2、ND TECHNIQUES OF THE GLOBAL MARITIME DISTRESS AND SAFETY SYSTEM ON A NON-COMPULSORY BASIS Recommendation proposed by the Working Group ”Radio Regulatory” (RR) Text of the Recommendation adopted by the “European Radiocommunications Committee ” (ERC): INTRODUCTION The start of the Global Maritime Dist
3、ress and Safety System (GMDSS) in February 1992 has made it necessary to harmonise the examination requirements for certificates of maritime radio operators. Harmoniseil examination procedures for the General Operators Certificate and Restricted Operators Certificate have already been introduced for
4、 maritime radio operators performing radiocommunication duties on board vessels subject to SOLAS“. The GMDSS is to be fully implemented by February 1999 for vessels subject to SOLAS. For vessels not subject to SOLAS, it is becoming clear that it would not be practicable to keep the old distress and
5、safety system running in parallel with the GMDSS indefinitely. This Recommendation describes the examination procedures for maritime radio personnel on board vessels sailing in sea area Al which use the frequencies and techniques of the GMDSS on a non-compulsory basis. “The European Conference of Po
6、stal and Telecommunications Administrations, considering that the Maritime Mobile Service and the Maritime Mobile-Satellite Service are services according to the ITLJ Radio Regulations (Article 1) and governed by the IT Radio Regulations and national regulations, that provisions of the GMDSS, closel
7、y related to the Maritime Mobile Service and the Maritime Mobile- Satellite Service, are also given in SOLAS and other international conventions and resolutions, that it is desirable to establish common standards of competence for the personnel of stations of the Maritime Mobile Service and the Mari
8、time Mobile-Satellite Service operating in accordance with the GMDSS, that the GMDSS entered into force on 1 February 1992, that Administrations are responsible, in accordance with Article 56 of the IT Radio Regulations, to ensure that the personnel of ship stations and ship earth stations operating
9、 in accordance with the GMDSS are adequately qualified to enable efficient operation of the station, that Article 56 also requires the radio personnel of vessels for which a radio installation is not compuisory wider international agreements and which use the frequencies and techniques of the GMDSS
10、to be adequately qualified in accordance with the Administrations requirements, I) International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (1974), as amended.

11、 for the format of certificates are set down in Radio Regulations 3869 through to 3876, recommends a) that Administrations issue the CEPT Short Range Certificate (SRC) for candidates passing the examination described in Annex 1, b) that developments in IMO should be monitored and this Recommendation
12、 should be modified accordingly, c) that Administrations mutually xecognise each others certificates when these are issued in accordance with Recommends a), d) that CEPT SRC certificates issued in accoxdance with this Recommendation should bear a xeference to the Radio Regulations and this Recommend
13、ation, e) that Administrations applying this Recommendation should complete the arrangements fox introducing the examination syllabus described in Annex 1 by 1 February 1996 and, in any event, not latex than 1 February 1999. “ Edition of July 29, 1994 STDOCEPT CEPT/ERC/REC 31-04 E-ENGL 1994 m 232b45
