Manufacturer obligations

Er zijn een aantal verplichtingen voor fabrikanten:

There are a few obligations for manufacturers:

• Indication of Frequencies and Transmit Power: The manufacturer must explicitly state the frequencies and transmit power in the manual so that the user knows what rules apply to the device.
• Fixed Antenna: The walkie-talkie must have a fixed, non-removable antenna. This prevents users from replacing the antenna with a higher gain antenna, which could lead to violation of regulatory power limits.
• CE marking and Declaration of Conformity: The product must have a CE marking, indicating that it complies with European safety, health and environmental regulations. In addition, a Declaration of Conformity must be available, in which the manufacturer confirms that the product complies with the relevant EU directives.
• Manual: A manual must be included that is in Dutch or English.
