BABT RTTE / R&TTE EC Directive Compliance Services

RTTE / R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC is the European regulation applicable to radio and telecommunications terminal equipment. Manufacturers, suppliers and importers of such equipment must apply one of the conformity assessment procedures of the Directive before CE marking the equipment and placing it on the market of the European Economic Area* EEA).

CE Marking

Under the RTTE / R&TTE Directive, CE marking is mandatory and must be affixed before any product subject to it is placed on the market.

Where products are subject to several directives, which all provide for the affixing of the CE marking, the marking indicates that the products are presumed to conform to the provisions of all these directives.

The responsibility to affix these markings is with the manufacturer. It is illegal to apply the CE marking if conformity with the requirements has not been established or to use other markings which may be confused with the CE marking. An example of the CE mark where there has been no Notified Body involvement is:

CE mark - no Notified Body

In cases where a Notified Body has involvement in the conformity assessment process, the identification number of the Notified Body must be affixed to the product alongside the CE marking. An example of the CE mark where there has been BABT Notified Body involvement is:

CE mark from BABT - CE168

Where "0168" is BABT's Notified Body number and is an integral part of the CE mark..

Where an equipment class identifier has been assigned for radio equipment, this identifier must also be an integral part of the marking. An example of a CE mark for a radio equipment which uses non-harmonised radio spectrum is:

CE mark from BABT - CE 168 plus alert mark

Where "0168" is BABT's Notified Body followed by the alert mark to indicate the use of non-harmonised radio spectrum.

*The EEA includes the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania,Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom.
