RadioRegs.com brings you the latest developments in European radio and telecommunications regulation.
The Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive, 1999/5/EC, also known as the RTTE and R&TTE Directive, introduces a series of procedures for placing radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment on the European market.
These procedures include conformity with the essential requirements for LVD or Low Voltage Directive health & safety (including SAR), EMC and protection of the radio spectrum and orbital resources.
The conformity assessment procedures for internal production control, technical construction file (TCF), and full quality assurance (FQA) are explained.
RadioRegs.com provides: details of the relevant CE marking and when the alert mark should be used; information about declarations of conformity; and links to notified bodies who can help you with placing your equipment on the European market.
The previous Telecommunications Terminal Equipment (TTE) Directives, 91/263/EEC and 98/13/EC, are no longer applicable for new type of equipment being placed on the European market for the first time.
RadioRegs.com provides guidance through the new procedures. Persons and organisations wishing to place radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment on the European market should take legal advice before supplying such equipment.
Advice about the conformity assessment procedures is available from Notified Bodies appointed under the directive.
