Update on the Radio Equipment Directive from the EU

The European Union have confirmed that the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) will be the only route to compliance of radio products from 13 June 2017. They have provided details in a FAQ update which is available at http://ec.europa.eu/DocsRoom/documents/22862. The transitional period, allowing use of the old R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC, ends on 12 June 2017. Any products put on the market after this date must comply with the Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU.

RN Electronics can provide testing to the Radio Equipment Directive (RED). We are in the process of adding RED standards to our UKAS accreditation and can also test to some draft standards before they are published. Please contact us on 01277 352219 or email for more information.
