IEC Publication 61174 is the basis for type-approval specifications related to operational methods of testing and required test results for an IMO-compliant ECDIS. IEC 61174 is used as the basis for type-approval/certification by Maritime Safety Administrations for an IMO-compliant ECDIS. ECDIS must comply with five types of standards : As an onboard electronic equipment included in SOLAS convention, ECDIS must comply with IMO standards
Standards for ECDIS, IEC developed appropriate test requirements, procedures and required test results. Recognized organisations are making use of this test standard to conduct their type approval process. This also applies to each of the various ECDIS related specifications provided in the current versions of IHO S-52 and IHO S-57 and associated appendices. The IEC ECDIS Test Standard is contained in IEC Publication 61174. In addition IEC 61174 refers to the application of other test standards to an ECDIS. In particular to IEC 60945, containing general requirements for robustness of the device against environmental influences and for software design, and IEC 61162 for data interfacing.
