70% to pass

Which of the following is part of the annual SOLAS required test on an EPIRB?

A verification that the unit is stowed within five feet of survival craft
B verification that the unit lanyard is neatly stowed and properly secured to the vessel
C verification that the unit has been maintained by a shore based maintenance provider
D verification that the battery voltage is within 20% of the design limits
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) verification that the unit has been maintained by a shore based maintenance provider. The annual SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) required test on an EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) involves verifying that the unit has been properly maintained by a shore-based service provider. This is a critical requirement to ensure the EPIRB will function correctly in an emergency. The other options, while potentially relevant to EPIRB maintenance, are not specifically part of the annual SOLAS test.
