10. RE Directive Conundrum
October 2016
RE Directive Conundrum
The transition has already started
RED in effect as of June 13, 2016
R&TTE expires June 12, 2017
After June 2017, all devices must meet the RED requirements, i.e. R&TTE certifications during the transition must be re-certified
Following the deadline, ALL equipment to be placed on the EU market must meet the RED provisions
It appears that EN will not be not published in time
Process requires Notified Bodies be employed to enable shipment
Current situation will overwhelm the process
Multiple efforts underway to mitigate the situation
Digital Europe proposes legal solution
Discussion at next TCAM meeting on extending R&TTE
