The new directive will be implemented on June 13, 2016. Each member state must complete the legislative process by June 12, 2016. Radio equipment that has complied with the old directive before June 13, 2016 can still be sold on the market before June 13, 2017. That is, the transition period is 1 year. After June 13, 2017, only wireless devices assessed in accordance with the new RED 2014/53/EU will be allowed to be sold on the EU market. The previously implemented Radio Equipment and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive (Directive 1999/5/EC) will be abolished.
It is worth mentioning that TV and radio products that were not originally within the scope of the R&TTE directive have now been added to the RED directive, and EN 303 340 (DVB-T/T2) and EN 303 372 have been added to the latest version of the RED harmonized standard list. (DVB-S/S2) and other standards have added RF performance requirements for such products. Therefore, from June 13, 2017, products such as televisions, set-top boxes, and radios must comply with the RED directive.
