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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication. 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.

General requirements, methods of testing and required test results
1 Scope This International Standard specifies the general requirements, methods of testing, and required test results, for the presentation of navigation-related information on shipborne navigational displays in support of IMO resolution MSC.191(79).
(MSC191/1) IMO resolution MSC.191(79) harmonizes the requirements for the presentation of navigation-related information on the bridge of a ship to ensure that all navigational displays adopt a consistent human machine interface philosophy and implementation. (MSC191/1) IMO resolution MSC.191(79) supplements and, in the case of a conflict, takes priority over, the presentation requirements of the individual performance standards adopted by the IMO for relevant navigational systems and equipment and covers the presentation of navigation-related information by equipment for which Performance Standards have not been adopted by the IMO.
This standard also addresses the guidelines for the presentation of navigation-related symbols, terms and abbreviations in Safety of Navigation circular SN/Circ.243 together with some requirements published in resolution MSC.192(79) on radar; resolution MSC.232(82) on ECDIS; and ergonomic criteria published in circular MSC/Circ.982. The symbols from SN/Circ.243 are reproduced and expanded upon in Annex A. The terms and abbreviations from SN/Circ.243 are reproduced and expanded upon in Annex B. Additional guidance on display and dialogue design from MSC/Circ.982 is listed by reference in Annex C.
Some requirements set forth in MSC.191(79) duplicate requirements set forth in other IMO documents (for example, Resolutions A.694(17), MSC.192(79), MSC.232(82), etc.) or in the IEC standards further specifying the methods of test and required test results for those requirements (for example, IEC 60945, IEC 61174, IEC 62388, etc.). Where a requirement in this standard duplicates a requirement in another standard, the method(s) of test for that requirement may refer to the other standard.
NOTE Manufactures may offer relevant test data from compliance tests to other standards such as IEC 60945, IEC 61174, IEC 62388, etc. as evidence of compliance with appropriate tests of this standard. This standard is organized so that each group of requirements is immediately followed by a clause identifying the method(s) of test. The methods of test are derived from ISO 9241-12 on the presentation of information on visual displays. Guidance on testing is provided in Annex D.
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.). SIST EN 62288:2008

62288 © IEC:2008(E) – 9 – 1.1 Purpose
(MSC191/2) This standard specifies the presentation of navigational information on the bridge of a ship, including the consistent use of navigational terms, abbreviations, colours and symbols, as well as other presentation characteristics.
(MSC191/2) This standard also addresses the presentation of information related to specific navigational tasks by recognising user selected presentations in addition to presentations required by the relevant individual performance standards adopted by the IMO.
1.2 Application
(MSC191/3) This standard is applicable to any display equipment associated with the navigational systems and equipment for which individual performance standards have been adopted by the IMO. It addresses the stand-alone displays for radar and ECDIS, the multifunction displays used in IBS and INS and composite presentations that integrate information derived from two or more systems. This standard also addresses display equipment associated with navigational systems and equipment for which individual performance standards have not been adopted by the IMO.
NOTE Some IEC standards may individually include display requirements in conformity with IMO resolution MSC.191(79). (MSC191/3) The general principles and the physical characteristics specified in Clauses 4 and 7, respectively, of this standard are applicable to all displays on the bridge of a ship.
