1. When placing their radio equipment on the market, manufacturers shall ensure that it has been designed and manufactured in
accordance with the essential requirements set out in Article 3.
2. Manufacturers shall ensure that radio equipment shall be so constructed that it can be operated in at least one Member State without
infringing applicable requirements on the use of radio spectrum.
3. Manufacturers shall draw up the technical documentation referred to in Article 21 and carry out the relevant conformity assessment
procedure referred to in Article 17 or have it carried out. Where compliance of radio equipment with the applicable requirements has been
demonstrated by that conformity assessment procedure, manufacturers shall draw up an EU declaration of conformity and affix the CE
marking.
4. Manufacturers shall keep the technical documentation and the EU declaration of conformity for 10 years after the radio equipment has
been placed on the market.
5. Manufacturers shall ensure that procedures are in place for series production to remain in conformity with this Directive. Changes in
radio equipment design or characteristics and changes in the harmonised standards or in other technical specifications by reference to
which conformity of radio equipment is declared shall be adequately taken into account.
When deemed appropriate with regard to the risks presented by radio equipment, manufacturers shall, to protect the health and safety of
end-users, carry out sample testing of radio equipment made available on the market, investigate, and, if necessary, keep a register of
complaints, of non-conforming radio equipment and radio equipment recalls, and shall keep distributors informed of any such monitoring.
6. Manufacturers shall ensure that radio equipment which they have placed on the market bears a type, batch or serial number or other
element allowing its identification, or, where the size or nature of the radio equipment does not allow it, that the required information is
provided on the packaging, or in a document accompanying the radio equipment.
7. Manufacturers shall indicate on the radio equipment their name, registered trade name or registered trade mark and the postal address
at which they can be contacted or, where the size or nature of radio equipment does not allow it, on its packaging, or in a document
accompanying the radio equipment. The address shall indicate a single point at which the manufacturer can be contacted. The contact
details shall be in a language easily understood by end-users and market surveillance authorities.
8. Manufacturers shall ensure that the radio equipment is accompanied by instructions and safety information in a language which can be
easily understood by consumers and other end-users, as determined by the Member State concerned. Instructions shall include the
information required to use radio equipment in accordance with its intended use. Such information shall include, where applicable, a
description of accessories and components, including software, which allow the radio equipment to operate as intended. Such instructions
and safety information, as well as any labelling, shall be clear, understandable and intelligible.
The following information shall also be included in the case of radio equipment intentionally emitting radio waves:
(a) frequency band(s) in which the radio equipment operates;
(b) maximum radio-frequency power transmitted in the frequency band(s) in which the radio equipment operates.
9. Manufacturers shall ensure that each item of radio equipment is accompanied by a copy of the EU declaration of conformity or by a
simplified EU declaration of conformity. Where a simplified EU declaration of conformity is provided, it shall contain the exact internet
address where the full text of the EU declaration of conformity can be obtained.
10. In cases of restrictions on putting into service or of requirements for authorisation of use, information available on the packaging shall
allow the identification of the Member States or the geographical area within a Member State where restrictions on putting into service or
requirements for authorisation of use exist. Such information shall be completed in the instructions accompanying the radio equipment.
The Commission may adopt implementing acts specifying how to present that information. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in
accordance with the advisory procedure referred to in Article 45(2).
