NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 2) (Second Revision) which is identical with ISO 8729-2 : 2009 ‘Ships and marine technology - Marine radar reflectors - Part 2: Active type’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Marine Engineering and Safety Aids Sectional Committee and approval of the Transport Engineering Division Council.

This standard was first published in 1993 and revised in 2004. The present revision is undertaken in order to harmonize with latest version of ISO Standard. This standard is now published in two parts. Other part is:

Part 1 Passive type

The text of the ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
