  1.1 Differential services broadcast information for augmenting the Global Positioning System (GPS) and the Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) to provide the accuracy and integrity required for entrances and harbour approaches and other waters in which the freedom to manoeuvre is limited. Various service providers are broadcasting differential information applicable to localized areas. Different services provide information for augmenting GPS, GLONASS, or both.

  1.2 Receiver equipment for the reception and proper decoding of differential GPS and GLONASS maritime radio beacon broadcasts (fully compliant with Recommendation ITU-R M.823) intended for navigational purposes on ships with maximum speeds not exceeding 70 knots should, in addition to the general requirements contained in resolution A.694(17) footnote, comply with the following minimum performance requirements.

  1.3 These standards cover the basic requirements of maritime radio beacon receiver equipment providing augmentation information to position-fixing equipment. It does not cover other computational facilities which may be in the equipment.
