 R&TTE European Directive has been issued by the European Parliament on March 9, 1999 and published in the official journal on April 7, 1999. It has come into force on April 8, 1999 and had to be carried out within the National States' legislation. During the same period the Swiss legislation has been updated as well. The modified writ has thus come into force by May 1, 2000
The R&TTE directive outlines a new legal framework for merchandising, free circulating and operating radio and telecommunications terminal equipments in the EU. Its application field does not only encompass terminal equipments (wire connected or using a frequency spectrum) but also all radio equipments - included telecommunication network sysytems (ie.GSM base stations). The new directive has replaced Directive 98/13/CE of February 12 1998.
These are summmarily the consequences of R&TTE Directive
- easier market access
- changes in matter of procedures of conformity assessment, as - i.e.- abolition of the obligation of homologation and widened application of internal prescription
- substitution of technical prescriptions with optional instructions and thus of easier introduction of new technologies
- increased manufacturer's responsibility
- increased balance from market's surveillance
The transitory phase ended on April 30, 2001, that is a year after the directive has come into force. Consequently any telecommunication system to be sold or put into market. has to:
- hold a conformity declaration
- bear the identification mark
- provide information for the user
- be announced to UFCOM, by notification, at least four weeks before being marketed if it employs frequency bands whose utilisation is not harmonized internationally and has not been homologated yet
Note
1) Directive related to terminal telecommunication equipments and to equipments of communnication satellites, included a mutual acknowledgmenmts of own conformity.
