The Circular revises Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular (NVIC) No. 8-01, CH 1 to amend the guidance provided for a Coast Guard approval program for navigation equipment, as required under Chapter V, Regulation 18, of the 2000 amendments to the 1974 International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS). These changes are needed to update navigation equipment standards amended by SOLAS, and to reflect the source of this guidance. Specifically, it adds the approval processes for the simplified voyage data recorder (SVDR), the automatic identification system (AIS) Class B, and long range identification and tracking (LRIT) equipment. The changes also reflect new performance standards that went into effect since the previous version of the NVIC was issued.
