2.0 Regulatory Certification
Regulatory Authority - Worldwide, man-made electromagnetic emissions are
controlled by international treaty and the ITU (International Telecommunications
Union) committee recommendations. These treaties require countries within a
geographical region to use comparable tables for channel allocations and
emission limits to assure that all users can operate with reasonable levels of
interference.
Recognizing a need to protect their limited frequency resources, many countries
have additional local laws, regulations, and government decrees for acceptable
emission levels from various electronic equipment, both military and commercial.
By requiring that each model of equipment be tested and an authorization permit
issued after payment of a tax (called a grant fee), the government attempts to
control the sale of poor quality equipment and also has record of the known
manufacturers.
Enforcement and expectation of the local law varies, of course. USA, Canada,
and most European countries have adopted ITU tables for their respective radio
regions. Australia, Hong Kong, and Japan also have extensive rules and
regulations for low-power transmitters and receivers, but with significant
differences in the tables for that radio region. Most other countries have less
formal regulations, often modeled on either USA or EU regulations.
In any country, it is important to contact the Ministry of Telecommunications or
Postal Services to determine any local limitations, allocations, or certifications
PRIOR to assembling or testing your first product. The mildest penalty is often
total loss of your import, export, and foreign exchange privileges.
