These Performance Standards should apply to all ship borne radar installations, used in any configuration, mandated by the 1974 SOLAS Convention, as amended, independent of the:
- Type of ship;
- Frequency band in use; and
- Type of display,
Providing that no special requirements are specified in below Table and that additional requirements for specific classes of ships (in accordance with SOLAS chapters V and X) are met.
The radar installation, in addition to meeting the general requirements as set out in resolution A.694(17)*, should comply with the following performance standards.
Close interaction between different navigational equipment and systems, makes it essential to consider these standards in association with other relevant IMO standards.
