Overview

EN 62320-1:2015 (identical to IEC 62320-1:2015) defines the minimum operational and performance requirements, test methods and required test results for AIS Base Stations. It applies to non‑shipborne, fixed AIS equipment (shore/base stations) and aligns with IMO Resolution MSC.74(69) Universal AIS, ITU‑R M.1371 and IALA Recommendation A‑124. The standard covers the radio and presentation interfaces, TDMA radio behaviour, functional operation modes, and laboratory test methods - but does not specify shore display requirements.

Keywords: EN 62320-1:2015, AIS Base Stations, IEC 62320-1, automatic identification system, maritime VHF, TDMA.

Key Topics and Technical Requirements

  • Physical and radio interface definitions for AIS Base Stations: VHF TDMA transmitter/receiver requirements, frequency and power behaviour, and shutdown procedures.
  • Functional operation modes: dependent and independent base station behaviours, autonomous channel management, RATDMA and slot selection logic.
  • Message and data handling: incorporation of ITU‑R M.1371 message types; additions in this edition include Message 24A, Message 25, Message 26 (scheduled broadcast) and Message 27 control.
  • Protocol/format updates: BCE/BCF/CAB sentence types replaced by BCG, BCL and RST; comment blocks replaced by TAG blocks for presentation interface encapsulation.
  • Performance harmonization: transmitter intermodulation attenuation aligned with ITU requirements; removal of 12.5 kHz channel operation; addition of a 90% channel load test with VSI and TAG blocks enabled.
  • Testing and required results: standardized test conditions (normal and extreme), TDMA transmitter/receiver tests (sensitivity, adjacent/co‑channel rejection, intermodulation), spurious emission checks, and functional protocol tests.

Keywords: TDMA, TAG blocks, Message 26, intermodulation attenuation, channel load test.

Applications and Who Uses This Standard

  • Manufacturers designing and certifying AIS Base Stations to meet international interoperability and safety standards.
  • Test laboratories and certification bodies performing type approval, conformance and performance tests.
  • Port authorities, coast guards and maritime network operators planning shore AIS coverage and integrating base stations into surveillance systems.
  • System integrators and procurement teams specifying technical requirements for AIS shore infrastructure.
  • Regulators and surveyors ensuring installations comply with IMO/ITU/IALA expectations.

Practical benefits include consistent interoperability with shipborne AIS, reliable shore surveillance and predictable spectrum behaviour in the VHF maritime mobile band.

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 62320-1 has been prepared by IEC technical Committee 80: Maritime navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2007 and its Amendment 1:2008. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: • incorporation of the technical characteristics included in Recommendation ITU-R M.1371-5; • the BCE, BCF and CAB sentences replaced with BCG, BCL and RST; SIST EN 62320-1:2015

INTRODUCTION Chapter V of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea 1974 (SOLAS) requires mandatory carriage of Automatic Identification System (AIS) equipment on all vessels constructed on or after 01 July 2002. Carriage for other types and sizes of SOLAS Convention vessels was required to be completed not later than 31 December 2004. SOLAS Chapter V, Regulation 19, states that AIS shall: a) provide automatically to appropriate equipped shore stations, other ships and aircraft information, including ship's identity, type, position, course, speed, navigational status and other safety-related information; b) receive automatically such information from similarly fitted ships; c) monitor and track ships; and d) exchange data with shore-based facilities. In addition, the IMO performance standards for AIS state that: – The AIS should improve the safety of navigation by assisting in the efficient navigation of ships, protection of the environment, and operation of Vessel Traffic Services (VTS), by satisfying the following functional requirements: 1) in a ship-to-ship mode for collision avoidance; 2) as a means for littoral States to obtain information about a ship and its cargo; and 3) as a VTS tool, i.e. ship-to-shore (traffic management). – The AIS should be capable of providing to ships and to competent authorities, information from the ship, automatically and with the required accuracy and frequency, to facilitate accurate tracking. Transmission of the data should be with the minimum involvement of ship's personnel and with a high level of availability. The provision of Shore Based AIS is necessary to attain the full benefit of the SOLAS Convention requirements. This part of IEC 62320 provides the minimum operational and performance requirements, methods of test and the required test results for AIS Base Stations. The testing is divided into three sections, the transceiver tests, the logical tests and the Presentation Interface tests. These are captured in Clauses 8, 9 and 10 respectively. The method used for testing is that the EUT should meet all the tests requirements of Clause 8 before proceeding to Clause 9. Likewise, the unit should meet all of the test requirements before proceeding to Clause 10. Clause 10 has also been prioritised so that the tests are progressive. Clauses 5 to 7 provide functional requirement information and Clause 8 provides the general test environment for the EUT.

Both are under some control of the Physical Shore Station (PSS) as defined in the IALA Recommendation A-124. – dependent Base Station accesses the VHF data link (VDL) using only the combination of linked TSA+VDM sentences (see Table 1), as provided by the PSS. – An independent Base Station accesses the VDL using either the combination of linked TSA+VDM sentences as provided by the PSS or by using internal control. When operated as an independent Base Station the unit may be delegated certain autonomous functionality under the supervisory control of the PSS. The PSS, or external controlling entity, is responsible for Base Station configuration, transmission scheduling, and processing of received information. Presentation Interface (PI) text sentences are used to configure the Base Station, schedule message transmissions, and output information. When TSA a
