Article 3.01 Operational readiness of the rate-of-turn indicator U.K.
1. From a cold start, the rate-of-turn indicator shall be fully operational within 4 minutes and shall operate to within the required accuracy tolerances. U.K.
2. A warning signal shall indicate that the indicator is switched on. It shall be possible to observe and operate the rate-of-turn indicator simultaneously. U.K.
3. Cordless remote controls shall not be permitted. U.K.
Article 3.02 Indication of the rate of turn U.K.
1. The rate of turn shall be indicated on a linear graduated scale having the zero point situated in the middle. It shall be possible to read the direction and extent of the rate of turn with the necessary accuracy. Indicators other than needle indicators and bar-graphs shall not be permitted. U.K.
2. The indicator scale shall be at least 20 cm long and may be circular or rectilinear. U.K.

Rectilinear scales may be arranged horizontally only.

Article 3.07 Insensitivity to normal movements of the vessel U.K.
1. Rolling of the vessel of up to 10° at a rate of turn of up to 4°/s shall not give rise to measurement errors in excess of the stipulated tolerances. U.K.
2. Impacts such as those that may occur during berthing shall not give rise to measurement errors in excess of the stipulated tolerances. U.K.
Article 3.08 Insensitivity to magnetic fields U.K.
