Global maritime distress and safety system (GMDSS) - Part 9: Shipborne transmitters and receivers for use in the MF and HF bands suitable for telephony, digital selective calling (DSC) and reception of Maritime Safety Information and Search and Rescue related information - Operational and performance requirements, methods of testing and required test results
Abstract
This part of IEC 61097 specifies the minimum operational and performance requirements and methods of testing with required test results for transmitters and receivers capable of voice communication and digital selective calling for the GMDSS operating in either the medium frequency band only or in medium and high frequency bands allocated in the ITU Radio Regulations to the Maritime Mobile Service, as required by Chapter IV of SOLAS 1974 as amended. It is based on IMO resolution MSC.512(105) and takes account of Recommendation ITU-R M.493 for digital selective calling including the automatic connection system. It also takes account of the general requirements given in IMO resolution A.694(17) and is associated with IEC 60945. When a requirement in this standard is different from IEC 60945, the requirement of this standard shall take precedence. It further takes account, as appropriate, of requirements for the presentation of navigation-related information on shipborne navigational displays given in IMO resolution MSC.191(79) as amended and is associated with IEC 62288, and the requirements of IMO resolution MSC.302(87) for Bridge Alert Management and is associated with IEC 62923-1 and IEC 62923-2. This document also specifies the reception of maritime safety information and search and rescue related information by HF based on IMO resolution MSC.508(105).
