Geltungsbereich und Anwendbarkeit
This standard specifies the performance requirements for 406 MHz satellite Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRBs). It applies to EPIRBs equipped on various types of vessels, as well as the R&D, production, and management of such equipment. Engineers manufacturing or supplying maritime distress beacons for the Chinese market must comply with this standard. It replaces the previous version GB 14391-2009.
Technische Anforderungen
The standard outlines comprehensive system requirements for EPIRBs, covering the digital message generator and the modulator and 406 MHz transmitter. It defines specific transmission frequencies (including 406.025 MHz and 406.040 MHz) and sets strict limits for frequency stability, transmitter power output, and spurious emissions. Manufacturers must ensure that the transmitter output power remains between 35 dBm and 39 dBm under all specified operating temperatures. Regarding digital message content, the standard details the structure for both short format (112 bits) and long format (144 bits) messages. It specifies the use of BCH error-correcting codes and defines the protocols for user identification codes and emergency codes based on IMO guidelines. Environmental and operational requirements are categorized into three operating temperature levels (Level 0, 1, and 2). The standard mandates performance under thermal shock, mechanical vibration, and humidity. EPIRBs must operate continuously for at least 24 hours, with batteries required to sustain operation for over 48 hours. It also includes provisions for self-test modes, position data encoding from GNSS, and activation mechanisms to prevent accidental triggering.
Prüfverfahren
The standard references various testing procedures to verify compliance, including: - Frequency stability testing: Measuring short-term and medium-term frequency variations under specific timeframes. - Thermal environment testing: Evaluating performance under temperature gradients, thermal shock, and across the defined temperature levels. - Mechanical and environmental testing: Vibration, shock, waterproofing (10m depth for 5 mins), and drop tests (20m height). - Activation and release testing: Verifying the automatic release mechanism at a depth of 4m and ensuring proper manual activation procedures.
Häufige Fragen
