Learn about Europe's radio compliance directive

The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) will hold a live webinar on Thursday, 27 April, at 7.00 pm Australian Eastern Standard Time (or 11.00 am CEST/09.00 am UTC) to inform the market about compliance issues.

From 13 June this year, all radio equipment being placed on the market or put into service in the European Union must comply with the new Radio Equipment Directive (RED), 2014/53/EU.

ETSI’s Harmonised Standards are often the preferred method of demonstrating compliance with European radio regulations.

The webinar will explain how industry can access the EU market using ETSI Harmonised Standards, provide an update on the status of availability of ETSI’s Harmonised Standards and indicate alternative paths in the cases where Harmonised Standards are not yet available.

You can register for the webinar at https://www.brighttalk.com/webcast/12761/255779.

The webinar speaker will be Dr Michael Sharpe, Director of Spectrum and Equipment Regulation at ETSI. Dr Sharpe is responsible for ensuring effective cooperation of ETSI’s technical activities with the work of key regulatory bodies and partner standards bodies at the National, European and Global level.

His current priorities include working with the European Commission to ensure the smooth introduction of the Radio Equipment Directive, and the continuing close cooperation with CEPT and the Commission Radio Spectrum Unit to ensure that ETSI Harmonised Standards and Regulations on radiofrequency use are developed in a coordinated and effective manner.
