NF EN ISO 11606

Ships and marine technology - Marine electromagnetic compasses

This International Standard specifies general requirements, type tests and individual tests for marine electromagnetic

compasses intended for steering purposes and/or taking bearings on board ships required by Chapter V of SOLAS,

1974 and the International Code of Safety for High-Speed Craft (HSC Code). The magnetic compasses

specified in this standard shall apply to the ships the overall length of which is normally not less than 24m . In this

context an electromagnetic compass is an item of electronic equipment which uses the geomagnetic field to obtain

information about the ship's heading. This information is conveyed to the main compass (which is used for steering

and taking bearings), to additional repeater indicators and, if required, to other navigational equipment.

NOTE All requirements that are extracted from the recommendations of IMO resolutions are printed in italics.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

- mandatory clauses to satisfy,

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
