RTTE Notification Form (html)

Notification to Ofcom In Accordance With Section 12 Of S.I. 2000/730 And Article 6.4 Of Directive 1999/5/EC

Fields marked with * are required.

1. Name of the individual submitting the notification

This may be the responsible person or an employee or other agent of the responsible person. See 2. below for a definition of responsible person.




2. Name and address of the responsible person who is notifying the equipment.

Responsible person means the manufacturer of the apparatus or his authorised representative within the European Community, or any other person who places the apparatus on the market.

The responsible person does not necessarily have to be resident in the European Community.

The name given here would normally be the company or organisation’s name rather than the name of an individual.










* This field is Mandatory. This email address will be used to acknowledge receipt of your notification


3. Name and address of the manufacturer (in cases where details of the organisation given in 2. above are not those of the manufacturer)











Section B - Equipment Details

4. Equipment identification (type designation)

This should be the type number that appears on the equipment and/or packaging (in accordance with article 12.4 of Directive 1999/5/EC and regulation 10(3) of S.I. 2000/730 as amended). More commonly this would be known as the model number or model name of the equipment.


5. Intended use/purpose of the equipment

This should be a brief description of the intended use or purpose of the equipment as defined by the manufacturer or “responsible person”. For instance: GSM Cellular Base Station; Microwave Fixed Link Equipment, Asset Tracking System; Private Mobile Radio Handset; etc. Where it is not obvious from this description you should also indicate the type of traffic that your equipment is designed to convey (e.g. voice, data, video, etc).


6. Frequency band or bands over which the equipment is intended to operate


7. Type of modulation

This should be the type of modulation employed (e.g. amplitude modulation, frequency modulation, phase modulation, digital modulation, etc). If digital modulation the modulation scheme should be quoted (e.g. 4 QAM, 16 QAM, QPSK, etc.)


8. Channel spacing

For channelised equipment this should be the frequency separation between adjacent channels (e.g. 25 kHz, 20 kHz, 12.5 kHz, 6.25 kHz, 5 kHz, etc). Where appropriate, the relative position of individual channels within the frequency band should also be indicated.


9. Designation of emission

This should be the ITU Classification of emission and necessary bandwidth. Emissions are coded internationally using seven characters for their basic parameters and two optional characters for further details of the signal. Ofcom information sheet OfW84 provides guidance and the definitions are defined in the ITU Radio Regulations in Appendix S1.


10. Transmit RF power or power range

This should be the RF power or power range over which the equipment is intended to operate. This should also indicate whether this is the conducted power at an antenna socket or radiated power from an antenna. In the case of radiated power this should also indicate what this power is relative to (e.g. erp or eirp).


11. Duty cycle (if applicable)

Duty cycle describes the relative proportion of time during which the transmitter is operational. This can be quoted as either a percentage of transmitter on/off time or actual transmitter on/off times.


12. Channel access protocol (if applicable)

Channel access protocol describes the protocol used to control or manage access to frequency channels that is employed by the equipment (e.g. CTCSS, DCS, TDMA, FDMA, DS-CDMA, FH-CDMA, etc).


13. Duplex direction (if applicable)

This should state simplex, ½ duplex or duplex operation. If duplex please quote, where applicable, transmit and receive frequencies and/or duplex split.


14. Antenna type

This should describe the type of antenna used by the equipment including, where appropriate, the antenna class and gain.

Please note: details of the actual measured antenna pattern are useful for optimising individual fixed link frequency assignments. Manufacturers of fixed link antennas are recommended to provide details of antenna performance direct to our Fixed Terrestrial Links Team.


Section C - Conformity Details

15. Reference standard or other specification

Where you have designed your product to comply with a particular reference standard or other recognised specification for spectrum management purposes (i.e. for frequency planning purposes and in defining the equipment type) you should list this standard or specification. This may be a Harmonised Standard or other applicable national or international standard or specification.

You may also wish to quote a UK Radio Interface Requirement where you know your equipment satisfies its requirements.


16. Notified body numbers (if applicable)

This should list the identification numbers of all notified bodies that have been involved with the conformity assessment of the equipment.
