Maritime navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems - Marine speed and distance measuring equipment (SDME) - Performance requirements, methods of testing and required test results
This International Standard specifies the minimum performance requirements, methods of testing and required test results of devices to indicate speed and distance – speed and distance measuring equipment (SDME) required by Regulation 19 of Chapter V of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), 1974, as amended, and which is associated with IEC 60945. This standard is based upon the requirements of IMO Resolution MSC.96(72). The clause numbering of that resolution is indicated in parentheses in Clause 4 and all subclauses whose meaning is identical to that in the resolution are printed in italics. In the tests of Clause 5, the corresponding requirement of Clause 4 is indicated in parentheses. The cross-references between the IMO performance standards in Resolution MSC.96(72) and the tests of this standard are summarized in Annex A.
