JAHARP2021-06 – Radio Equipment Cars

Work Package Coordinator: PROSAFE, BE
Work Package Leader: CRPC, LV

SCOPE

The objective of this project is to ensure non-compliant radio equipment in cars are removed from the Single Market by supporting EU MSAs in their market surveillance activities with respect to EU harmonised legislation in the long-term. Furthermore, it aims to verify the compliance of the tested products with the applicable standards and requirements, and ensure enforcement of the applicable Union legislation regardless of whether products are placed on the market via offline, online or other means of distance sales and regardless of whether they are manufactured in the Union or not – that is, bringing products into conformity or removing them from the market.

OBJECTIVE

The main objectives of the work package are summarised as follows:
• Provide information on the state of compliance and safety in the market for radio equipment in cars;
• Identify and deal with non-compliant products, ensuring that unsafe products are brought into conformity or are withdrawn from the market;
• Identification and sharing of good practices;
• Reduce unfair competition resulting from the presence of non-compliant products on the market;
• Raise awareness among manufacturers, importers, distributors and other concerned stakeholders about the problems identified on the market, with a view to ensuring a durable improvement of the level of compliance and safety of the product;
• Increase the profile of market surveillance of radio equipment in cars.

PARTICIPANTS

7 Market Surveillance Authorities from the following 7 countries: Cyprus, Germany, Greece, Latvia, the Netherlands, Romania, and Switzerland (outside the framework of the Grant Agreement).
