Background

The radio spectrum is a scarce resource, whose use is the repeated target of regulatory and legislative measures, at both a European and national level, aiming to regulate and discipline its use. These measures stipulate conditions governing the use of radio and other equipment which have a bearing on the spectrum's efficient use. The goal, therefore, has been to establish a set of technical rules to determine efficient use of the spectrum and define the requirements applicable to radio equipment.

It is therefore vital to have a Laboratory in Portugal with capacity to check that such equipment is compliant with the essential requirements to which it is subject when placed in the market, as well as the requirements which result from their entry into operation, in the framework of the R&TTE Directive (D. L. no. 192/2000 of 18 August) and EMC Directive (D.L. no. 325/2007 of 28 September).
