I have read conflicting information in this regard. One camp says that you
are free to market if there is no response. The other camp says that you are
free to market but you are still responsible for ensuring that the equipment
complies with the state's requirements.

At least you are not receiving rejections after 5 months!

        Subject:  RTTE Notification Acknowledgments


        Hi Group,
        From http://www.radio.gov.uk/:  
        "Article 6.4 of the Radio Equipment and Telecommunications Terminal
        Equipment (R&TTE) Directive 1999/5/EC requires that radio equipment
using
        frequency bands whose use is not harmonised throughout the Community
shall
        be notified to the relevant national spectrum management authorities
at
        least four weeks before it is placed on their market."
        Although not specifically stated above or in the Directive, it is my
        understanding that upon acknowledgment of the notification or after
4 weeks
        has elapsed since the notification with no response, whichever comes
first,
        the manufacturer is free to place the product on the market.  
        If my understanding is correct, why then am I getting these
acknowledgments
        5 months after making the notification?
