in italics and the resolution (abbreviated to – 114 and M.823
respectively ) and paragraph numbers are indicated in brackets i.e. (114/3.3 or M.823/3.3 ).

Differential services broadcast information for augmenting Global Positioning System (GPS)
and the Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) to provide the accuracy and integrity
required for entrances and harbour approaches and other waters in which the freedom to
manoeuvre is limited. Various service providers are broadcasting differential information
applicable to localised areas. Different services provide information for augmenting GPS,
GLONASS, or both.(114/1.1)

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------

– 8 – 61108-4 © IEC:2004(E)
Receiver equipment for the reception and proper de-modulating / decoding of differential GPS

addition to the general requirements contained in resolution A.694(17), comply with the
following minimum performance requirements.(114/1.2) As noted in Clause 1 – Scope: This
standard is applicable to HSC.
This standard covers the basic requirements of maritime radio beacon receiver equipment
providing augmentation information to position-fixing equipment, including health messages.
It does not cover other computational facilities which may be in the equipment.(114/1.3)
Additional functionality (e.g. use of differential corrections and integrity, from multiple beacon
reference stations, Eurofix, LORAN-COMM, VTS, FM subcarrier, commercial satellite, WAAS,
