70% to pass

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

A week
B two weeks
C month
D two months
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) month. The requirement to test each EPIRB (Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon) using the integrated test circuit and output indicator every month is specified in regulations governing MODUs (Mobile Offshore Drilling Units). This testing interval ensures the EPIRB is functioning properly and ready for use in an emergency. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not align with the regulatory requirement. Testing the EPIRB more frequently (weekly or biweekly) is not necessary, and testing it less frequently (every two months) would not provide adequate assurance of the EPIRB's readiness.
