SURVEY ON EMC/ EMI
Replies to the Survey
Communication from Romania
The following communication, dated 19 May 2003, has been received from the Permanent
Mission of Romania.
_______________
1. (a) Does your government have mandatory technical requirements for
electromagnetic interference of Information Technology equipment?  If so, please
identify.
The R&TTE and EMC Directives transposed as Government Decisions regulate EMC and
EMI aspects in Romania in the same way as in European Union.  These Directives lay down
general and essential safety and protection requirements with which products must comply.
The list of harmonized standards published in the Official Journal was transposed through
order submitted by the Minister of Communications and Information Technology.  The use of
standards is voluntary and manufacturers are free to seek other technical solutions.
(b) Are these requirements harmonized with CISPR 22?  If not, please explain the
current requirements.
Romanian standard SR EN 55022:2001 is harmonized with CISPR 22.
2. (a) Does your government have mandatory technical requirements for
electromagnetic immunity of Information Technology equipment?  If so, please identify.
The Governmental Decision that transposes EMC and EMI directives also regulates
immunity.
(b) Are these requirements harmonized with CISPR 24?  If not, please explain the
current requirements.
Romanian standard SR EN 55024: 2001 is harmonised with CISPR 24.G/IT/SPEC/Q4/25

3. (a) What conformity assessment procedure for electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC/EMI), which includes both interference and immunity, does your government
require for approval of information technology products?
The Governmental Decision 88/2003 and the Governmental Decision 497/May 9, 2003 that
transpose the directives are based on manufacturers declaration of conformity without the
need to seek approval from public authority or a recognised private body.  When a
manufacturer has not applied harmonized standards or these are not available, 3rd party
opinion is needed.
(b) May suppliers perform these procedures (e.g. testing, declaration of conformity),
or must third parties perform these procedures?
When a manufacturer has not applied harmonized standards or these are not available,
3rd party opinion is needed.
(c) What international guidelines or standards, if any, are those procedures based
on?  If not, what guidelines or standards are they based on ?
Romanian standards are aligned with European guidelines and standards (e.g. SR ISO 17025).
4. Has your regulatory authority received any complaint or had any problems regarding
the EMC/EMI aspects of the approved information technology products?  If yes, how
frequent?  And please identify the nature of the complaint/problem.
No, there are no complaints received.
