The Regulatory Authority for Electronic Communications and Postal Services (RATEL) will no longer perform conformity assessments for radio equipment starting January 1, 2025. This change aligns with Article 32, paragraph 4 of the Rulebook on Radio Equipment (Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia, No. 24/24). Until this date, RATEL will continue processing requests submitted before December 31, 2024.
Future Conformity Assessments
Following RATEL’s exit, designated conformity assessment bodies will take over the responsibilities. These bodies must meet the criteria outlined in the Regulation on Radio Equipment and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment (Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia, No. 11/12). Organizations seeking designation must submit requests to the competent authority per Article 32, paragraph 3 of the regulation.
Supervision and Compliance Requirements
Starting January 1, 2025, RATEL will focus on expert supervision of compliance with technical requirements for radio equipment. This change is based on Article 161 of the Law on Electronic Communications (Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia, No. 35/23) and the updated Rulebook on expert supervision procedures (Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia, No. 84/24).
