Artikel 60

(1) An alarm system shall be provided which shall indicate any fault requiring attention.
(2) (a) The alarm system shall be capable of sounding in the machinery space an audible alarm and indicate visually each separate alarm function at a suitable position. However, in vessels of less than 45 metres in length the Administration may permit the system to be capable of sounding and indicating visually each separate alarm function in the wheelhouse only.
(b) In vessels of 45 metres in length and over the alarm system shall have a connexion to the engineers' cabins through a selector switch to ensure connexion to one of those cabins and to the engineers' public rooms, if any. The Administration may permit alternative arrangements which provide an equivalent measure of safety.

(d) Audible and visual alarms shall be activated in the wheelhouse for any situation requiring action by the responsible person on watch or which should be brought to his attention.
(e) The alarm system shall as far as is practicable be designed on the fail-safe principle.
