Origin and aim of the RTTE Directive
© ETSI 2012. All rights reserved9
The market for RTTE equipment exceeds 30 BEURO and is undergoing rapid growthIt was previously regulated through an EU Directive (98/13/EC) and more than 1000 national approval regulations As of 8 April 2000 the RTTE directive has replaced these national regulations and governs the marketing and use of R&TTE equipmentDirective establishes a regulatory framework for the placing on the market, free movement and putting into service in the Community of radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment

SEM26-01
What does a manufacturer need to do?(RTTE Directive)
Meet “essential requirements”• Health & safety• Electromagnetic compatibility• Avoidance of harmful interference
• Radio equipment only
• Possibly others, if invoked by the EC
Carry out “essential radio test suites”Meet National radio interface regulationsInform member state before placing on the market• If using non-harmonised radio spectrum

How can ETSI help (1)?
11
A manufacturer can show that he meets essential requirements by applying ETSI Harmonized Standards
SEM26-01
Harmonised Standards
“Where apparatus meets the relevant harmonised standards or parts thereof whose reference numbers have been published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, Member States shall presume compliance with those of the essential requirements referred to in Article 3 as are covered by the said harmonised standards or parts thereof.” [RTTED: Article 5.1]
12
SEM26-01
Harmonised Standards
European Standards (EN)Produced under a mandate from the European Commission
• And adopted by Member States (98/34 committee)
Implement essential requirementsAdopted by National Standards OrganisationsCited in the Official Journal of the European UnionMember states required to presume conformity
13
SEM26-01
Harmonised Standards (RTTE)
14
Mandate M/284 (&
specific mandates)
Identify « essential radio test suites »
necessary before
placing on the marketOnly the
part of the standard
relevant to the Directive
is cited in the OJEU
Identify technical requirements necessary to
meet regulatory objective (essential
requirements)

Harmonised Standards (RTTE)

ETSI technical work is co-ordinated in ETSI by a Steering Committee (OCG RTTED)Commission refers regulatory issues to Member States (TCAM committee)ETSI is a permanent observer in TCAM

ETSI standards in the OJEU
More than 160 standards listed under RTTE&D and EMCD
R&TTE Directive:• art.3.1b (EMC) – 35 (Essentially EN 301 489 series)• art. 3.2 – more than 120;• art.3.3 – 7 (Maritime specific requirements)
EMCD (Directive 2004/108/EC) – 3
SEM26-01
RTTE Directive, article 3.2:“Avoid harmful interference”
The overlapping signal is seen as interference to the legacy receiver.
This was traditionally solved by exclusive licensing.
ETSI EN 300 220 (SRDs operating in up to 1GHz), EN 300 328 (Wideband transmitting systems in 2,4 GHz) to solve inter systems interference

interference
Harmful Interference. Interference which endangers the functioning of a radionavigation service or of other safety services or seriously
degrades, obstructs, or repeatedly interrupts a radiocommunication service operating in
accordance with [the ITU] Radio Regulations.
SEM26-01
But …??!!
How can Administrations be sure that standards protect the spectrum adequately?• Technical requirements are set by consensus of
Administrations and Industry, in co-operation with CEPT
What to do with non-compliant equipment?• Effective market-surveillance is key• Members States shall take steps to remove non-
compliant equipment from the market
But what is there’s a mistake in the standard?• Revisions can be initiated quickly• Safeguards can be invoked in worst cases
18
SEM26-01
But...??!!
Compliant equipment can be sold in all EU/EFTA, but...Individual Member States can restrict it being put into service! • For reasons relating to the effective and
appropriate use of the radio spectrum• For avoidance of harmful interference• Matters relating to public health
The manufacturer is required to alert the user of such restrictions

How can ETSI help (2)?
Co-ordinate with European Radio Regulators to develop and align National frequency regulations
20
SEM26-01
CEPT-ETSI Memorandum of Understanding
ETSI develops “System Reference Documents” to accompany requests for aligned radio frequencies in CEPT countriesCEPT/ECC studies compatibility and develops conditions for spectrum sharingETSI members may participate in studies and the drafting of spectrum measuresETSI is a permanent observer in CEPT/ECC groups that adopt Decisions & Recommendations on spectrum allocationsIndividual National Administrations may commit themselves to implement CEPT/ECC Decisions

The implementation of CEPT/ECC deliverables is subject to the decision of National governments
• If use of frequencies is not harmonised in all EU Member States, the manufacturer is required to inform the National authorities 4 weeks before placing his equipment on the market!

How can ETSI help (3)?
ETSI and CEPT assist the European Commission to develop spectrum measures which are binding on National governments. Commission Decisions provide legal certainty in:• EU Member States• EEA Countries• Bilaterally “associated” countries• Accession countries
