Electrical Safety European Low Voltage Directive (LVD) 73/23/EEC and the related design standard, IEC60950-1, 2nd edition. Mechanical Safety European Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. Radiation Safety (Radio and Radar) For non-ionising radiation, the European standard for human exposure to RF electromagnetic fields is EN 50385:2002; Physical Agents Directive 2004/40/EC (when published). Compliance is required in order to obtain CE marking (mandatory within EU) and can be achieved and documented in accordance with EN 50383:2010. Note: two thresholds for radiation safety are specified relating to occupational exposure and exposure to the general public. Also note that, for pulsed energy, measurement of power densities requires sophisticated test equipment and it is commonly accepted to verify worst case radiation levels and determine corresponding safe distances through an engineering report on power densities around the antenna, utilizing the guidelines laid down by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection. Electromagnetic Compatibility European EMC Directive 2004/108/EC. Generic European EMC standards used: Immunity as industrial equipment according to IEC 61000-6-2; Emission as residential equipment according to IEC 61000-6-3; Compliance is required in order to obtain CE marking (mandatory within EU). Radio Spectrum Requirements EU Requirements: European R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC. No harmonized test standards exist, it is recommended to follow the below guidelines: ECC/Recommendation (02)05 (2004): ‘Unwanted emissions’; ERC/Recommendation 74-01 (2011): emissions in the ‘Unwanted spurious domain’. ITU Recommendations: ITU-R Recommendation SM.1541-3 (2011): emissions in the out-of-band ‘Unwanted domain’; ITU-R Recommendation SM.329-11 (2011): emissions in the spurious ‘Unwanted domain”. US Federal Requirements: NTIA - Manual of Regulations and Procedures for Federal Radio Frequency Management. Chinese Radio Transmission Type Approval: Chinese Authorities require dedicated Chinese Type Approval, Compliant to ITU recommendations; Special rules apply for Hong Kong, where OFTA approval is required. Reduction of Hazardous Substances VTS equipment in the European Union should be designed to comply with the Reduction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS II) by July 22, 2017;
