ERGONOMIC CRITERIA FOR BRIDGE EQUIPMENT AND LAYOUT
2.22 The Working Group gave initial consideration to the report of the Intersessional Correspondence Group co-ordinated by Germany (NAV 45/6) including a draft performance standards on Ergonomic Criteria for Bridge Equipment and Layout and was of the opinion such criteria should be developed in form of a Guidelines.
2.23 The Working Group took into account the document of IEC (NAV 45/6/1) informing that the Technical Committee 80 has noted the work of the afore-mentioned IMO Correspondence Group and that the fourth edition of IEC 60945 - Maritime navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems - General requirements, methods of testing and required test results will incorporate, in particular, the criteria being developed.
2.24 Unfortunately, due to lack of time the Working Group could not complete the work and recommended the Sub-Committee to invite the Committee to extent the target completion date for the agenda item "Guidelines on Ergonomic criteria for bridge equipment and layout" to year 2000 and include this item in the provisional agenda for NAV 46.
2.25 Therefore, it was recommended to invite Members to consider NAV 45/6 and submit their comments and proposals to the next session of the Sub-Committee for consideration and decision, as appropriate.
