E-Book24 chapters # UK Radio Equipment Regulations Handbook A UK Radio Equipment Regulations 2017 handbook: who regulates what, essential requirements, designated standards, conformity assessment, UKCA marking and DoC. The reference you keep open on your desk while you actually run a compliance programme, not a video transcript you have to scrub back through to find one number. This book covers the same curriculum as the Krono Labs UK Radio Equipment Regulations course, restructured for reading, searching, and returning to mid-project. It starts from what actually counts as radio equipment and how Brexit reshaped a piece of law that predates it — the specific legislation, the three regulators involved, and the current state of designated standards. It then builds forward through the three essential requirements of regulation 6, choosing the right conformity assessment route, planning a genuine RF and EMC test programme, assembling a technical documentation file, writing a full or simplified UK Declaration of Conformity, applying UKCA marking correctly, and knowing exactly when a valid CE mark is recognised in Great Britain instead. The UK Responsible Person role, the genuine GB-EU cybersecurity divergence and the PSTI Act as GB's real answer to it, Northern Ireland's position under the Windsor Framework including its common charger rules, real enforcement failure patterns, and a full end-to-end worked walkthrough are all covered in depth, with reference tables and worksheets that go beyond what fits into narrated video. ## What you'll learn * Determine whether your product counts as radio equipment and scope it correctly from first principles * Apply the three essential requirements of regulation 6, including how conditional requirements get activated * Use UK designated standards correctly and track them as DSIT's notices update and retire them * Choose the right conformity assessment route — Module A, B and C, or H — and work with a UK Approved Body * Plan and interpret RF, EMC, safety, and RF exposure testing for a real wireless product * Build a complete technical file and issue a legally correct full or simplified UK Declaration of Conformity * Apply UKCA marking correctly and know exactly when a valid CE mark is recognised in Great Britain instead * Handle the GB-EU cybersecurity divergence, the PSTI Act, and Northern Ireland's separate EU-aligned regime $24.99 One-time purchase · Read in browser · No subscription * Determine whether your product counts as radio equipment and scope it correctly from first principles * Apply the three essential requirements of regulation 6, including how conditional requirements get activated * Use UK designated standards correctly and track them as DSIT's notices update and retire them Buy for $24.99 Secure checkout via Paddle Not what you expected?
