A little more about it

The Dutch digital infrastructure regulator identifies this as one of three available maritime radio operating certificates. Theory examinations and certificate applications are handled by CBR; relevant practical examinations use CBR-recognized training providers. The certificate level determines which equipment may be operated. Review the current CBR examination route and equipment rules before applying.

What this credential means

A Dutch operating certificate with equipment-specific scope. Device registration, vessel obligations and recognition abroad remain separate questions.
