PLB TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

(a) A PLB should have a search and rescue satellite-aided tracking (COSPAS-SARSAT) type approval number. However, devices with a COSPAS-SARSAT number belonging to series 700 are excluded as this series of numbers identifies the special-use beacons not meeting all the technical requirements and all the tests specified by COSPAS-SARSAT.

(b) A First Generation PLB should have a built-in GNSS receiver.

(c Any PLB carried should be registered with the national agency responsible for initiating search and rescue or any other competent agency.
