NEW REGULATION
Since May 1, 2015, the new regulation requires to have on board an EPIRB type beacon programmed with the MMSI number of the boat for the offshore category (beyond 60 miles from a shelter).
The MMSI number is delivered to you by the Agence Nationale des Fréquences (ANFR). If you do not have an MMSI license, or need an update for an existing license, click on this link to make the request to the ANFR.
*Since 2016, Galileo has increased its constellation to reach 100% operational coverage in 2019.
**It is recommended to have your beacon checked by a Kannad station after 5 years. This will provide a 1 year warranty extension to the beacon.
*** It is recommended to do one simple test per month and two complete tests per year. The full test must be performed in an open field with a view of the sky.
