-
Licensed GMDSS operators may not be required to demonstrate equipment competencies but all required equipment must be fully operational.
-
All required equipment must be fully operational and any required publications that are not current must be on order.
-
GMDSS operators may be required to demonstrate equipment competencies and any of required equipment that is not fully operational can be repaired at the next port of call as long as there is functional duplication.
During an annual GMDSS station inspection:

This just sounds like the most reasonable answer.
For details of requirements, please read from Code of Federal Register, especially

§ 80.1075 Radio records.

A key part to see that details the IMO, ITU, and other global agreements is the Title 47 Chapter I Subchapter D Part 80 - STATIONS IN THE MARITIME SERVICES
The requirements, and they are in sync with IMO, ITU, and other global agreements, can be found on Code of Federal Regulations
Title 47 Chapter I Subchapter D Part 80 Subpart C Operating Requirements and Procedures
Also, useful is Title 47 Chapter I Subchapter D Part 80 Subpart W - Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS)
