About This Item
IEC 63173-2:2022 addresses maritime navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems with a focus on data interfaces for secure communication between ship and shore, known as SECOM. For engineering, procurement, and compliance teams, it provides a technical reference for evaluating how shipboard and shore-based systems exchange data with security in mind. As a primary document for this topic, IEC 63173-2:2022 is relevant when organizations need a reliable basis for technical review, verification activities, and conformity assessment preparation.
What is IEC 63173-2:2022?
IEC 63173-2:2022 is part of the IEC 63173 series and defines the scope of secure communication across maritime data interfaces between vessel and shore environments. Based on its title, the document is likely used to support technical alignment for SECOM-related implementations, helping stakeholders assess interface behavior, security considerations, and system integration expectations. It is particularly relevant where documented evaluation, engineering validation, and controlled compliance workflows are required for connected maritime equipment and systems.
Applications of IEC 63173-2:2022
This reference is typically used in maritime system design, ship-to-shore communication architecture, and procurement reviews for navigation or radiocommunication equipment. It may support laboratory evaluation, interface verification, and technical assessment activities where secure data exchange must be demonstrated across operational environments. Organizations involved in fleet integration, shore-side communication infrastructure, or marine technology compliance can use IEC 63173-2:2022 to structure documentation, align testing workflows, and prepare for conformity assessment and regulatory preparation.
Why is IEC 63173-2:2022 important?
Secure ship-shore communication has direct implications for safety, interoperability, and operational consistency, so a clear technical reference is valuable during design and acceptance work. IEC 63173-2:2022 helps reduce ambiguity in how SECOM-related interfaces are reviewed and validated, supporting risk management and more consistent technical compliance decisions. It can also improve procurement clarity by giving buyers and suppliers a shared compliance reference for verification, quality workflows, and engineering documentation.
