MARITIME NAVIGATION AND RADIOCOMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT AND
SYSTEMS – PRESENTATION OF NAVIGATION-RELATED INFORMATION
ON SHIPBORNE NAVIGATIONAL DISPLAYS – GENERAL REQUIREMENTS,
METHODS OF TESTING AND REQUIRED TEST RESULTS

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62288 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 80: Maritime
navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems.
This standard supports the performance standards for the presentation of navigation-related
information on shipborne navigational displays, adopted by the IMO in resolution
MSC.191(79) in December 2004.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2008 and constitutes a
technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
• References to IBS have been removed as IMO has revoked MSC.64(67) Annex 1:1996,
Performance standards for integrated bridge systems (IBS).

– 8 – IEC 62288:2014 © IEC 2014
• Subclause 4.9 (Alerts and indicators) has been revised to align the requirements with the
IMO resolutions MSC.252(83), MSC.302(87) and A.1021(26) published since
MSC.191(79), together with a new Annex F for alert related icons.
• Clause 5 (Presentation of operational information) has been revised with a new
requirement added for merging AIS targets from multiple sources.
• Test methods have been reviewed and further guidance on testing added to Annex D. A
new normative Annex G has been added for testing of colours, intensity and flicker.
• Annex A (Presentation of colours and symbols) has been revised with AIS AtoN symbols,
AIS-SART symbol and wheel over position symbol redefined, and new symbols added for
AIS SAR aircraft, AIS SAR vessel, MSI and AIS application specific messages.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
80/733/FDIS 80/738/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
NOTE All text in this standard whose wording is identical to text contained in an IMO document is printed in
italics. Reference to the document is noted at the beginning of the paragraph. The notation contains a prefix
referring to the document and a suffix with the paragraph number from the document (for example, (MSC191/1);
(SN243/1), etc.).
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date.

IMPORTANT – The 'colour inside' logo on the cover page of this publication indicates
that it contains colours which are considered to be useful for the correct
understanding of its contents. Users should therefore print this document using a
colour printer.
