Telecommunication is part of everyday life. The R&TTE directive (Radio & Telecommunications Terminal Equipment) is a European directive for telecommunication devices and common radio equipment.
The basic requirements are:
- Protection of consumer health and safety against hazards of electronics and power supply of the telecommunication device (electrical safety, for example, Low-Voltage Directive)
- Protection of consumer health and safety against electromagnetic fields from devices (EMF safety/ SAR)
- Protection requirements with respect to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
- Effective use of allocated frequency spectra (according to ETSI, CENELEC, FCC, etc.)
