Wireless devices refer to technological devices such as mobile phones, remote-controlled toys, certain types of remote controls and devices enabling wireless access to the Internet. In order to be placed on the market, these devices must meet specified requirements, which are mainly associated with the health and safety of the public and the avoidance of harmful interference. These requirements are common for all Member States of the European Union (EU).
In addition, manufacturers and distributors are required to ensure that devices bear the CE marking and additional markings and are accompanied by specific documents that verify their compliance with the above-mentioned requirements.
EETT is the competent authority for the surveillance of the radio equipment market. It carries out sample inspections and in the event of infringements, it imposes restrictive measures and penalties.
