6. 6 Directives & regulations How can ETSI help?

7. 7 What is ETSI? European Telecommunications Standards Institute European Standards Organisation (98/34/EC) Association of Industry players… … with direct participation …manufacturers, network operators, service providers, administrations, users, industry associations…

8. 8 Directives & regulations (equipment) Radio & Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive (1999/5/EC)

9. 9 What does a manufacturer need to do? Meet the “essential requirements”  health & safety  electromagnetic compatibility  avoidance of harmful interference (radio equipment only)  possibly others, if invoked by the Commission Carry out « essential radio test suites » Inform member state (if using non-harmonised radio spectrum) Meet national radio interface regulations Declare conformity

10. 10 How can ETSI help (1/3)? Harmonised Standards Harmonized Standards?? Are there any others? How do I meet essential requirements?

11. 11 Other essential requirements  Access to emergency services (3.3e)  Ships using inland waterways (EC Decision 2000/637/EC)  Marine distress & safety equipment (EC Decision 2004/71/EC)  Marine Identification System (EC Decision 2003/213/EC)  Avalanche beacons (EC Decision 2001/148/EC)

12. 12 Harmonised Standards Where apparatus meets the relevant harmonised standards or parts thereof whose reference numbers have been published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, Member States shall presume compliance with those of the essential requirements referred to in Article 3 as are covered by the said harmonised standards or parts thereof. [Article 5.1]

13. 13 Harmonised Standards  European Standards (EN)  Produced under a mandate from the European Commission  And adopted by Member States (98/34 committee)  Implement essential requirements of a « New Approach » Directive (e.g. R&TTE, EMC)  Adopted by National Standards Organisations  Cited in the Official Journal of the European Union  Member states required to presume conformity

14. 14 Harmonised Standards Mandate M/284 Identify technical requirements necessary to meet regulatory objective (essential requirements) Identify « essential radio test suites » necessary before placing on the market Standardise aspects not relevant to the Directive separately Only the part of the standard relevant to the Directive is cited in the OJEU

15. 15 Harmonised Standards MSG: GSM DECT: DECT TETRA: TETRA ERM/MSG TFES: IMT-2000 TM4: Fixed Radio Links SES: Satellite Earth Stations ERM: Land-mobile radio, Amateur Radio, Citizens’ Band, RFID (ERM TG34) ERM: 2,45 GHz RLAN BRAN: HIPERACCESS, 5 GHz RLAN

16. 16 Harmonised Standards ERM: Marine radio, Short-range devices (ERM TG28), Paging, Cordless telephones, Radar, Medical Implants, Road Transport & Traffic Telematics ERM: Electromagnetic Compatibility, Meteorological Aids, Avalanche Beacons, Ultra Wide Band (ERM TG31a), Broadcast transmitters, professional audio/video

17. 17 Harmonised Standards Co-ordinated by OCG Steering Committee OCG_RTTED

18. 18 How can ETSI help (2/3)? Harmonised Frequencies …working with CEPT How do I meet national radio interface regulations?

19. 19 Radio Spectrum Access Recommendation or Decision on spectrum allocation Harmonised Standard ETSI CEPT CEPT-ETSI MoU National licence regimes plus interface regulations

20. 20 CEPT - ETSI MoU Working Groups (adopting) Project Teams (drafting) ETSI Member ETSI Liaison Officer Overall ETSI view Individual view Decision on spectrum ETSI CEPT

21. 21  Basic description of application  Simple technical description  Current ETSI standards  Justified spectrum requirements  Possible compatibility issues  Market forecasts  Traffic evaluation  Economic/social benefit  Market window  Requested action from CEPT Proforma EG 201 788 System Reference Document Spectrum: How do we get an ETSI view?

22. 22 SRDoc to CEPT System Reference Document TC ERM Spectrum: How do we get an ETSI view? Affected ETSI TBs Is there consensus? Have all interested parties been consulted? Resolution by members of affected TBs

23. 23 Example: 2W RFID working at UHF Proposed modification to annex 11 of CEPT/ECC/Rec 70-03 EN 302 208 Harmonised Standard ETSI CEPT National licence regimes plus interface regulations TR 101 445 SRDoc

24. 24 How can ETSI help (3/3)? Harmonised Frequencies …working with the European Commission… National frequency allocations What about legal certainty? I want global markets! …Radio Spectrum Decision 676/2002/EC

25. 25 The problem… Inform user of national restrictions on use Inform member state 4 weeks before marketing equipment Manufacturer needs to know local frequency regulations Frequencies are managed on a national basis: CEPT Recommendations not enforceable at a European level

26. 26 The Radio Spectrum Decision Radio Spectrum Policy Group Member states advise EC on spectrum requirements to support EU policy initiatives European Parliament, CEPT and ETSI as permanent observers e.g. Broadband Access Road Safety Access for people with disabilities

27. 27 The Radio Spectrum Decision Radio Spectrum Committee European Commission requests CEPT to provide frequency allocations in support of EU policies CEPT output codified into a Commission Decision Legal certainty ! CEPT and ETSI are permanent observers

28. 28 The Radio Spectrum Decision Spectrum Tables Member States to notify National Frequency regulations to the Commission Comission to publish in a common format National regulations to be transparent, even if not harmonised

29. 29 The Radio Spectrum Decision International Negotiations World Radio Conference (WRC) CEPT will continue to establish European Common Positions Commission to communicate with Parliament & Council for political support Aim for global harmonisation where possible

30. 30 Example: automotive short-range radar Radio Spectrum Committee Request (mandate) to CEPT on frequencies for UWB vehicle radar at 24 GHz CEPT/ECC Decision (04)10 ETSI Harmonised Standard EN 302 288 (Jan 2005) Commission Decision 2005/50/EC (Jan 2005) Legal certainty for placing on the market and use

31. 31 Directives & regulations (networks and services) Framework Directive (2002/21/EC) Authorisation Directive (2002/20/EC) Access Directive (2002/19/EC) Privacy Directive (2002/58/EC) Universal Service Directive (2002/22/EC) Regulation (2887/2000) Unbundled access to the local loop

32. 32 How can ETSI help? Framework Directive? OCG ECNS List of Standards (article 17) to « encourage » harmonisation …may be made compulsory for interoperability (article 17) or access (Access Dir. Art 5.2) COCOM subgroup reviewing results Mandate M/328 STF 254 SR 002 211

33. 33 How can ETSI help? Standards for interoperability of iDTV (article 18) Mandate M/331 STF 255 Interactive digital TV? EBU/CENELEC/ETSI JTC Broadcast Standards to follow TR 102 282

34. 34 How can I contribute?  Membership of ETSI is open to any organisation with an interest in telecommunications (European or not)  Harmonised Standards produced by Technical Committees of experts drawn from members  Funded Specialist Task Forces to accelerate critical work  Public Approval Process managed by National Standards Organisations
