Why should you use BS EN 61023 - Performance requirements, methods of testing for marine speed and distance measuring equipment?
Marine speed and distance measuring equipment (SDME) is a device to measure and indicate speed and distance are intended for general navigational and ship manoeuvring use. With modern day facilities and automation, a ship today has several advanced navigation equipment systems which give accurate data for the voyage.
BS EN 61023 provides requirements for design and construction that can be followed while manufacturing of voyage data recorder. This will ensure that your product complies with the International Maritime Organization regulatory standards. BS EN 61023 provides requirements for installation of (SDME) that helps in maintaining accuracy during the installation process. BS EN 61023 provides technical characteristics and testing methods for (SDME). This will ensure that the (SDME) performs as per the requirements that ensures safe navigation.
