Full title and description
Maritime navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems - Bridge alert management - Part 2: Alert and cluster identifiers and other additional features. This part specifies standard alert identifiers and reserved cluster identifiers to be used when applying bridge alert management (BAM), with the intent to reduce the number of different identifiers used for similar alerts and to support interoperable alert handling across shipboard systems.
Abstract
IEC 62923-2:2018 defines the standard alert identifiers and reserved cluster identifiers for use within Bridge Alert Management. It provides identifier lists, reserved ranges and supplementary features that enable consistent categorization, clustering and exchange of alerts between equipment and central alert management systems on the bridge. The document is intended to complement the operational and interface requirements given in IEC 62923-1.

Scope
IEC 62923-2:2018 specifies the standard alert identifiers and reserved cluster identifiers to be used when applying Bridge Alert Management (BAM). The scope covers identifier definitions and reserved identifier ranges, plus other additional features needed to support consistent alert clustering and exchange between equipment and central alert management systems on the ship bridge. This part is intended to be used together with IEC 62923-1, which contains operational, performance and interfacing requirements for BAM.
Key topics and requirements
- Standard alert identifier lists for common navigation and bridge-related conditions (titles, categories and identifier codes).
- Reserved cluster identifier ranges and rules for grouping related alerts into functional clusters to reduce alarm load on the bridge.
- Guidance for mapping equipment-specific alerts to standard identifiers and for using reserved identifiers for proprietary or vendor-specific alerts.
- Supplementary features that support consistent presentation, aggregation and handover of alerts between equipment and the central alert management system (CAM).
- Intended interoperability with the BAM framework established in IEC 62923-1 and alignment with relevant IMO guidance.
Typical use and users
Used by maritime equipment manufacturers, ship system integrators, classification societies, testing laboratories, surveyors and ship operators to ensure consistent alert identification, clustering and exchange on the bridge. Implementers of bridge alarm and central alert management systems use this part to map device alerts to standard identifiers and to reserve identifier ranges for vendor-specific extensions.
