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.

1 Scope
This part of IEC 61108 specifies the minimum performance requirements, methods of testing
and required test results for BDS shipborne receiver equipment, based on IMO resolution
MSC.379(93), which uses the signals from the BeiDou navigation satellite system in order to
determine position. It takes account of the general requirements given in IMO resolution
A.694(17) and is associated with IEC 60945. When a requirement in this document is different
from IEC 60945, the requirement in this document takes precedence. This document also takes
account, as appropriate, of requirements for the presentation of navigation-related information
on shipborne navigational displays given in IMO resolution MSC.191(79) and is associated with
IEC 62288 and MSC.302(87) associated with IEC 62923-1.
This receiver standard applies to navigation in the ocean, coastal, harbour entrances, harbour
approaches and restricted waters, as defined in IMO resolution A.915(22) and IMO resolution
A.1046(27).

4.3.3 Accuracy
(See 5.6.4)
4.3.3.1 Static position accuracy
(M.379/A3.5) The BDS receiver equipment shall have static accuracy such that the position of
the antenna is determined to be within 25 m horizontally (95 %) and 30 m vertically (95 %).
NOTE The BDS receiver equipment typically has accuracy better than 10 m (95 %).
4.3.3.2 Dynamic position accuracy
(M.379/A3.6) The BDS receiver equipment shall have dynamic accuracy equivalent to the static
accuracy specified in 4.3.3.1 above under the normal sea states and motion experienced in
ships.
4.3.4 Acquisition
(See 5.6.5)
(M.379/A3.8) The BDS receiver equipment shall be capable of selecting automatically the
appropriate satellite-transmitted signals to determine the ship’s position and velocity, and time
with the required accuracy and update rate.
(M.379/A3.11) The BDS receiver equipment shall be capable of acquiring position, velocity and
time to the required accuracy within 12 min where there is no valid almanac data.
(M.379/A3.12) The BDS receiver equipment shall be capable of acquiring position, velocity and
time to the required accuracy within 1 min where there is valid almanac data.
(M.379/A3.13) The BDS receiver equipment shall be capable of reacquiring position, velocity
and time to the required accuracy within 1 min when there has been a service interruption of
60 s or less.
(M.401/A3.7) The BDS receiver equipment shall be capable of providing the PVT solution to the
required accuracy within:
– 5 min where there is no valid satellite almanac data (cold start);
– 1 min where there is valid satellite almanac data (warm start); and
– 2 min, when subjected to a power interruption or loss of signals of < 60 s;
Acquisition is defined as the processing of BDS satellite signals to obtain a position fix within
the required accuracies.
Three conditions of the BDS receiver equipment are set out under which the minimum
performance requirements shall be met.
Condition A
Initialization (cold start) – The equipment has no valid almanac because it has:
– been transported over large distances (> 1 000 km to < 10 000 km) without power or BDS
signals or by the deletion of the current almanac; or
– not been powered for > 7 days; or
– not received BDS signals for > 7 days.

IEC 61108-5:2020 © IEC 2020 – 13 –
Condition B
Warm start – The equipment has a valid almanac.
– Power outage – the equipment under normal operation loses power for at least 24 h; or
– Interruption of BDS signals – under normal operation the BDS signals receptions are
interrupted for at least 24 h, but there is no loss of power.
Condition C
Brief interruption of power or BDS signals – under normal operation, the power or the signals
are interrupted for 60 s.
No user action other than applying power and providing a clear view from the antenna for the
BDS signals shall be necessary, from any of the initial conditions above, in order to achieve the
required acquisition time limits in Table 1.
