Maritime navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems - Data interfaces - Part 1: S-421 route plan based on S-100
IEC 63173-1:2021 specifies an S-100 compliant product specification for route plan intended for exchange of information. It specifies the content, structure, and metadata needed for creating fully S-100 compliant route plan information and its portrayal within an S-100-based application. The IHO manages all numbers for S-100 compliant product specifications and has assigned S-421 for this route plan IEC standard.
This document specifies only a data format for the route plan exchange. This document does not specify a data format of vessel monitoring and logging information. This information can be provided by other mechanisms or be specified in other standards.
The format of the route plan exchange includes some limited vessel static information. When more static information is required, it can be obtained by other methods such as AIS.
Matériels et systèmes de navigation et de radiocommunication maritimes - Interface de données - Partie 1: Plan de route S-421 basé sur la S-100
L’IEC 63173-1:2021 énonce une spécification de produit conforme à la S-100 pour un plan de route destiné à l’échange d’informations. Elle précise le contenu, la structure et les métadonnées nécessaires pour créer des informations de plan de route entièrement conformes à la S-100 et les présenter dans une application basée sur cette même spécification. L’OHI gère les références des spécifications de produit conformes à la S-100 et a attribué la référence S-421 à la présente norme IEC de plan de route.
Le présent document spécifie uniquement un format de données pour l’échange de plans de route. Il ne spécifie pas de format de données pour les informations de surveillance et de journalisation des navires. Ces informations peuvent être fournies par d’autres mécanismes ou être spécifiées dans d’autres normes.
Le format d’échange de plans de route comprend des informations statiques limitées concernant les navires. Lorsque des informations plus statiques sont exigées, elles peuvent être obtenues par d’autres méthodes telles que le système d’identification automatique (AIS, automatic identification system).

Overview
IEC 63173-1:2021 defines an S-100‑compliant product specification (IHO ID S‑421) for exchanging maritime route plan information. The standard specifies the content, structure and metadata required to create fully S‑100‑compliant route plan datasets and how those datasets are portrayed in S‑100‑based applications. It is focused on the data format for route plan exchange (including limited vessel static details) and does not specify vessel monitoring or logging formats (these can be provided via AIS or other standards/mechanisms). The IHO manages the S‑100 product specification numbers and has assigned S‑421 to this route plan specification.
Key technical topics and requirements
- S‑100 product specification: Defines an S‑100 aligned application schema and feature catalogue for route plans (S‑421).
- Data content & structure: Application schema, geometry, coordinate reference systems and dataset identification rules.
- Feature and information types: Route, RouteWaypoints, RouteActionPoints, RouteSchedules, RouteInfo and associated attributes and bindings.
- Portrayal & metadata: Portrayal catalogue definitions, portrayal rules and required metadata for S‑100 exchange sets.
- Delivery formats: Support for single XML files, compressed containers and S‑100‑compliant exchange sets; provisions for digital signatures, encryption and exchange catalogues.
- Maintenance & lifecycle: Feature/portrayal catalogue management, data source and production process guidance.
- Testing & conformance: Test methods, expected results and test datasets (minimum to full generic test data).
- Annexed use cases: Normative examples such as route cross‑checks, flow management, enhanced monitoring, ice navigation, under‑keel clearance, fleet route planning, route optimization and port call synchronization.
Practical applications and users
Who uses IEC 63173-1 / S‑421:
- ECDIS and navigation system vendors implementing S‑100 data interfaces
- Shipboard and shore-based voyage planning and fleet management software developers
- Hydrographic offices and chart producers creating route plan datasets
- Port authorities, pilotage services and VTS providers exchanging route plans
- System integrators and maritime authorities implementing interoperable route exchange
Typical uses:
- Exchanging planned voyage routes between ship and shore
- Synchronizing port calls and fleet schedules
- Enabling route optimization, under‑keel clearance checks and ice navigation planning
- Integrating route portrayal into S‑100‑based displays and decision‑support tools
Related standards
- IHO S‑100 framework (basis for S‑421)
- IHO S‑421 (S‑100 product specification identifier)
- AIS and vessel monitoring standards (for complementary static/dynamic vessel data)

記事のタイトル：IEC 63173-1:2021 - 海上航行および無線通信設備とシステム - データインタフェース - Part 1: S-100に基づくS-421ルートプラン 記事の内容：IEC 63173-1:2021は、情報交換を目的としたS-100準拠のルートプラン製品仕様を定めています。この規格では、完全にS-100準拠のルートプラン情報を作成し、S-100ベースのアプリケーション内での描写に必要なコンテンツ、構造、メタデータを定めています。国際水路機関(IHO)は、S-100準拠の製品仕様に割り当てられる番号を管理しており、このルートプランIEC標準にはS-421が割り当てられています。 この文書では、ルートプランのデータ形式のみが規定されており、船舶のモニタリングやログ情報のデータ形式は指定されていません。この情報は他の手段で提供されるか、他の規格で指定される場合があります。 ルートプラン交換の形式には、制限された船舶の静的情報が含まれています。より詳細な静的情報が必要な場合は、AISなどの他の手法を使用して取得することができます。
The article discusses the IEC 63173-1:2021 standard, which establishes a product specification for route plans used in maritime navigation and radiocommunication systems. The standard defines the content, structure, and metadata necessary for creating route plans that comply with the S-100 standard and can be used in S-100-based applications. The International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) is responsible for managing the numbers assigned to S-100 compliant product specifications, and they have assigned S-421 to this specific route plan standard. It is important to note that this document only specifies the data format for exchanging route plans and does not cover the data format for vessel monitoring and logging information. Such information can be provided through other means or specified in different standards. Additionally, the route plan exchange format includes limited vessel static information, and more static information can be obtained using alternative methods like AIS.
기사 제목: IEC 63173-1:2021 - 해상 항법 및 무선 통신 장비 및 시스템 - 데이터 인터페이스 - 제1부: S-100 기반 S-421 루트 플랜 기사 내용: IEC 63173-1:2021은 정보 교환을 위한 S-100 호환 루트 플랜 제품 명세를 규정한다. 이 문서는 완전히 S-100 호환 된 루트 플랜 정보 및 S-100 기반 응용 프로그램 내에서의 표현을 위해 필요한 내용, 구조, 메타데이터를 명시한다. IHO는 S-100 호환 제품 명세에 대한 번호를 관리하며, 이 루트 플랜 IEC 표준에는 S-421 번호를 지정하였다. 이 문서는 루트 플랜 교환을 위한 데이터 형식만을 명시한다. 이 문서는 선박 모니터링 및 로깅 정보의 데이터 형식을 명시하지 않는다. 이 정보는 다른 메커니즘을 통해 제공되거나 다른 표준에서 지정될 수 있다. 루트 플랜 교환 형식에는 제한된 선박 정적 정보가 포함된다. 더 많은 정적 정보가 필요한 경우 AIS와 같은 다른 방법을 통해 얻을 수 있다.
