Unofficial table of contents

Appendix 1-applies only to vehicles with ship test requirements on the tachograph and regulations concerning the installation of tachographs on board

A. Requirements for the tachograph

1.

Determination of the ship's journey time

In order to determine the journey according to the criterion 'Yes/No', the rotation of the screw should be taken at a suitable location. In the case of other than propeller drives, the locomoing movement must be taken at an appropriate location. In the case of two or more screw shafts, it is necessary to ensure that only one shaft is registered even when the shaft is rotated.

2.

Identification of the ship

The single European ship number or the official vessel number shall be recorded on the data carrier in an indelible way and shall be visible from the data carrier.

3.

Register on disk

The respective operating mode of the ship, the date and time of operation and the interruption of the operation of the tachograph, the insert and the removal of the data carrier, as well as other manipulations on the device, must be registered in the data carrier in a forgery-proof manner. and can be seen from this. Time, insert and removal of the data carrier or Opening and closing of the device, as well as the interruption of its energy supply, must be automatically registered by the tachograph.

4.

Duration of registration per day

The screw rotation between 0.00 and 24.00 o'clock of each day, the date and the respective beginning and the respective end of the rotation must be registered without gaps.

5.

Reading the registration

The registration must be clear, easy to read and clearly understood. The reading of the registration has to be possible at any time without special aids.

6.

Recording the registration

Registrations must be made available at any time in an easily overviewable form as a record.

7.

Security of registration

The screw rotation must be registered in a forgery-proof way.

8.

Accuracy of registration

The rotation of the screw must be accurately recorded in time. The reading of the registration must be possible with an accuracy of 5 minutes.

9.

Operating voltages

Fluctuations in the operating voltage up to 10% of the nominal value must not affect the correct operation of the device. In addition, the installation must be able to carry out an increase in the supply voltage of 25% above the nominal value for at least 5 minutes without impairment of its operational capability.

10.

Operating conditions

The equipment or parts of the equipment shall operate satisfactorily under the conditions set out below:

4.

The statement about the ship's movement, that is, whether the ship is "in motion" or has the "travel set", is derived from the movement of the propulsion system. The corresponding signal has to be derived from the rotation of the screw, the screw shaft or the drive assembly. In the case of other types of drives, an equivalent solution is to be created.

5.

The technical equipment for the detection of the ship's movement must be installed in an extremely reliable way and can be secured against unauthorized interventions. For this purpose, the transmission line (including the signal transmitter and device input) for the signals from the drive system to the device must be secured by suitable measures and the line interruption is to be monitored. Suitable for this purpose are: B. Plomben or seals, which are provided with special characters, as well as visible line laying, monitoring circuits.

6.

The recognised specialist company, which has carried out or supervised the installation, carries out a function test after the installation has been completed. It shall issue a certificate on the specific characteristics of the installation (in particular the location and type of seals or seals and their signs and the monitoring equipment) and the proper functioning of the system, which shall also provide information on the approved Device must be included. After each renewal, modification or repair, a re-examination shall be required, which shall be noted in the certificate.

The certificate must contain at least the following information:

-

the name, address and mark of the authorised company which has carried out or supervised the installation;

-

the name, address and telephone number of the competent authority which the firm has recognised;
