The ITED REGIME

In a society where communications are taking on ever an increasing importance, it is fundamental to develop infrastructure that guarantees access to current and future services, in a way that is simple and effective.

ITED is the regime governing the planning and installation of telecommunications infrastructure in buildings and their links to the public telecommunications networks, as well as the activity of installation certification. It is regulated by Decree Law no. 59/2000 of 19 April and supported technically by the ITED Manual and associated procedures.

Since 1 January 2005 it has been mandatory that all planning of telecommunications in buildings are made in accordance with the ITED regime.

By creating conditions that facilitate the existence of broadband in new buildings, the ITED regime promotes competition between operators and the technological upgrade of the communications sector.

Follow each step in the implementation of an ITED plan and participate actively in this process!

1 - When planning the construction of a building, the property developer/owner must hire an ANACOM registered ITED designer, to develop the telecommunications plan.

Note: the list of technical ITED is available at www.anacom.pthttp://www.anacom.pt/render.jsp?categoryName=CATEGORY_ROOT&languageId=1

2 - The project must be submitted to the Municipal Council accompanied by designer's disclaimer, which waives prior appraisal by the municipal services. No later than three days after the issuance of the disclaimer, the designer should send a copy to ANACOM.

3 - Once the construction license is obtained and the implementation work started, the developer should manage contact between the designer, installer and certification authority (or installer-certifier), ensuring supervision of the works and compliance of the installation with the applicable standards.

Note: the list of certifying authority registered with Anacom is available at www.anacom.pthttp://www.anacom.pt/render.jsp?categoryName=CATEGORY_ROOT&languageId=1

4 - During the works, the installer will use equipment and materials that comply with the requirements contained in the ITED Manual. Following installation, the installer produces the report on the functioning tests, in which he/she may be aided by the certification authority.

5 - Upon completion of the installation, the certification authority conducts the appropriate tests, prepares the inspection report and issues the respective certificate of conformity.

6 - No later than 3 days after its issue, the certification authority must send a copy of the certificate of conformity to ANACOM. The original is given to the property developer/owner and a copy to the installer.

7 - The issuance by the Municipal Councils of the license to use the buildings is subject to the display of the ITED certificate of conformity.

8 - It is also essential to have the ITED certificate of conformity so that an operator can supply telecommunications services to the building (fixed telephone service, cable television service, etc.).
