Categories Of Alerts - JRC JAN-7202 Instruction Manual

3.1.3

Categories of alerts

Alerts should be separated for the alert handling into three categories of alerts.
Categories
Category A Category A alerts are specified as alerts where information at a task station
directly assigned to the function generating the alert is necessary, as decision
support for the evaluation of the alert-related condition, e.g.:
• danger of collision
• danger of grounding.
Where category A alerts cannot be acknowledged at alert management
screen, this fact should be clearly indicated to the user.
Category B Category B alerts are specified as alerts where no additional information for
decision support is necessary besides the information which can be presented
at alert management screen.
Category C Category C alerts are specified as alerts that cannot be acknowledged on the
bridge but for which information is required about the status and treatment of
the alerts, e.g., certain alerts from the engine.
