RADIO AND TELECOM APPROVALS

The key legislative and regulatory measure for radio and telecom approval in Slovakia is the Telecommunications Law Slovakia (Law No. 110/1964 Coll.) adopted on July 1, 1964 and amended respectively in 1992, 1993 and 1995.

The testing, type approval and certification of equipment for radio and telecommunications are under the administration of the Post and Telecommunications Research Institute of the Ministry of Transport, Posts and Telecommunications.

Before 1 January 2000, all domestic and imported goods were subject to compulsory certification. The list of regulated products used to be published in the Bulletin of the Slovak Institute for Normalization, Metrology and Testing. Exporters of EU goods to Slovakia would object the fact that certain goods, which were not regulated products in the EU, were subject to compulsory certification in Slovakia. This concerned mainly foodstuffs, cosmetics, covering material, textiles and shoes.

According to law No. 264/99, valid as from 1 January 2000, the basic principle for traders is a judgment stating whether their product or imported goods is considered a regulated product or not. Regulated products cannot be offered on the market in the Slovak Republic unless compliance with the appropriate legal requirements is assessed. The description of the goods defined as regulated products can be found in the Slovak Government enactments as well as in the attachments to the different government enactments concerning regulated products. The total number of government regulations is to reach 24. These are being elaborated progressively and will be published by the end of the year 2002.

At the beginning of year 2002 Slovenia and Slovakia transposed the R&TTE Directive (1999/05/EC) into their national laws. However, this transposition only applies to some type of equipment such as WLAN and Bluetooth products.

The main difference with respect to the EU countries is that the TCF holder should be located in the country and should sign the Declaration of Conformity.

Concerning the labeling, Slovenia accepts the CE marking whereas Slovakia does not. Slovakia requests a national marking (CSK).
