Sam, you may place RTTE compliant equipment on the market in any member
state without any changes. However, the equipment may not be placed in
service in a member state until and unless it complies with any additional
spectrum, interference and health and safety (EMF) requirements that a state
may impose according to Article 7(2). You have just discovered that Germany
has imposed non-harmonized spectrum requirements. My equipment has similar
problems in Germany, and my equipment cannot be used in Portugal since the
frequency is allocated to other equipment. You can find a summary of the
spectrum requirements of the CEPT members in CEPT Recommendation 70-03. The
document can be found at http://www.ero.dk/ <http://www.ero.dk/>  under
"documentation".

        Subject:  RTTE and Germany


        Group,
        As required by Article 6.4 of the R&TTE directive I made
notification to
        Germany of our intent to place our product on their market.  I
received a
        reply advising me that I must re-submit the notification declaring
        compliance to their national standard BAPT 222 ZV 126, in additon to
the
        essential requirements of the R&TTE Directive.  It is my
understanding that
        requiring me to declare compliance to their national standard, is in
        violation of the of the Directive.  I have 2 questions:

        1)  Is this in violation of the Directive?
        2)  Is BAPT 222 ZV 126 technically equivalent to ETS 300 328 for
which I
        used to declare compliance to the Directive?
