The Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU (prior: 1999/9/EC)
The Radio Equipment Directive applies to electrical and electronic equipment that transmit and/or receive the radio waves. Examples of the radio equipment are as follow: TV, mobile phones, wireless bluetooth and wi-fi equipment, Internet of Things (IoT) equipment.
Radio equipment should be designed in such a way to:
comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive, except for the voltage limits;
carry an appropriate level of electromagnetic compatibility descriibed in the EMC Directive;
effective and efficient use of the radio spectrum.
For the certain radio equipment additional requirements are mentioned in the Directive. These concern to universal charges, equipment that contains protections to secure personal data and privacy, and equipment which guarantees access to emergency services. The additional requirements will be set by the European Commission (in the near future).
By affixing the CE marking on radio equipment the manufacturer or importer declares that the product meets the essential requirements of the Radio Equipment Directive 2014/35/EU. All radio equipment bearing the CE mark can be traded freely within EEA-area.
