G'Day (again)! Err, no! I was talking about the even newer regulations which come/came into force this year, i.e SI 2006/3418 <http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2006/uksi_20063418_en.pdf>. A quick word search reveals no mention of military equipment?
Regards Alan From: [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday 06 February 2007 09:12 To: Hudson, Alan (UK) Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: New UK EMC Directive Not Quite! See SI 2005 No 281 (http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2005/20050281.htm#19) as below: "Military equipment 19. - (1) These Regulations do not apply to military equipment. (2) In this regulation, "military equipment" means apparatus which is designed for use as arms, munitions or war material within the meaning of Article 223.1(b) of the Treaty establishing the European Community (notwithstanding that it may be capable of other applications), but does not include apparatus which is designed both for such use and for other applications." Also we have lost the need to apply to The Secretary of State for Defense for specific exemptions. BTW: remember that, according to the Directive 2004/108/EC itself, application is optional from 20 July 2007 and compulsory from 21 July 2009. Therefore the existing rules can be applied until the latter date if you want - although I can't yet find that specifically in SI 2005 No 281. Also, note that, unlike many other, more modern format, New Approach Directives, 89/226/EEC and 2004/108/EC do not actually include the wider scope of exemptions including equipment for police and state security purposes.
