RED 2014/53/EU Essentia ial l requir irements Art. 3.1(a): Protection of health and safety of persons and of domestic animals and protection of property, same protection for electrical safety as in LVD, without voltage limits applying . Safety also includes Exposure to EMF! Art. 3.1(b): Electromagnetic compatibility (same essential requirements as in EMC-D) Art. 3.2: Effectively uses and supports the efficient use of radio spectrum => results in increased receiver requirements Art. 3.3(a)-(i): Requirements for equipment within certain categories To be published yet, but those from R&TTE continue to apply. These requirements may be added based on implementing acts/delegated acts and prepared by TCAM (member state representatives) RED expert group (experts invited by Cie) is supporting TCAM 5/13/2019 presentation LPRA May 2019 5
Radio io Equip ipment Dir irectiv ive 2014/53/EU Amendments: • Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 on common rules in the field of civil aviation of 4 July 2018 and replaces Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 which is repealed with effect from 11 September 2018. Therefore modifications made to Annex I of RED, point 3. See also consolidated version of the RED Other interesting information: • Proposal 2017/0353 rules and procedures for compliance with and enforcement of EU harmonization legislation on products and amending Directives ------, 2014/35/EU, 2014/53/EU, proposed change that could affect the RED, DoC. Manufacturers shall make the DoC publicly available on their website or, by any other means that allows the DoC to be readily accessed by the general public in the EU free of charge. (at EU council, see proposed amendments) • Publication of the Report on the operation of the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) prepared for the purposes of both Articles 44 (2) and 47 (2) of the RED. 5/13/2019 presentation LPRA May 2019 6
Deleg legated & Im Imple lementin ing acts ts for r RED The RED Gives the EU Commission power to make additional (detail) legislation without changing the RED text itself. ( this avoids going via the long process of involving the EU Council and EU Parliament) . The RED Mentions the elements for delegated acts and/or implementing acts Status of acts currently under discussion/preparation/or ready • Article 3.3a on a common charger, • Article 3.3e and f to cover privacy and prevention of fraud • Article 3.3g Galileo • Article 3.3i and Article 4 relating to the updates of software into RE • Article 5: Registration of RE within some categories • Article 10.10: Restrictions of RE 5/13/2019 presentation LPRA May 2019 7
Deleg legated & Im Imple lementin ing acts ts for r RED Article 3(3)a: Assessment Study on Common Chargers of Portable Devices Pending: The impact study’s scope is “ to provide input for the IA (Impact Assessment) accompanying a new initiative to limit fragmentation of charging solutions for mobile phones and similar devices, while not hampering future technological evolution ”. Following tendering procedures the study was assigned to a number of economic players and a contract was signed in December 2018 and the kick-off meeting took place on January 2019 . 3 main phases have been setup for the study: the inception phase (now finalized), the data collection phase and the analysis phase. On the roadmap/inception impact assessment, from 15 December 2018 until 31 January 2019, 18 feedback comments were received. The data collection phase timeline is planned in the period from 18 March until 20 May The final analysis phase will be start end of April 2019 and, other than developing on market/technology assessments, will elaborate on previously collected data. The impact assessment study will be finalized by September 2019 Is on the agenda of the next RED Expert Group of 25 June 2019. 5/13/2019 presentation LPRA May 2019 8
Deleg legated & Im Imple lementin ing acts ts for r RED Articles 3(3)(e/f) Impact Assessment Study and Inception IA Pending: The impact study’s scope is to provide input for the IA to prepare an act aiming at strengthening the security of internet-connected devices, most of which are expected to be part of the Internet of Things, and of wearable radio equipment. The contract was signed on 4th March 2019 and the kick-off meeting has taken place in April 2019 3 main phases have been setup for the study: the inception phase (finalized), the data collection phase and the analysis phase. On the roadmap/inception impact assessment, from 28 January 2019 – 04 March 2019, 16 feedback comments were received. The data collection phase , intended to feed data for analysis, will run between May, June and July 2019. The impact assessment study will be finalized by December 2019 Is on the agenda of the next RED Expert Group of 25 June 2019. 5/13/2019 presentation LPRA May 2019 9
Deleg legated & Im Imple lementin ing acts ts for r RED Articles 3(3)g: access to emergency services: Galileo Pending: Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/320 (E112) supplementing Directive 2014/53/EU with regard to the application of the essential requirements referred to in Art. 3(3)g ensuring caller location in emergency communication from smartphones was adopted on 12 December 2018, and published on 25 February 2019 Its objective is to ensure that smartphones support technical solutions for reception and processing of location data based on Wi-Fi and GNSS (at least Galileo) It will apply as of 17 March 2022 The Standards have to be development by ETSI, it will be a specific request for the purposes of the new Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/320 There have been some discussions related to the use of Wi-Fi trade mark and radio access on 5 GHz. In November 2018 there was a consultation, no objection were raised at that time. Technical solutions for compatibility and interworking with at least the EU Galileo system, for calls made to at least the single European emergency number '112' referred to in Directive 2002/22/EC is the main requirement. 5/13/2019 presentation LPRA May 2019 10
