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.

This consolidated version of IEC 61162-3 consists of the first edition (2008) [documents
80/496/CDV and 80/526/RVC] and its amendment 1 (2010) [documents 80/580/CDV and
80/594/RVC]. It bears the edition number 1.1.
The technical content is therefore identical to the base edition and its amendment and
has been prepared for user convenience. A vertical line in the margin shows where the
base publication has been modified by amendment 1. Additions and deletions are
displayed in red, with deletions being struck through.

INTRODUCTION
This part of IEC 61162 has been developed by the IEC technical committee 80 working
group 6, to meet the requirement for a versatile and economic means of connecting a wide
range of marine navigation and radiocommunications equipment aboard SOLAS vessels. The
National Marine Electronics Association’s Standard Committee has developed the NMEA
1 2
2000â standard. The NMEA 2000 Standard provides for capabilities across all classes of
vessels. The development of NMEA 2000 began in 1994 and was completed in 1999. More
than a dozen manufacturers worldwide conducted a two-year beta test. The finalised NMEA
2000 standard version 1.000 was published in 2001. IEC and NMEA have worked together
since 1999 to ensure that the NMEA 2000 standard fully supports SOLAS applications. NMEA
2000 version 1.200 was published in 2004, with expanded support for redundant messaging
and for equipments such as AIS.
The need for an improved standard, compared with IEC 61162-1 and IEC 61162-2, has arisen
due to the increased complexity of the latest equipment and systems. This requires multiple
links between equipment and greatly improved communication speed.
The parts 400 of the IEC 61162 series have already been issued and cater for the most
complex systems to be found on board a ship.
This new part 3 of IEC 61162 adopts the controller area network (CAN) technology, already
well established for many industrial systems. This permits a versatile system to be
established with the minimum of effort and reasonable cost. The equipment types supported
and the sentence data content developed for IEC 61162-1 has been retained.
IEC 61162-3 describes a low cost, moderate capacity, bi-directional multi-transmitter/multi-
receiver instrument network to interconnect marine electronic equipment. The connectors and
TM
cables used are compatible with industrial bus systems for instance DeviceNet and
TM
Profibus .
IEC 61162-3 provides for the application of NMEA 2000 aboard SOLAS vessels. Exceptions,
additions and specific requirements for implementation upon SOLAS vessels are contained in
this document.
INTRODUCTION
(to Amendment 1)
The amendment updates the normative reference for NMEA 2000 Appendix B to a later
version which includes five new sentences: PGN # 129807 - AIS Class B Group Assignment,
PGN # 129809 - AIS Class B "CS" Static Report Part A, PGN # 129810 - AIS Class B, PGN #
129039 - AIS Class B Position Report, and PGN # 129040 - AIS Class B Extended Position
Report.

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.
This consolidated version of the official IEC Standard and its amendment has been
prepared for user convenience.
IEC 61162-3 edition 1.1 contains the first edition (2008-05) [documents 80/496/CDV and
80/526/RVC] and its amendment 1 (2010-06) [documents 80/580/CDV and 80/594/RVC].
