Frequently asked questions

Do communications engineers also handle radio approval?

Many accompany approval under the Radio Equipment Directive: test plan, preparing the measurements in the accredited lab and evaluation. The lab does the measurements itself. Experience with the ETSI standards for your frequency range is the most important criterion.
