This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2013-07-31. CENELEC members are bound to comply
with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard
the status of a national standard without any alteration.

Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on
application to the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre or to any CENELEC member.

This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and notified
to the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre has the same status as the official versions.

CENELEC members are the national electrotechnical committees of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus,
the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany,
Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland,

Foreword
The text of document 80/696/FDIS, future edition 2 of IEC 62388, prepared by IEC TC 80 “Maritime
navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems” was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC
parallel vote and approved by CENELEC as EN 62388:2013.
The following dates are fixed:
– latest date by which the document has to be implemented at (dop) 2014-04-30
national level by publication of an identical national
standard or by endorsement
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting with (dow) 2016-07-31
the document have to be withdrawn
This document supersedes EN 62388:2008.
 In 6.2 (Transmission and interference) reference is now made to a revised Annex B (Unwanted
emissions) where the mask has been tightened from 20 dB/decade to 30 dB/decade in line with
ITU requirements and a new informative Annex J has been added concerning interference from
emissions in adjacent frequency bands;
 Clause 7 (Display presentation) has been simplified (and the previous Annexes J and K deleted)
with reference made instead to EN 62288 with associated changes throughout the standard;
 In 9.9.2 (PI lines and positioning) the requirements for parallel index lines have been revised;
 In 10.4.4 (Display orientation) a new mode of display orientation “head-up stabilised” has been
added;
 In 11.5 (Automatic Identification System) new requirements and tests have been added for types
of AIS targets, AIS repeater stations and filtering of AIS targets;
 In Clause 12 (Chart radar) a new subclause 12.3 has been added for ECDIS backup
requirements;
 In Clause 13 (Ergonomic criteria) a new subclause 13.5 has been added giving requirements for
default control settings;
 14.3 (Output interfacing) has been revised together with the associated Annex H to update the
requirements particularly with regard to interfaces to the VDR;
 Clause 16 (Alerts and failures) has been revised to update the requirements to align with bridge
alert management and new requirements added for an alert management interface with
associated changes throughout the standard;
 In Clause 18 (Equipment familiarisation and documentation) a new subclause 18.3 has been
added for maintenance information and equipment update.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CENELEC [and/or CEN] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such
patent rights.
