This International Standard specifies minimum requirements for emission, immunity and perform-ance criteria regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of electrical and electronic equipment for ships. It assists in meeting the requirements of IMO resolution A.813 (see annex A).
Equipment which is tested and installed in accordance with this standard meets the relevant IMO requirements.
NOTE 1 The normative part of this standard has been prepared as a product family EMC standard.
NOTE 2 Effects on human beings are not the subject of this standard.
This standard further gives guidelines and recommendations on the measures to achieve EMC in the electrical and electronic installations of equipment groups:
a) group A: radio communication and navigation equipment;
b) group B: power generation and conversion equipment;
c) group C: equipment operating with pulsed power;
d) group D: switchgear and control systems;
e) group E: intercommunication and signal processing equipment;
f) group F: non-electrical items and equipment;
g) group G: integrated systems.
The basic EMC standard for groups A and C is IEC 60945.
NOTE This standard does not specify unsafe operation and basic safety requirements such as protection against electric shock and dielectric tests for equipment.
