🔍 Key Concepts

• GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System) equipment test intervals • Difference between daily/weekly radio checks and monthly EPIRB/SART self-tests • How SOLAS and 46 CFR treat emergency equipment testing frequency

💭 Think About

• Think about whether EPIRBs and SARTs are used so often that they need constant testing, or if over‑testing might risk accidental activation or battery drain. • Compare typical inspection cycles for life‑saving appliances (like life rafts, EPIRBs, SARTs) versus operational checks for regular communications gear. • Ask yourself: which interval makes sense for critical gear that must always work, but shouldn’t be triggered or opened too frequently?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what SOLAS Chapter IV says about EPIRB and SART testing intervals. • Check if offshore drilling units (MODUs) follow the same GMDSS testing schedule as other SOLAS ships. • Confirm whether daily or weekly checks usually apply to routine radio equipment and logs, while longer intervals apply to sealed emergency devices.
