IEC 60936-2:1998 pdf download.Maritime navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems – Radar
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the minimum operational and performance requirements, methods of testing and required test results as required by IMO resolution A.820 and Chapter X of the high-speed craft (HSC) code. It complies with the requirements of 1 3.1 3 of the HSC code and incorporates applicable parts of 1 3.5 of the HSC code on radar installations. In addition it takes account of IMO resolution A.694 and is associated with IEC 60945. When a requirement in this standard is different from IEC 60945, the requirement in this standard takes precedence. The HSC scenarios, as defined in annex D, apply to equipment intended for use on high-speed craft and to equipment which is tested to IEC 60872-1 and IEC 60872-2 and also intended for use on high-speed craft. All texts of this standard, whose wording is identical to that in IMO resolution A.820 are printed in italics and the resolution and paragraph numbers are indicated in brackets.

3 Performance requirements
The radio frequency of operation of the equipment and its characteristics shall at all times be
within the limits defined in the ITU Radio regulations. In particular, compliance with those limits
is defined in IEC 60936-1 .
3.2 (A.820/2) General
The radar equipment shall provide an indication, in relation to the craft, of the position of other
surface craft and obstructions and of buoys, shorelines and navigational marks in a manner
which will assist in navigation and in avoiding collision.
3.2.1 Equipment shall be installed in such a manner that it is capable of meeting its
recommended performance standards.
3.2.2 The operator manual for the radar shall include precautions in the use of the radar
under certain combinations of conditions with regard to not performing to specification i.e.
picture smearing and target tracking loss when at high speed close to targets.
3.2.3 Quality assurance
The radar shall be designed, produced and documented by companies complying with the
ISO 9000 series standards, as applicable.
