Maritime navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems. Shipborne voyage data recorder (VDR). Performance requirements, methods of testing and required test results | Status: Current, Superseded

1 Scope This part of IEC 61996 specifies the minimum performance requirements, technical characteristics, methods of testing and required test results, for shipborne voyage datarecorder (VDR) installations as required by Chapter V of the International Convention for Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), as amended. It takes account of IMOresolution 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 IMOResolution MSC.333(90).

NOTE All text of this standard, whose wording is identical to that of IMOResolution MSC.333(90), is printed in italics, and the Resolution and associated performance standard paragraph numbers are indicated in brackets.
