Description (English):

IEC 60533:2015(E) specifies minimum requirements for emission, immunity and performance criteria regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of electrical and electronic equipment for ships with metallic hull. This International Standard assists in meeting the relevant EMC requirements as stated in SOLAS 74, Chapter IV, Regulation 6 and Cha pter V, Regulation 17. Reference to this International Standard is made in IMO Resolution A.813(19). This edition includes the followi ng significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - Introduction has been supplemented; - scope and title have been modified to limit the application of the standard to installations in ships with metallic hulls only; - the normative references have been updated; - further explanation for in-situ testing has been given in 5.1; - numbering of CISPR-Standards in Tables 1, 2 and 3 has been updated; - title of Annex B has been changed; - requirements on cable routing in Annex B have been amended; - new Annex C EMC test report has been added.

Abstract

Overview

IEC 60533:2015 - Electrical and electronic installations in ships - Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - Ships with a metallic hull - defines minimum requirements for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of shipboard electrical and electronic equipment installed on vessels with metallic hulls. The standard helps shipbuilders, equipment manufacturers and operators meet SOLAS 74 (Chapter IV Reg. 6 and Chapter V Reg. 17) and is referenced in IMO Resolution A.813(19). Edition 3 (2015) narrows the scope to metallic-hull ships and adds practical updates such as expanded introduction material, clearer in‑situ testing guidance, updated CISPR references, amended cable‑routing guidance in Annex B, and a new Annex C EMC test report template.

Key topics and technical requirements

EMC test plan and objectives (Clause 5): configuration of equipment under test (EUT), interconnecting cables, cabling and grounding, pre‑conditioning, operational/environmental conditions, and acceptance criteria - including enhanced guidance for in‑situ testing.
Emission requirements (Clause 6): conditions for emission tests and defined emission limits by ship zone (deck/bridge, general power distribution, special power distribution). A test matrix identifies which equipment requires laboratory and/or in‑situ evaluation.
Immunity requirements (Clause 7): minimum immunity levels and system‑level considerations to ensure equipment continues to perform under electromagnetic stress.
System and installation measures (Annex A & B): EMC planning procedures (EMC management, EMI matrix, data collection and analysis) and practical mitigation techniques - screening, shielding, grounding, cable routing, filtering and overvoltage protection.
Documentation and reporting (Annex C): standardized EMC test report to record results, test conditions and conformity evidence.
Equipment grouping and special measures: guidance for different equipment groups with tailored mitigation actions and organizational measures for operation, maintenance and repair.

Practical applications

Ensures reliable operation of navigation, communication, automation and safety systems by reducing electromagnetic interference risks.
Guides shipyards and integrators during design, installation and commissioning to prevent EMC-related failures and to satisfy flag/state and class survey requirements.
Assists manufacturers in defining product test requirements and in preparing equipment installation instructions consistent with shipboard EMC conditions.
Supports surveyors, regulatory bodies and operators in assessing conformity with SOLAS and IMO EMC expectations.

Who should use IEC 60533:2015

Ship designers, electrical architects and system integrators
Shipyards and marine installation contractors
Equipment manufacturers and test laboratories
Classification societies, flag administrations and marine surveyors
Fleet operators and maintenance teams responsible for onboard EMC management
