8.1 Advice to owners of EPIRBs
Registration of 406 MHz satellite EPIRBs:
• Registration with the National Authority is mandatory because of the global alerting
nature of the system.
• The information provided in the registration card is used for rescue purposes only.
• See the owner registration card for the National Authority contact details on how
to register your beacon upon completion of the sales transaction. Before a beacon
enters service, it should be registered with the National Authority.
• If the beacon is being transferred to a new owner, the current owner needs to inform
the National Authority of the name and address of the new owner.
• The subsequent owner of the beacon is required to provide the National Authority
with the information as shown in the owner registration card.
• This obligation transfers to all subsequent owners.
