This International Standard specifies the minimum operational and performance requirements and methods of testing for Electronic Chart System (ECS). ECSs are designed for use as navigation information systems on vessels not required to comply with Chapter V of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS). If the full functionality of Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) according to IEC 61174 is considered to be unnecessary, ECS may be suitable for a navigation information system for certain types of vessels. The standard defines 3 ECS classes to describe three different levels of navigational functionality. Higher level compliance may require adequate back-up arrangements to ensure safe navigation in the event of an ECS failure.
