(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Wireless Telegraphy (Exemption) Regulations 2003 (S.I. 2003/74) (the "principal Regulations").
Both the principal Regulations and these Regulations do not specify the detailed technical requirements directly, but instead refer to published interface requirements (IRs) where those technical requirements are fully set out.
Regulation 2 amends Part III (interface requirement) of Schedule 7 to the principal Regulations (PMR 446) to refer to the updated IR 2009, which makes provision for PMR 446 "walkie talkie" equipment using both analogue and digital technology.
Copies of IR 2009 referred to in these Regulations may be obtained from OFCOM at Riverside House, 2a Southwark Bridge Road, London SE1 9HA and available on the OFCOM website at http://www.ofcom.org.uk.
A full regulatory impact assessment and report of the effect that these Regulations will have on the costs to business is available to the public from the OFCOM Library at Riverside House, 2a Southwark Bridge Road, London SE1 9HA (Tel: 020 7981 3000) or on the OFCOM internet website at http://www.ofcom.org.uk. Copies of the regulatory impact assessment have also been placed in the libraries of both Houses of Parliament.
