The EU Commission has published the Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/498 of 22 March 2022 amending Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/167 as regards harmonized standards for several types of radio equipment.

The new standards are relevant for the following equipment: avalanche beacons, satellite earth stations and systems, land mobile earth stations, maritime mobile earth stations, IMT cellular networks equipment, fixed radio systems, digital terrestrial TV transmitters, mobile communication on board aircraft systems, multi Gbps radio equipment, broadcast sound receivers, audio frequency induction loop drivers, primary surveillance radars and TETRA radio equipment.

The following standards have been declared as harmonized standards under the Radio Equipment Directive:
