About the radio equipment regulations

The Radio Equipment Regulations (SI2017/1206) covers the safety and performance requirements for all wireless communications and radio equipment placed on the market in Great Britain.

The UK Radio Equipment Regulations apply to all equipment placed on the market in Great Britain that uses the radio spectrum below 3THz for communication and for radiodetermination. The regulations apply to both transmitters and receivers.  This means that if you manufacture any product that transmits or receives radio frequencies over the air your product will almost certainly be subject to the Regulations.

This includes connected devices such as those that transmit and receive radio signals including WiFi and Bluetooth devices. This could include medical devices, fire detection and suppression products, or many other products used throughout the built environment.
