REGISTRATION AND TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP

EPIRB PURCHASE OR TRANSFER ADVICE

Registration of 406 MHz satellite EPIRBs with the EPIRB registration section of the

national authority is mandatory because of the global alerting nature of the COSPAS-

SARSAT system. The information provided for registration is used only for search and

rescue purposes. If your EPIRB is activated in an emergency, it will transmit its unique

identifying code that will give the authorities immediate access to your details when the

beacon is detected.

In Australia the preferred method of registration is online at: http://www.amsa.gov.

au/beacons. Alternatively, ﬁll in the owner registration form upon completion of the

sale and mail, fax or email the registration form to the relevant national authority.

Registration forms are also available online and if the beacon is to enter service

immediately, complete the registration form and submit to the relevant

national authority electronically for immediate registration.

(Registration details are on page 18 of this manual).

Once your EPIRB has been registered you will receive an adhesive label which must be

applied to the body of the EPIRB in the location shown below.

NOTE: Registration of your EPIRB cannot be done by GME.

TRANSFERRING OWNERSHIP

If the beacon is being transferred to a new owner, it is the responsibility of the current

owner to inform the national authority of the new owners name and address by email,

fax, letter or phone.

The new owner of the beacon is required to provide the national authority with the

information shown on the registration form.

This obligation transfers to all subsequent owners.

Failure to register your beacon may result in a ﬁne and could result in

unnecessary delays in the rescue process and possible loss of life.
