Yes, Romania has one mandatory technical standard relating to measurements methods and
limits of the radio disturbances characteristics as concerns the Information Technology equipment.This standard is harmonized with CISPR 22.
3. What conformity assessment procedures, either in respect of the product or the
manufacturing process, does your government require for approval of information technology
products (electro-magnetic compatability (EMC ), electrical safety, telecommunications and
radio terminal equipment, and other areas)?
May suppliers perform these procedures (e.g. testing, declaration of conformity), or
must third parties perform these procedures?
What international guidelines or standards, if any, are those procedures based on?
