¿Cada cuánto tiempo deberá reemplazarse el material pirotécnico?:How often must pyrotechnic distress equipment be replaced on board?
Show the answer
Correct answer: b) When indicated by the expiry date marked on each item.
Why it is correct
Each pyrotechnic item (flares, rockets and smoke signals) has its own expiry date marked by the manufacturer and must be replaced when that date is reached, regardless of when the vessel’s ITB inspection or certificates fall due.
Why the others are not
- a) The certificate of seaworthiness lists required equipment, not the expiry date of individual flares.
- c) ITB inspection intervals do not govern the shelf life of pyrotechnics.
- d) It is not set by the Harbour Master’s clearance.
How to work it out in the exam
- Pyrotechnic replacement: according to the expiry date marked on each item.
