The new Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU (RED) forces that all items of equipment with the directives scope, which need to be placed on the European market, must follow one of the new RED Conformity Assessment Procedures.
From 13th June 2017, no product can be introduced to the market without a conformity through the new RED. The old R&TTE conformity will not be valid anymore.
This change has an impact on diverse market participants: manufacturers, importers and dealers. The new CETECOM whitepaper ‘Radio Equipment Directive – The new radio equipment directive in detail’will give insights, in where products are really affected by the directive and which potential ways lead to conformity and therefore to a product market launch in the EU.
