Webinar Recording: December 8, 2016
Presented by Michael Derby
Directive 2014/53/EC the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) became applicable 13 June 2016 replacing the R&TTE Directive (1999/5/EC) bringing many changes to handling and approval of radio equipment. The transition has been wrought with many concerns and mis-understandings. Now in full force, the RED continues to have questions during implementation.
An overview of the main changes when transitioning from the R&TTE Directive or EMC Directive, to the RE Directive (RED). The webinar will re-cap the most significant changes affecting the transition to RED, including the latest updates on using the RED, important dates and timescales, RED guidance and harmonized European Norm (EN) standard development. ACB receives so many questions about the RED and has consistently been involved with the development of the Directive and RED Notified Body activities. Michael’s webinar will ensure that the most frequency asked questions, by manufacturers and test labs, are included in the presentation.
