IEC 61108
{{Use British (Oxford) English|date=January 2012}}
IEC 61108 is a collection of IEC standards for "Maritime navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems - Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS)".
The 61108 standards are developed in Working Group 4 (WG 4A) of Technical Committee 80 (TC80) of the IEC.{{Citation needed|date=June 2025}}
Sections of IEC 61108
Standard IEC 61108 is divided into seven parts, each relating to a different GNSS system's receiver equipment, performance requirements, methods of testing, and required test results:{{Cite journal |last1=Tegedor |first1=Javier |last2=Fortuny |first2=Joaquim |last3=Fernandez |first3=Guillermo |last4=Lacarra |first4=Elisabet |last5=Canestri |first5=Ettore |last6=Porfili |first6=Silvia |last7=Gioia |first7=Ciro |date=2025-05-12 |title=IEC-61108-7 SBAS Standard for Shipborne Receivers: Preliminary Testing Validation Activities |journal=European Navigation Conference 2024 |language=en |location=Basel Switzerland |publisher=MDPI |volume=88 |pages=48 |doi=10.3390/engproc2025088048 |doi-access=free }}

IMO Resolutions
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has made several resolutions on performance standards of shipborne GNSS receivers, corresponding to the IEC standards for different GNSS constellations and receiver equipment.
On 1 December 2000, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) adopted three resolutions regarding the performance standards for shipborne GNSS receivers:{{Cite journal |last1=Zalewski |first1=Pawel |last2=Bergmann |first2=Michael |last3=Wawruch |first3=Ryszard |last4=Weintrit |first4=Adam |date=2023 |title=Challenges Related to Standardization of GNSS/RNSS Shipborne Equipment by International Maritime Organization (IMO) |url=http://www.transnav.eu/Article_Challenges_Related_to_Standardization_Zalewski,68,1357.html |journal=TransNav, the International Journal on Marine Navigation and Safety of Sea Transportation |language=en |volume=17 |issue=4 |pages=863–869 |doi=10.12716/1001.17.04.12 |issn=2083-6473 |doi-access=free}}
