Distress Signals (Pyrotechnics) · Emergency Signaling Equipment
A red hand‑held pyrotechnic flare that burns for approximately 60 seconds, providing a high‑visibility visual distress signal compliant with SOLAS requirements. As a Distress Signals (Pyrotechnics), it is normally installed in designated bridge, lifeboat, rescue or emergency-equipment stowage positions. In that role, its primary purpose is to attract attention, mark distress or establish a rescue connection during an emergency. Pyrotechnics, emergency lights and line-throwing appliances use different activation methods, so storage, expiry and operating instructions are specific to the approved item. Capacity: 1 signal. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
