Maritime navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems. Automatic Identification Systems (AIS). Class A shipborne equipment of the automatic identification system (AIS). Operational and performance requirements, methods of test and required test results | Status: Superseded, Withdrawn

1 Scope This part of IEC 61993 specifies the minimum operational and performance requirements, methods of testing and required test results conforming to performance standards adopted by the IMO in Resolution MSC.74(69), Annex 3, Shipborne Automatic Identification System. This standard incorporates the applicable technical characteristics of Class A shipborne equipment included in Recommendation ITU-R M.1371-4 and takes into account the ITU Radio Regulations, where applicable. In addition, it takes account of IMO Resolution A.694(17) to which IEC 60945 is associated. When a requirement in this standard is different from IEC 60945, the requirement of this standard takes precedence. This part of IEC 61993 also specifies the minimum requirements both for the means to input and display data and for the interfaces to other equipment suitable to be used as means of input and display data.

NOTE All text of this standard, that is identical to that in IMO resolution MSC.74(69), Annex 3 or to that in ITU-R Recommendation M.1371-4 is printed in italics and references to the resolution (abbreviated to "A3") or the recommendation (abbreviated to "M.1371") and paragraph numbers are indicated in parentheses, for instance (A3/3.3) or (M.1371/A2-3.3) respectively.
