Regulation 2(2) of the principal regulations shall be Amends regulation
amended as follows
(a) immediately after the definition “EASA” there
shall be added the following new definition
“ “electronic communications network” has the
same meaning as defined in article 2 of the Act which
network is used for the provision of publicly available
electronic communications services including sound and
television broadcasting;”;
(b) immediately after the definition “harmonised
standard” there shall be added the following new definition
“ “ICNIRP ” means International Commission on
Non-Ionising Radiation Protection;”; and
(c) immediately after the definition “R&TTE
Regulations” there shall be added the following new
definition
“ “RF worker ” means any person acting for or on
behalf of an undertaking who may be or is exposed to
radio frequency (RF) radiation as a direct and necessary
requirement of his work;”.
In regulation 3 of the principal regulations, for the words
“buy, sell, have in his possession or under his control, install and
operate” there shall be substituted the words “install or use”.
Regulations 5 to 9 of the principal regulations shall be
renumbered as regulations 6 to 10 thereof.
Immediately after regulation 4 of the principal regulations
there shall be added the following new regulation
“Exposure to electromagnetic fields.
5. (1) Any person enjoying a general authorisation
for any radiocommunications apparatus to which these
regulations apply shall comply with any radiation emission
standards adopted and published by ICNIRP or any other
appropriate standards as may be specified by law or by the
Authority.
(2) Any person enjoying a general authorisation for any
radiocommunications apparatus to which these regulations
apply shall comply with any decision however so described
issued by the Authority in relation to electromagnetic radiation
and shall ensure that all its radiocommunications apparatus at
all times comply with the technical and performance standards
generally accepted by the industry or as may be prescribed by
the Authority in line with national and European Union law,
or accepted by the Authority as being adequate to ensure the
limitation of exposure of the general public to electromagnetic
fields.
(3) Any person enjoying a general authorisation for any
radiocommunications apparatus to which these regulations
apply shall ensure that its radiocommunications apparatus is
not installed or operated at a location and in a manner such
as to be the cause of the aggregate non-ionising radiation
emissions exceeding the limits published by the ICNIRP or
any other appropriate standards as may be specified by law or
by the Authority.”.
Immediately after regulation 10 as renumbered of the
principal regulations, there shall be added the following new
regulations
(1) An undertaking which intends to install
radiocommunications apparatus comprised in a wireless
electronic communications network shall, before doing so,
submit to the Authority a detailed report demonstrating the
calculated or measured background levels of electromagnetic
fi e l d s a n d t h e p r e d i c t e d i n c r e a s e i n t h e l e v e l s o f
electromagnetic fields in any areas accessible to the general
public and to RF workers respectively
Provided that the said detailed report shall also
include such technical information as the Authority may
require.
(2) An undertaking shall, by not later than fourteen
days following the installation and bringing into operation
of radiocommunications apparatus comprised in a wireless
electronic communications network, notify such installation
and operation to the Authority
Provided that a modification to any of the
characteristics of such installation shall also be subject
to the same notification requirement.
(3) The notification under sub-regulation (2) shall be in
such form as the Authority may from time to time determine
and shall as a minimum include the following
(a) information on the installation location,
including site address, geographical location, height of
site above sea level and antenna height above ground
level;
(b) contact information of the owner of the site
where the installation is located;
(c) information on the type of radiocommuni-
cations apparatus and antennas;
(d) technical information of the transmission
emanating from the radiocommunications apparatus
comprised in a wireless electronic communications
network, including operating frequency, maximum
conducted transmitting power, antenna gain, maximum
effective radiated power, antenna radiation pattern and
modulation scheme;
(e) information on the antenna setup such
as antenna tilting (electrical and mechanical) and
orientation; and
(f) a report showing compliance with regulation
5 of Part II of these regulations.
(1) The installation of radiocommunications
apparatus comprised in a wireless electronic communications
network at sites not owned by the undertaking, shall contain
adequate signage to identify the undertaking and the relevant
contact information.
(2) Undertakings shall place warning signs in clearly
visible locations to provide information to the general public
and, or to RF workers about the nature and degree of the
radio frequency hazard and the appropriate safety actions to
be followed.
(3) The operation of any radiocommunications
apparatus comprised in a wireless electronic communications
network in a manner which causes the field strength levels at
any area to potentially approach or exceed the general public
exposure limits referred to in regulation 5 of Part II of these
regulations, shall require undertakings to identify and clearly
demarcate the said area”.
8. The First Schedule to the principal regulations shall be
amended as follows
(a) in paragraph 1 thereof the words “buying, selling
or having in his possession or under his control, or installing
and operating” shall be substituted with the words “installing
or using”; and
(b) in paragraph 4 thereof the words “must be capable
of operating only” shall be substituted with “shall operate
