Hi Amund, I am not familiar with this type of device, however if you have confirmed that all standards that apply to the device are harmonized under the directive, you are correct that you can apply Annex III of the directive without the assistance of a NB. You are correct again that since the frequency band is not harmonized throughout the EU, you must Notify each member state of your intention to place the product on their market. Since you are using non-harmonized frequency bands, you must also apply the alert symbol on your device alerting the user that there are restrictions to the use of this device in some countries. Those restrictions should be placed on your label and in the operators guide.

Product: Satellite transmitter/reveicer, KU-band (10-14GHz) 2. Harmonized standards exist As far as I understand, we do not need a NB for certification. Apply annex III and issue a DoC. If the product shall be put into marked in EU countries, which the KU-band is "not harmonized", a statement must be forwarded to the national authorities that the product soon will be introduced to the marked. Wait 4 weeks, no responds, you can go on selling. Am I right or am I totally ........ ? The last one, any WEB-site that describes the Harmonized Frequency bands ?
