Legality requirements: European CE certification and RED Directive

Legality requirements: European CE certification and RED Directive

Nowadays, problems related to the absence of mobile signal inside buildings are common. This is mainly due to the good insulation that newly constructed buildings have (double glazing, steel construction) or by the presence of a poor external mobile signal (due to the distance from the transmission towers, the composition of the territory etc.), which, in an attempt to "penetrate" into the buildings fades until it disappears, given its low intensity.

From this problem follows an ever-increasing demand for equipment that can "carry" the outdoor mobile signal inside specific buildings, thus ensuring connection with that signal even in well-isolated or particular environments. And here emerges the need to have a GSM repeater.

But the installation of a GSM repeater requires special permissions, primarily from entities responsible for verifying the legality of the product, with the aim of avoiding situations such as interference on the network and other things that non-standard products entail.

1. Why is it important to have European CE Certification and RED 2014/53/EU compliance?

Having permits for the use of a mobile signal repeater is an essential step in order to be able to use this type of product: the various telephone operators have purchased certain frequencies for mobile signal services (2G, 3G, 4G e 5G)and are very careful in avoiding interference on the networks, interference that is frequent with products that are not legal, of low quality and therefore lack European certification. There is no need to fear: all our products are legal and certified at the European level, comply with the RED directive, and do not cause interference either on the networks of telephone operators or on the product itself.

All in order!

The sale and use of our GSM repeaters is allowed freely within the European Union.

It should be remembered that once the product has been purchased, before installing it, the user is required to request prior written permission from their provider.

2. European CE certification: what is it?

Within the European Union, many products in order to be marketed require the CE mark, which certifies that such products have been evaluated by those in charge (the manufacturer) and are found to have EU requirements for safety, health and environmental protection. This mark must be visible, legible and indelible, and is formed with the initials CE. In our catalog, all products bear the CE mark, as you can see in the product images on our website.

 

3. R.E.D. directive: what is it all about?

R.E.D. (Radio Equipment Directive) 2014/53/EU, for the regulation of radio and wireless equipment, is mandatory as of June 2017.

All products within the radio equipment family require RED certification in order to apply the CE mark and be marketed within the European Union. A product that complies with this certification is one that meets compliance obligations, possesses safety (and health protection) requirements, EMC requirements (Electromagnetic Compatibility level according to the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU) and Radio requirements.

All electronic products that emit and/or receive radio waves for the purpose of radio communication are subject to compliance with this directive. As mentioned, our products are all compliant with the RED Directive, we have all the documentation to prove this compliance.
