RED Directive Compliance

The RED Directive 2014/53/EU supersedes the previous Directive 1999/5/EC on radio equipment. The Radio Equipment Directive applies to any electrical or electronic product designed to emit and/or receive radio waves for purposes such as radio communication and radiodetermination. It also covers products intended to be used with accessories that enable such functions.

Summary

This workshop offers a comprehensive introduction to the Radio Equipment Directive (RED 2014/53/EU), which governs the safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and efficient use of the radio spectrum for products emitting or receiving radio waves. Participants will explore the core compliance and safety requirements, practical manufacturing guidelines, and essential risk assessment techniques related to radio equipment. The agenda includes real-world examples and clarifications to support understanding, as well as insights into EU Harmonized Standard No. 1025/2012 and its link to RED implementation. Attendees will also learn how to prevent harmful interference, navigate various compliance assessment modules, and understand the roles and obligations of stakeholders involved in ensuring regulatory compliance—from manufacturers to notified bodies and end users.
