This Part 1 of DIN EN 61996 specifies the minimum performance requirements and methods of testing for shipborne voyage data recorder (VDR) installations as required by Chapter V of the International Convention for Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), as amended. Furthermore, it takes account of IMO resolution A.694(17). When a requirement in this standard is different from DIN EN 60945, the requirement in this standard takes precedence. Compared with the first edition in 2007, this second edition contains amendments in line with the new IMO requirements given in Resolution MSC.333(90) which shall be considered for new installations as of 1. July 2014. The responsible committee is DKE/K 738 "Elektronische Navigationsinstrumente" ("Electronical navigation instruments") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
