ECDIS standards

ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System) standards refer to the technical requirements and regulations that ensure electronic navigation systems are accurate, reliable, and safe for maritime use. These standards specify how the system must process, display, and update nautical data, maintaining consistency with international maritime safety practices. In essence, they ensure that ECDIS provides mariners with dependable digital charts and navigation information, helping prevent accidents and facilitate compliance with maritime regulations. These standards are maintained by organizations like the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to promote safe and efficient navigation worldwide.
