Radio Equipment Directive (2014/53/EU)

There is a new publications in the OJEU of standards harmonised under the Radio Equipment Directive:

8th June 2017 2017/C 180/04 29 standards added

This brings the total number of standards harmonised under the RED to 140
(compared to over 200 standards harmonised under the R&TTE Directive – the work will continue)

However, of the 29 standards added in June, 21 of them were R&TTE harmonised standards that do not include receiver performance requirements, so the following disclaimer has been added to each of them in the listing:

“This harmonised standard does not address requirements relating to receiver performance parameters and does not confer a presumption of conformity as regards those parameters.”

So receiver performance will have to be addressed by other means
