What EU Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53 - Essential Requirements, CE Marking, and Market Surveillance requires

Directive 2014/53/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on the harmonisation of the laws of Member States relating to the making available on the market of radio equipment (RED) became applicable on 13 June 2016 and replaced Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE Directive). The RED applies to all radio equipment - any electrical or electronic product that intentionally emits or receives radio waves for the purpose of radio communication or radio determination. Article 3 establishes the essential requirements that all radio equipment must meet: protection of health and safety of persons and domestic animals (EN 62368-1 and other harmonised standards), electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and effective use of the radio spectrum. Article 10 sets out the obligations of manufacturers including preparation of technical documentation, application of the CE marking, drawing up an EU declaration of conformity, and ensuring that each item of radio equipment is accompanied by a copy of the EU declaration of conformity. Article 30 requires that the CE marking is affixed before the radio equipment is placed on the market. Where radio equipment uses frequency bands not harmonised in all Member States, Article 10(10) requires the equipment to be registered in a central database maintained by the Commission. Notified bodies may conduct conformity assessment for radio equipment where the manufacturer chooses to use a notified body under Annex III or Annex IV procedures instead of the manufacturer's own internal production control under Annex II.
