Full title and description

IEC 61162-460:2024/COR1:2024 — Corrigendum 1 to "Maritime navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems — Digital interfaces — Part 460: Multiple talkers and multiple listeners — Ethernet interconnection — Safety and security". This corrigendum provides editorial and technical corrections to the 2024 third edition of IEC 61162-460 and clarifies requirements and test provisions for IEC 61162-460 compliant equipment and networks.

Abstract

This single-page corrigendum records corrections and clarifications to the third edition (2024) of IEC 61162-460. The main standard is an add-on to IEC 61162-450 for applications requiring higher safety and security; it defines additional requirements and test methods for equipment, network behaviour, interconnection controls and redundant network arrangements. The corrigendum ensures the normative text, figures and test references in the 2024 edition are internally consistent.

Scope

This corrigendum amends and clarifies the normative content of IEC 61162-460:2024. IEC 61162-460 itself is intended as a higher-safety-and-security add-on to IEC 61162-450 and defines requirements and test methods for: equipment used in IEC 61162-460 compliant networks, network-level requirements (including redundancy and interconnection to other networks), and verification/testing procedures for safety and security aspects of Ethernet-based multiple-talker/multiple-listener maritime digital interfaces. The corrigendum corrects editorial errors and clarifies ambiguous requirements to ensure correct implementation and testing.

Key topics and requirements

• Corrigenda to normative clauses and tables of IEC 61162-460:2024 (editorial corrections and clarifications).
• Clarified requirements for equipment behaviour in IEC 61162-460 networks (timing, message handling and security-related controls).
• Test methods and acceptance criteria for compliance with safety and security provisions in Part 460.
• Requirements for redundant IEC 61162-460 compliant network configurations and failover behaviour.
• Interconnection requirements and constraints when linking IEC 61162-460 networks to other networks to preserve integrity and mitigate external threats.

Typical use and users

Used by maritime navigation and communication equipment manufacturers, shipboard systems integrators, test laboratories, classification societies and regulatory bodies to apply the corrected 2024 requirements in product design, type approval and testing. The corrigendum is applied alongside the main 2024 edition when implementing or certifying IEC 61162-460 compliant systems.
