Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use
of (a) patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed
patent rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received
notice of (a) patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are
cautioned that this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent
database available at www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all
such patent rights.
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to
the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 8, Ships and marine technology,
Subcommittee SC 6, Navigation and ship operations.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 22554:2015), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— the normative references have been updated;
— in 4.3 h), a requirement regarding digital-type indication on shipborne navigational displays, in
accordance with IMO Resolution MSC.191(79), as amended by MSC.466(101), has been added;
— in new 4.4 and 6.12, a provision on alerts and a reference to IEC 62923-1 and IEC 62923-2 have been
added;
— in 6.2, a requirement regarding methods of testing and required test results in accordance with
IEC 62288 has been added;
— in Clause 7, interface requirements have been added.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 22554:2023(E)
Ships and marine technology — Propeller shaft revolution
indicators — Electric type and electronic type
1 Scope
This document specifies the construction, performance requirements, methods of testing, and required
test results for electric and electronic propeller shaft revolution indicators (hereinafter referred
to as “indicator system”). The requirements in this document are based on those contained in the
International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) 1974 (as amended, 2000), Clause 2.5.4,
Regulation 19, chapter V.
This document is intended to be used in conjunction with IMO Resolution A.694 (17) and IEC 60945.
NOTE A propeller shaft revolution indicator can be designed so that it also complies with the requirements
for a tachometer for the engine of a ship.

3.1
propeller shaft revolution indicator
remote device capable of indicating the number of revolutions per minute only, or the number of
revolutions per minute and the direction of the revolution
Note 1 to entry: Indicating the direction of the revolution is not relevant for propeller shafts that are intended to
turn in one direction only.
3.2
electric propeller shaft revolution indicator
electric-type indicator that employs a generator driven by the propeller shaft through the driving unit
that transmits the revolution speed (number of revolutions per minute) and direction of rotation of the
propeller shaft
3.3
electronic propeller shaft revolution indicator
electronic-type indicator that employs a revolution sensor that detects pulses generated by a gear
turning the propeller shaft or a circular disc with a slit and transmits these pulses to a signal converte
