NMEA STANDARDS NOW AVAILABLE THROUGH RULEFINDER ONLINE LIBRARY

NMEA Standard Rolefinder

 

Mar 6, 2016

The National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) and Rulefinder, a Netherlands-based online standards library, have signed an agreement for distribution of all NMEA standards. Effective immediately, NMEA standards can be purchased from either the NMEA or Rulefinder websites. NMEA member and non-member pricing are the same regardless of which site the standards are purchased from.

Rulefinder already distributes American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC), International Organization for Standardization (ISO), New Zealand, Canadian and other marine standards. Adding the NMEA standards to their library is a logical move and will expose more users around the globe to the NMEA’s mission of safety on the water. Additionally, developers and engineers can use Rulefinder as a one-stop shop for all relevant marine standards.

Available through Rulefinder is the NMEA 0400 Installation Standard, NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000®, and the soon-to-be released OneNet® Ethernet Standard.

“We are very excited about this venture with Rulefinder,” said Mark Reedenauer, NMEA President & Executive Director. “Rulefinder will expose NMEA standards to a market that we have not yet ventured into, primarily international boat builders and yacht designers.”

Wieger de Wit, co-founder of Rulefinder.net, shares this excitement. “Our goal has always been to bring as much information to the table as possible. Now offering the NMEA standards on the Rulefinder.net platform means the library will be more complete and our users will benefit from that.”
