Annex 1. Registration information
PLBs must be registered with a relevant national authority. Some administrations
allow for on line registration or require a completed registration application form to be
submitted by letter or FAX.
General information related to PLB registration requirements around the World is
published by the Cospas-Sarsat organisation. Some administrations now allow direct
registration using the Cospas-Sarsat website online IBIRD registration database.
Further information can be found on line here: www.cospas-sarsat.org
A registration form is normally packed with the PLB, if you are not registering the PLB
online the form should be completed and sent to the relevant national administration
at the address detailed on the form.
