Full title and description

Ships and marine technology — Standard data for shipboard machinery and equipment. ISO 19848:2024 provides requirements and guidance for the capture, naming and processing of sensor and operational data related to ship structure, on‑board machinery and equipment, and ship operational information; it is primarily intended for implementers of software and data systems that acquire, describe and process such data.

Abstract

This document specifies how to name sensors and required data items and how to describe data for shipboard machinery and equipment. It contains requirements and guidance on capturing and processing data from sensors that monitor ship structure, machinery and equipment, and operational information, to promote consistent data exchange and software implementation.

Scope

ISO 19848:2024 applies to the structure of the ship and to shipboard machinery and equipment and covers sensor and operational data used to monitor these objects. The standard is aimed at implementers of software used to capture and process sensor data and describes naming conventions, required data items and data description methods for shipboard machinery and equipment.

Key topics and requirements

• Standardized naming conventions for sensors and data items to ensure consistency across systems and suppliers.
• Requirements and guidance for capture and processing of sensor data from ship structure, machinery and equipment.
• Specification of the data elements and descriptive metadata needed to represent shipboard equipment and operational information.
• Recommendations for implementers of software and data systems to support interoperable data exchange.
• Replacement and expansion of concepts from the previous (2018) edition to address broader data and implementation needs.

Typical use and users

Primary users are software implementers, system integrators and data architects building shipboard monitoring, condition‑based maintenance and fleet management systems. Secondary users include shipbuilders, equipment manufacturers, classification societies, ship operators and regulatory bodies that require consistent machine-readable data definitions for onboard machinery and operational information. The standard supports interoperability between sensors, onboard systems and shore‑side analytics.

Related standards

ISO 19848:2024 revises and replaces ISO 19848:2018 (withdrawn). It has been developed under ISO/TC 8/SC 6 (Ships and marine technology). Users may also consult related maritime and marine data standards published by ISO and by national standards bodies for complementary requirements and system-level interoperability.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 19848:2024 is an international standard that defines standard data and naming conventions for shipboard machinery and equipment to support consistent capture and processing of sensor and operational data.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers requirements and guidance for capturing and processing data from sensors monitoring ship structure, shipboard machinery and equipment, and ship operational information, including how to name sensors and required data items and how to describe that data.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Implementers of onboard and shore‑side software (data acquisition, monitoring, condition‑based maintenance and analytics), system integrators, shipbuilders, equipment manufacturers, classification societies and ship operators.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 19848:2024 is the current published edition (Edition 2, 2024), and it replaces ISO 19848:2018 which has been withdrawn.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is part of the body of ISO standards for ships and marine technology developed under ISO/TC 8/SC 6; while not a numbered "series" in itself, it sits alongside other ISO maritime standards addressing navigation, control and shipboard systems.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: ship data; sensor data; machine-readable metadata; shipboard machinery; equipment description; data naming conventions; interoperability.
