I have an EPIRB (406 MHz). Do I have to add it to my authorisation application?

Yes, and it must be registered on 406registration.com.

BIPT advises you to buy an EPIRB that is MEOSAR compatible.

I have a MOB (Man OverBoard) system. Do I have to add it to my authorisation application?

Yes, this system is subject to an authorisation issued by BIPT and must therefore be added to your application for a station authorisation.

Public consultation of the BIPT Council of 5 November 2019 on the extension of the user rights granted to Citymesh in the 3.5 GHz frequency band for the provision of electronic communications services on the Belgian territory

2019-11-05 00:00

Citymesh asked BIPT to add the municipalities of Zaventem to the current licence. The addition of Zaventem to the list of municipalities falling under the existing user rights limits the possibilities for another potential candidate and can therefore not be accepted without a new allocation procedure.

BIPT Council Decision of 29 October 2019 regarding the listing and classification of products and services provided by the universal service provider for the year 2017

2019-11-05 00:00

This decision aims at the implementation of Article 13 of the Royal Decree regarding the analytic accounting of the universal postal service provider of 25 April 2014. In this context, each year, the universal service provider has to provide BIPT with a list of his products and services as well as the classification according to their nature, into universal, public or commercial products or services. This classification is submitted to BIPT's approval. BIPT then communicates this approval to the audit commissioner (in this case, the Supervisory Board).

A station authorisation is required for a radio (TX/RX), a DMA, an ELT (fixed or portable), a radar, a transponder, an ATC transponder, a TCAS, a VDR, a weather radio, a radio altimeter, a satellite communication system (SATCOM)... This list is not exhaustive but an authorisation is required for all devices emitting electromagnetic waves. In case of doubt, please contact our department.

May I use a radio on the ground (not on board an aircraft) ?

As a runway marshall, I wish to communicate with the control tower, can I have a portable OQ radio?

The use of radios from the ground as an instructor or in AFIS (Aerodrome Flight Information Service) is possible but is subject to an authorisation of another category.

Must a seaplane have an aeronautical or maritime authorisation?

Both. An aeronautical authorisation is required when airborne but a maritime authorisation is required when on water. Furthermore, it can use a PLB: a device which can be activated by the user in case of emergency. That type of device is not subject to an authorisation in Belgium, provided that it is registered by the user via www.406registration.com.
