Volgens mij niet.
En (formeel) zegt Echomax op hun site ook eigenlijk hetzelfde:
In 2003 ECHOMAX obtained EU Marine equipment Directive (MED) (Wheel Mark) - SOLAS certification for the EM230/230BR - EM305PE based on ISO 8729-1997.
The adoption of IMO MSC.164 (78) in May 2004 resulted in new ISO standards being generated; ISO8729-1 (passive) and ISO8729-2 (Active) later becoming effective from 23rd July 2009. In accordance with the Directive we were required to remove the Ships Wheel Mark from our rotational tooling, products, literature, website etc.
Since no commercial passive reflector within the 0.5m3 and 5kg limitations will meet ISO 8729-1 this left a void in the market for the last three years causing both confusion and uncertainty regarding which reflector can be fitted to lifeboats, rescue craft etc.
In August 2012 the EU COSS (Committee on Safe Seas and the Prevention of Pollution from Ships), the arbitrators for the MED, met to debate, amongst other subjects, the lack of available product to meet the requirements for a “radar reflector for lifeboats and rescue boats” (Directive Annex A1/1.33). For practical purpose this SOLAS requirement can only be fulfilled by a Passive device, and none are available!
As a result COSS reinstated the old ISO-8729-1997 for lifeboats and rescue craft, ONLY until such time as a passive reflector becomes available which meets ISO8729-1.
Niet goed genoeg, maar beter dan niets, dus hebben we het er
voor nood voorlopig maar mee te doen.
Trouwens:
@+/-3°-24m²: maximum - Stated Performance Level (SPL)
+/- 3° 4.7m²
Bij max 3° helling is de prestatie
redelijk; hoe bruikbaar is dat voor een zeiljacht?
