The purpose of BS ISO 22472:2016 is to provide guidance for the planning, installation and operational testing of voyage data recorder (VDR) installations according to specifications of IMO Resolution MSC.333 (90) and associated IEC 61996-1. This International Standard mainly covers interfaces between VDR and external sensors, which are the main subject for technical agreements among users, shipyards, VDR suppliers and/or sensor manufacturers when installations are planned. In addition, matters of performance test and playback are described as well. Furthermore, details for checking of items related to the interfaces and the installation are introduced. This International Standard is not intended for the standardization of performance factors and functional requirements related to VDR.When whole or partial replacement of an existing simplified VDR (S-VDR) is required, this International Standard provides guidance according to the requirements of IMO Resolution MSC.163 (78) and IEC 61996-2 for installation of the items concerned.NOTE Texts of this International Standard that are identical to that of IMO Resolution MSC.333 (90) and/or IEC 61996-1 are formatted in italics, and the regulation and associated performance standard clause numbers are indicated in brackets, where necessary.Cross References:IEC 60945IEC 61097-7IEC 61162-1IEC 61162-2IEC 61162-450IEC 61996-1IMO Resolution MSC.333 (90):2012IEC 60068-2-27:1987IEC 60268-5IEC 61097-2:2008IEC 61924-2IEC 62065IEC 62288ISO/IEC 8859-1ISO/IEC 10918ISO/IEC 15444ISO/IEC 15948ISO 8728ISO 11674ISO 16328ISO 16329ISO 22090-1ISO 22090-2ISO 22090-3IMO. 1974IMO Circular MSC/Circ.982IMO Circular MSC.1/Circ.1222:2006IMO Circular MSC.1/ Circ.1389:2010IMO Resolution MSC.74 (69):1998IMO Resolution MSC.74 (69):1998IMO Resolution A.424 (XI):1979IMO Resolution MSC.64 (67):1996IMO Resolution MSC.232 (82):2006IMO Resolution MSC.252 (83):2007IMO Resolution MSC.302 (87):2010IMO Resolution A.526 (13):1983IMO Resolution A.600 (15):1987IMO Resolution A.612 (15):1987IMO Resolution A.754 (18):1993IMO Resolution A.803 (19):1995IMO Resolution A.805 (19):1995IMO Resolution A.813 (19):1995IMO Resolution A.819 (19):1995IMO Resolution A.822 (19):1995IMO Resolution A.823 (19):1995IMO Resolution A.824 (19):1995IMO Resolution A.953 (23):2003IMO MSC/Circ.1024:2002IEEE 802.3u:1995VESA:2007All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
