The R&Tte Directive applied to "radio equipment" and "telecommunications concluding equipment" ("Tte"), where:
Radio tool is a stock capable of communication by emission or reception of radio waves. Sound and Tv broadcast reception tool is exempt, as is tool used by radio amateurs and tool covered by the nautical tool Directive.
Tte is a stock enabling communication and intended to be linked to the group telecommunications network.
This record will join on Radio Equipment, which falls into two classes:
Class 1 radio tool may be located on the shop and put into assistance without restriction - tool that operates in a frequency band which is harmonised over Europe.
Class 2 radio tool is everything else - tool that operates in a frequency band which is not harmonised over Europe. The Ce mark for Class 2 tool must be accompanied by an "!" mark and the relevant Eu radio spectrum authorities must be notified prior to tool being located on the market.
The R&Tte Directive covers 3 mains areas:
Articles 3.1a, Safety: electrical safety requirements are similar those of Low Voltage Directive but with no lower voltage limit; and human exposure to Em fields
Article 3.1b, Emc: requirements similar to the Emc Directive. It should be noted that most Harmonised Emc standards for radio products require a Radiated Spurious Emissions measurement to be performed in place of an Radiated Emissions measurement (e.g. 55022)
Article 3.2, Radio Spectrum: This part requires sufficient use of the radio spectrum.
Manufacturers may only self utter after they have fully applied all relevant harmonised standards.
For products with many variants, or products operating in more than one frequency band or offering more than one service, faithful test planning together with a draft Technical building File and a Notified Body Opinion, is often a quicker and cheaper route to market.
