Forgive my ignorance, but is this a licensing issue?
Can BSI do the testing, but not grant the operations license in the UK?
Radio Telecommunications equipment must be tested by a Notified Body, which
cannot provide the licensing. That has to come from the government. So is
it possible that BSI can do testing and approvals as a Notified Body, but
the licensing to connect the equipment to the network must come from the
NTR?
Quite honestly, I know nothing about this issue but am curious about the
administration of the Telecommunications requirements. Are they similar to
the Examination to Type and Type Approvals of the EMC Directive?

|
|Stumped again.
|
|The TTE says, and I have assumed that the transposition into UK law says
|the same, that:
|
|Article 5
|
|Member States shall not impede the placing on the market and the free
|circulation and use on their territory of terminal equipment which complies
|with the provisions of this Directive.
|
|
|
|Article 6
|
|1. Member States shall presume compliance with the essential
|requirements referred to in Article 4 (a) and (b) in respect of terminal
|equipment which is in conformity with the national standards implementing
|the relevant harmonized standards, the references of which have been
|published in the Official Journal of the European Communities. Member
|States shall publish the references of such national standards.
|
|I imagine that there are NTRs that are not encompassed by CTRs, describing
|UK network peculiarities from before the time that networks were digitized.
|
|I also am under the impression that CTRs as they are proclaimed, may be
|given a duplicate existence as national standards in a number of countries
|(to keep the standards boys busy ?)
|
|If the NTR is a CTR, than equipment that was tested and approved by BSI to
|a CTR that has a duplicate existence as an NTR in the UK, should not
|require to be tested again, to the same requirements, by BSI or any other
|Notified Body.
|
|If the equipment is from the luddite times, and BSI is not accredited to
|test or certify such equipment, of course it would have to go to a body
|that is accredited to do so.
|
|What am I misconceiving in this picture ??
|
|
|Ciao,
|
|
|Vic
|
|OR,
|
|does this refer to NTRs that reflect only pre-CTR conditions in the UK
|national
|telecommunications network ??
