Type Approval is ...
Type approvalType approval is granted to a product that meets a minimum set of regulatory, technical and safety
requirements.
Generally, type approval is required before a product is allowed to be sold in a particular country, so the
requirements for a given product will vary around the world.

Operator Vs “Regulator” Perspective
Operators essentially want to assure revenue and therefore strive to create/preserve value for their customers
While the aim of regulators is to protect the people, the environment and the resources

Implementation / protocol conformance testing field trial testing/ drive tests – real environment interoperability testing load testing E2E testing Sometimes have test plants / laboratories and are

Point of Reference: CE mark ApprovalPoint of Reference: CE mark Approval
R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC on radio and telecommunications terminal equipment defines a normative framework for CE mark approval and represents a good example and a point of reference for setting a type approval process on a national and international level. Low Voltage Directive (LVD) – Directive 2006/95/EC Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive – Directive
2004/108/EC radio equipment shall be so constructed that it effectively
uses the spectrum allocated to terrestrial/space radio communication

Testing of receivers
Assuring that the receivers comply with (future!) DVB-T network characteristics
Two approaches are proposed: One-time testing at TAL (testing of one type, preparing
a report, support in solving problems, database support for Communication campaign)
Permanent testing – permanent platform for compatibility and interoperability testing (DVB-T network is a changing environment!) using all approved receivers on the market

Wrap-Up of the Breakaway Sessions – Common
R&TTE Directive is a good point of reference
Technology Independence is important
Phased approach is encouraged
The most problematic issues are to be addressed first (i.e. user equipment, receivers)
(Harmonised) standards and their references to be used wherever possible

Issues Identified
Counterfeit mobile terminals
- cannot be solved by means of TA as those terminals enter the market illegally
Questionable quality of network equipment, i.e. equipment not meeting the declared operation parametres
- can be solved by menas of TA only to some extent

Cocluding Remarks
An independent testing facility is important for the region.
Phased approach encouraged. Start with essential requirements and then expand the scope based on the demand
There is adequate regulatory framework but not enough normative framework and, consequently, little enforcement

Concluding Remarks
Fake phones issue cannot be solved by means of testing and TA alone if they enter the market illegally, i.e. without TA
Operators and regulators should equip themselves with detailed technical (protocols, architecture, testing) knowledge. Ideally by menas of university courses and other “neutral” sources
Operators to concentrate on interoperability, performance and QoS. Signalling monitoring essential
In the beginning, regulators to concentrate on essential requirements

Why safety?Why safety?
Electrical products are now the cause of 80% of all fires.
Technology trend leads to reduction and minimization of electronic circuits.
The concentration of elements and concentration of electric power per mm2 is increasing.
Electrical products can fail and may not guarante full life time.
