The Regulatory Authority for Electronic Communications and Postal Services (RATEL) in Serbia has introduced a new Rulebook on Radio Equipment, published on March 22, 2024. These regulations apply to all radio equipment but exclude categories like equipment for radio amateurs and those used in marine, aviation, and state security activities.
A key change is the transition from Serbian Certificates of Conformity (CoCs) to CE Marking, recognized in the EU. Starting June 1, 2024, new CoCs will be valid for five years. After December 31, 2026, Serbian CoCs will no longer be required, and from January 1, 2027, only the CE Mark will be necessary for radio products in Serbia.
The timeline for this transition includes:
– June 1, 2024: New regulations take effect.
– Until December 31, 2026: Existing CoCs can still be used.
– From January 1, 2027: CE Mark becomes the sole certification mark for the market.
This phased approach aims to ease the transition for manufacturers and suppliers.
