Foreword

All technical contents of this standard is mandatory. This standard was drafted in accordance with rules GB/T 1.1-2009 given. This standard replaces GB 4696-1999 "China Sea maritime aids to navigation", compared with GB 4696-1999, the main technical change as follows. --- special signs increased lamp type and quality requirements (see 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5); --- Added "emergency wreck EPIRB" (see 9.3); --- increased use of sequential sync flash or flash conditions and requirements (see 10.2); --- adds features similar aids to navigation AIS aids to navigation and display characteristics consistent with its labeling requirements (see 10.3); --- increased requirements when using water instead of fixing flag buoy function (see 10.4). This standard is proposed and managed by the People's Republic of China Ministry of Transport. This standard is mainly drafted by. Ministry of Transport Maritime Bureau, Tianjin Maritime Bureau, Shanghai Maritime Bureau, the Guangdong Maritime Bureau, Hainan Maritime Safety Administration. The main drafters.
