217 FOREWORD
218 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
219 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
220 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
221 in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
222 Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
223 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
224 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
225 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
226 Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
227 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
228 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
229 interested IEC National Committees.
230 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
231 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
232 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
233 misinterpretation by any end user.
234 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
235 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
236 any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
237 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
238 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
239 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
240 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
241 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
242 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
243 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
244 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
245 Publications.
246 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
247 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
248 9) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
249 patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
250 respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s), which
251 may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent
252 the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch. IEC
253 shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
254 IEC 62065 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 80: Maritime navigation and
255 radiocommunication equipment and systems. It is an International Standard.
256 This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2014. This edition
257 constitutes a technical revision.
258 This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
259 edition:
260 – alert management has been brought in line with MSC.302(87), IEC 62923-1 and IEC 62923-
261 2, reducing the number of alerts for one situation and improving the information provided by
262 alerts. An overview is provided in Annex F;
263 – the previous Annex F has been removed as outdated and not instrumental in the standard;

oSIST prEN IEC 62065:2025
