The EU Radio Equipment Directive, UK Radio Equipment Regulations & FCC Wireless Requirements
Understanding the requirements of the key wireless regulatory regimes, the EU RED, the UK RER and the FCC Wireless Requirements is essential when you are designing products that implement wireless and RF technology.
The one-day course discusses the essential requirements of each of these regimes and how you can implement these, ensuring that your products are compliant and can be placed on the market.
