Question 3830 Deck General

70% to pass

Each EPIRB shall be tested using the integrated test circuit and output indicator every _______________.

A two weeks
B week
C quarter
D month
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) month. The requirement to test each Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) using the integrated test circuit and output indicator every month is specified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 46, Section 25.26-5. This regulation aims to ensure the proper functioning of the EPIRB, which is a crucial safety device for vessels, by requiring regular testing. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the monthly testing requirement outlined in the regulations. Testing the EPIRB every two weeks (A) or every week (B) would be more frequent than necessary, while testing it every quarter (C) would be less frequent than the mandated monthly interval.
