  3.1 Where a radionavigation system is used to assist in the navigation of ships in such waters, the system should provide positional information with an error not greater than 10 m with a probability of 95%.

  3.2 Taking into account the radio frequency environment, the coverage of the system should be adequate to provide position-fixing throughout this phase of navigation.

  3.3 The radionavigation system should permit an update rate of the computed position data not less than once every 2 sfootnote

  3.4 Signal availability should exceed 99.8%.

  3.5 When the system is available, the service continuity should be ≥99.97% over a period of 15 minutes.

  3.6 An integrity warning of system malfunction, non-availability or discontinuity should be provided to users within 10 s.

  3.7 The system shall be considered available when it provides the required integrity for the given accuracy level.
