This International Standard provides a set of mandatory principles, recommended criteria and associated guidance for the development and use of dependable marine programmable electronic systems for shipboard use. It applies to any shipboard equipment containing programmable elements which may affect the safe or efficient operation of the ship. It contains information for all parties involved in the specification, operation, maintenance and assessment of such systems. The principles and guidance in the document are largely based on requirements in national and International Standards. The source standards and their contribution to this International Standard are presented in the bibliography.

NOTE This International Standard does not directly address performance, test or test results requirements associated with specific types of equipment or functions. In such instances existing application or component standards may be applied, e.g. IEC60945, in respect of navigation and radio-communications equipment. The responsible body (e.g. National Administration, Classification Society or other contracted party) will determine the applicability of this International Standard, and its specific requirements where any potential conflict arises.
