Maritime navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems. Shipborne voyage data recorder (VDR) – Performance requirements, methods of testing and required test results
| Published By | Publication Date | Number of Pages |
| BSI | 2014 | 86 |
This part of IEC 61996 specifies the minimum performance requirements, technical characteristics, methods of testing and required test results, for shipborne voyage data recorder (VDR) installations as required by Chapter V of the International Convention for Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), as amended. It takes account of IMO resolution A.694(17) and is associated with IEC 60945. When a requirement in this standard is different from IEC 60945, the requirement in this standard takes precedence.
This standard incorporates the applicable parts of the performance standards included in IMO Resolution MSC.333(90).
NOTE All text of this standard, whose wording is identical to that of IMO Resolution MSC.333(90), is printed in italics, and the Resolution and associated performance standard paragraph numbers are indicated in brackets.
