Dave Heald -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Police radar gun Date: Fri, 8 Jun 2001 18:20:59 -0400 From: "Glenn Robb" <[email protected]> Reply-To: <[email protected]> Organization: Research Triangle Compliance Engineering To: <[email protected]> I am researching EN standards for a unusual electronic product. A US company wants to sell their "police radar gun" in Europe. Specifically, I am not sure how the R&TTE directive applies. It is a hand held radar speed detector, primarily for police automotive use. From the R&TTE Directive ... CHAPTER I, GENERAL ASPECTS, Article 1, Scope and aim 5. This Directive shall not apply to apparatus exclusivelyused for activities concerning public security,defence, State security (including the economic wellbeingof the State in the case of activities pertaining toState security matters) and the activities of the State in thearea of criminal law.It would seem that an exemption could be claimed due to the police / security use of this device. Buyers may not always be police, but would likely include other types of automobile traffic management persons, such as airport authorities, or security companies. Also, the device is not a radio or a communications device per the Directive ... Article 2, Definitions (c) `radio equipment" means a product, or relevantcomponent thereof, capable of communication bymeans of the emission and/or reception of radiowaves utilising the spectrum allocated to terrestrial/space radiocommunication; What does the forum think ??
