AIS standards

  • Print

AIS is regulated by a set of test standards created by the IEC. These standards ensure each AIS device is interoperable within the AIS system and meets the strict requirements of the IMO.

These standards are under constant review as part of the AIS vision and development.

Each AIS product must conform to a set of AIS standards in order to gain certification. Visit the IEC website for further information, or a full list of IEC standards can be found in Wikipedia.
