Richard,
* If the test methods you are using are harmonized to the RTTE Directive
then you do not need a Notified Body.
* If the frequency you are using is harmonized by all EU countries then you
do not need the "Alert "symbol (exclamation point in a circle).
1. Harmonized test methods and frequency = CE marking
2. Harmonized test methods and non-harmonized frequency = CE marking and
"Alert" symbol
3. Non-harmonized test methods and non-harmonized frequency = CE marking
and Notified Body number and "Alert" symbol
4. Use of TCF (same as 3.)
At this point in time, most of the test methods you will use are harmonized
to the RTTE Directive so you do not have to use a Notified Body to verify
your test methods. However, there are virtually no harmonized frequencies
so you will have to notify all of the Telecommunication Authorities of the
frequency that you intend to use so that they can make a judgement as to
its authorization and restriction within its country.

I previously used a Notified Body in the conformity process to the RTTE
Directive since only a draft radio standard existed at the time. However, a
harmonized standard now exists. I understand that I have two choices:
1) Continue to use the existing Declaration of Conformity to the essential
requirements of the RTTE, or
2) Issue a new Declaration in which we declare compliance with the
harmonized radio standard and make no mention of the participation of the
Notified Body.
Is my understanting correct?
