Annex 1. Registration information
Advice of EPIRB Purchase or Transfer.
Registration of 406MHz satellite EPIRBs with the EPIRB Registration Section of the national
authority is mandatory, due to the global alerting nature of the Cospas-Sarsat system. The
information provided in the registration is used only for search and rescue purposes.
Fill in the owner registration card immediately upon completion of the sales transaction.
Mail, fax or email the registration card to the national authority (refer below) immediately.
Registration cards are also available online. If the beacon is to enter service immediately,
complete the registration card and fax or email the information to the relevant national
authority.
If the beacon is being transferred to a new owner, the current owner is to inform the national
authority by email, facsimile, letter or telephone of the name and address of the new owner.
The new owner of the beacon is required to provide the national authority with the
information as shown on the registration card. This obligation transfers to all subsequent
owners.
’
The authorities will normally provide the registered user with a DECAL label which you are
obliged to fit to the EPIRB body as
‘proof of registration’.
