Course Description

This course provides a comprehensive overview of telecom certification processes, regulatory frameworks, and practical testing considerations for wireless and maritime communication equipment. Participants will gain deep insight into EU and international requirements, including ETSI, CEPT, and ITU standards, and engage in hands-on activities. Designed for professionals involved in product compliance, certification, and market entry, the course emphasizes both theoretical foundations and real-world application to navigate the complex landscape of radio equipment regulations.

Course Objectives

  • Understand the key telecom certification pathways
  • Identify essential market access requirements 
  • Interpret radio test reports 
  • Navigate the European regulatory ecosystem
  • Comprehend ITU maritime communication regulations
  • Compare international test report formats and requirements

Who Should Attend?

  • Product Certification and Regulatory Affairs Staff
  • Compliance Engineers
  • Test Laboratory Personnel
  • Import/Export Specialists

Course Details/Schedule

Day 1

  • Certification & Compliance Fundamentals
  • Understanding Telecom Certifications
  • Key differences between: Declaration of Conformity (DoC) & CE Certificate
  • EU-Type Examination Certificate
  • market access requirements.

Day 2

  • Testing & Accreditation
  • Radio Test Reports: Key parameters (e.g., RF power, spurious emissions).
  • Accredited Laboratories:
  • Lab Site Visit: Hands-on review of testing setups (e.g., radiated emissions, SAR).

Day 3

  • European Regulatory Landscape (ETSI & CEPT)
  • ETSI: Structure & Responsibilities
  • Governance: General Assembly, Technical Committees (TC-RES, TC-ERM).
  • Harmonized Standards (ENs) for RED (e.g., EN 300 328, EN 301 489).
  • SRD standards (e.g., EN 300 220, EN 303 204 for RFID).
  • Influence: Citation in OJEU → Presumption of conformity.
  • Collaboration with ETSI: CEPT allocates spectrum → ETSI develops technical standards.

Day 4

  • International Regulations (ITU & Maritime)
  • ITU Radio Regulations (RR)
  • Article 18: Ship station licensing requirements.
  • Article 19: Vessel identification (call signs, MMSI).
  • Appendix 18: Call sign allocations and frequency assignments for maritime.
  • Practical steps for ITU ship station registration process.
  • Any other related maritime topics.
  • Process of registration of ship station license in different countries at least turkey. And best practices.

Day 5

  • Practical Applications Workshops
  • Compare a test report (e.g., FCC vs. ETSI EN 303 413).
  • Q&A Session: Lab engineers + regulators (virtual/in-person).
  • Emerging Trends
  • 6 GHz Wi-Fi (ETSI EN 303 687).
  • AI in Radio Compliance (e.g., automated test suites).
