Question 61 Deck Safety

The correct answer is D) the test shall use an integrated test circuit and an output indicator. This is the correct answer because the regulations for Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRBs) require that they have an integrated test circuit and output indicator to allow for self-testing of the EPIRB. This ensures the EPIRB is functioning properly without the need to activate the full distress signal, which would unnecessarily alert search and rescue authorities. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the EPIRB testing requirements. Option A is incorrect as there are no specific activation times listed in publications. Option B is incorrect as there is no requirement to contact the Rescue Coordination Center for EPIRB testing. Option C is incorrect as it does not accurately describe the integrated test circuit and output indicator used for EPIRB self-testing.
