Standards, Certifications & Class Approval

Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.

Applicable Standards & Certification	Applicable standards may include SD Association SD/SDHC/SDXC specifications, IEC 62368-1 for the host equipment, and manufacturer environmental or EMC declarations. The memory card itself is generally not subject to a marine-specific product standard.
Class Approval	Memory cards normally do not have independent DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, BV, or ClassNK type approval. Approval or acceptance may apply to the complete host navigation, communication, or IT system; verify the equipment manufacturer's approved part list.

Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information

Installation Notes	Verify card format, capacity limit, speed class, filesystem, firmware compatibility, and approved part number before installation. Back up data, power down equipment where required, insert in the correct orientation, and use the equipment's safe-eject function.
Maintenance Tips	Keep cards dry, clean, and protected from heat, magnetic fields, electrostatic discharge, and mechanical damage. Maintain current backups, avoid unnecessary write cycles, and replace cards showing read/write errors or corruption.
Safety Notes	Use only manufacturer-approved cards in safety-critical navigation or communication equipment. Do not remove a card during writing or firmware updates. Scan cards for malware when used with shipboard networks and follow the vessel's cyber-security procedures.
