SIST EN 61110:2004

Overview

EN 61110:1992 (published in Slovenia as SIST EN 61110:2004) defines the operational and performance requirements and the methods of testing for shipborne receivers of the Omega system and the differential Omega system. The standard sets minimum performance standards and specifies the required test results that demonstrate conformity. It reproduces the international IEC text (IEC 61110:1992) for application in the CLC/European context.

Key topics

The standard focuses on measurable, testable aspects of shipborne Omega and differential Omega receivers, including:

• Operational requirements for correct functioning aboard ships
• Performance requirements that receivers must meet under specified conditions
• Test methods and procedures to validate compliance
• Required test results and criteria for acceptance
• Considerations for installation, environmental influence and shipboard operation as they affect receiver performance

(Note: EN 61110 specifies the types of tests and minimum expected outcomes rather than prescribing implementation details for specific products.)

Applications

EN 61110 is practical and directly applicable to:

• Manufacturers of marine navigation equipment who need to design and validate Omega/differential Omega receivers to meet recognized performance benchmarks
• Type-approval and testing laboratories performing acceptance, type approval, or production tests using standardized methods
• Shipyards and system integrators specifying receiver performance in procurement and installation contracts
• Maritime authorities, classification societies and surveyors verifying compliance during inspections and certification
• Maintenance and repair teams conducting periodic performance verification to ensure continued compliance

Using this standard helps ensure reliable operation of shipborne Omega receivers, provides objective test methods for acceptance, and supports regulatory and procurement processes.
