Extended distress signal proof (SKN)
The SKN (Sachkundenachweis Seenotsignalmittel) is the extended certificate for acquiring, storing and handling larger pyrotechnic distress signals.
Apply nowWhy do you need the SKN?
For certain pyrotechnic distress signals, such as signal pistols and larger ammunition, the FKN is not enough. The SKN is then required to purchase and own them.
What does the course cover?
In depth legal basics of German explosives and weapons law, design and effect of the signals, safe handling, storage, transport and disposal.
Why it matters for marine conservation
Organisations with their own mission boats are responsible for the safety equipment on board. With the SKN your crew can acquire and use this equipment in a legally sound way.
