What is ISO 16273 about?
ISO 16273 specifies operational and performance requirements and methods of testing for night vision equipment fitted to high-speed craft.
ISO 16273 has been developed to support the implementation of the International Code of Safety for High-Speed Craft (HSC code), Chapter 13, of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), and the IMO performance standards for night vision equipment for high-speed craft in the IMO Resolution MSC.94 (72)
Note: ISO 16273, the text identical to IMO Resolution MSC.94 (72) is printed in italics; references to the paragraphs concerned in the IMO Resolution are given in brackets.
Who is ISO 16273 for?
ISO 16273 on night vision equipment for high-speed craft is relevant to:
- Maritime industries
- Maritime Organizations
- Craft and ship components manufacturers
- Shipbuilding and naval products manufacturers
- Quality control managers and accessors in high-speed craft manufacturing
Why should you use ISO 16273?
Night vision equipment is the most critical piece of equipment installed on high-speed craft in order to avoid any accidents or damage. ISO 16273 provides you with requirements and methods of testing for night vision equipment fitted to high-speed craft for its safe and efficient operation. You will be able to manufacture high-speed craft that is safe to use following the design guidelines provided in ISO 16273.
By adopting ISO 16273, you can build Night vision equipment for high-speed craft and have quality assurance to ensure that high-speed craft is produced according to the requirements and build trust in their use throughout the supply chain.
As a manufacturer, you would use ISO 16273 to ensure that the Night vision equipment that you are manufacturing for high-speed craft adhere to the standard specification.
