EU Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU effective

In May 22, 2014, the Radio Equipment Directive (The Radio, Equipment, Directive, RED) 2014/53/EU was formally announced in the official EU communique (OJ), and came into effect on June 12, 2014. The directive will replace the radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive (R&TTE directive). By June 12, 2016, Member States should translate the directive into member states' laws, and the original R&TTE directive (1999/5/EC) will also be void. Since June 13, 2016, Member States should adopt the new Radio Equipment Directive (RED); since June 13, 2017, products that meet the old R&TTE directive will not be allowed to be sold in the EU market.
The new RED directive specifies the uniform rules for placing radio equipment, including cellular phones, car door devices and modems on the market. The new directive aims to keep pace with the growing number and variety of radio devices and devices and to ensure that they do not interfere with each other or to human health.
The new Directive provides more regulatory tools to the authorities to monitor radio equipment that does not meet the new safety regulations. Upon evaluation, the European Commission will determine the type of equipment that will need to be registered before launching the market. A similar database has already started operating in the United states.
