SmartFind EPIRB gains type approval

摘要

Emergency Location Beacon manufacturer and technology pioneer, McMurdo has gained type approval for the new SmartFind EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon).The British manufactured SmartFind range of EPIRBs are the first with both a non-hazardous battery and high brightness LED locator light to achieve type approval. The certification by COSPAS SARSAT, the international satellite-based search and rescue system, means that the SmartFind is compliant with maritime regulations. The development of a non hazardous battery eases the often restrictive nature of shipping and transportation of EPIRBs.
