IEC 61174:2008 Maritime navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems - Electronic chart display and information system (ECDIS) - Operational and performance requirements, methods of testing and required test results
This International Standard specifies the performance requirements, methods of testing and
required test results of equipment conforming to performance standards not inferior to those
adopted by the IMO in resolution MSC.232(82).
This standard is based upon the performance standards of IMO resolution MSC.232(82), and
is also associated with IMO resolution A.694(17) and IEC 60945. Reference is made, where
appropriate, to IMO resolution MSC.232(82), and all subclauses whose wording is identical to
that in the resolution are printed in italics.
In association with the above IMO resolution MSC.232(82), are the International Hydrographic
Organization (IHO) special publications S-32, S-52, S-57, S-61, S-63 and S-64. This standard
has included extracts from the above publications where they are applicable to this
equipment. Where reference is made, all subclauses whose wording is identical to that in the
publications, are printed in italics.
(232/A2.1) These performance standards should apply to all ECDIS equipment carried on all
ships as follows:
- dedicated standalone workstation.
- a multifunction workstation as part of an INS.
(232/A2.2) These performance standards apply to ECDIS mode of operation, ECDIS in RCDS
mode of operation as specified in Annex G and ECDIS backup arrangements as specified in
Annex F.
(232/A2.3) Requirements for structure and format of the chart data, encryption of chart data
as well as the presentation of chart data are within the scope of relevant IHO standards, including those
listed in the normative references.
The requirements of this standard are not intended to prevent the use of new techniques in
equipment and systems, provided the facilities offered are not inferior to those stated.
