This Recommendation oniy relates to levels 1 and 2 of free circuiation. Importance of Fre
2、e Circulation for LMSS The ERC has decided that one of its policy goals is to provide for the free circulation of radio equipment within CEPT member countries. Concerning land mobile-satellite communications, the number of users of LMSS terminals increased rapidly in recent years, in particular thos
3、e used by entities involved in the international transport of goods around Europe. Subsequently the free border-crossing and use of radio equipment is a fundamental factor to achieve the full development of commercial and industrial activities in CEPT member countries, thereby benefiting the consumr
4、s. Therefore, CER member countries have decided to establish regulatory mechanisms in order to enable foreign visitors to carry and use LMSS terminals without requiring a national licence. The same considerations would also apply to non-CEPT countries who may therefore also want to join in the free
5、circulation arrangements. Edition of 27 March, 1998 STD*CEPT CEPT/ERC/REC 21-15 E-ENGL 1978 232b414 0014812 bTO 9 CEPTIERCIREC 21-15 E Page 2 4 Need for the Recommendation in order to enable the free circulation and use of LMSS temiinals a number of Recommendations have been adopted in the past. As
6、a first step T/R 21-07 was introduced. That was a generic Recommendation which could be used for ail kinds of systems, but was in reality only used for LMSS. The procedure of this Recommendation was that a Circulation Card was issued to the holder of the terminal on which it was indicated in which c
7、ountries the terminal could enter and whether or not it could be used. Exchanging the required information between the participating administrations, keeping the information on the Circulation Card up to date and issuing the card to all persons requiring it was a lot of work, specially since there w
8、as at that moment in time no central office like the ER0 which could assist in these procedures. Therefore subsequently separate Recommendations deaiing with Imnarsat-C, EutelTRACS and Inmarsat -M terminals were produced (T/R 31-02, T/R 21-09 and T/R 21-11). These Recommendations did not require a C
9、irculation Card. A specific mark, which denoted that the terminai complied with the technical requirements of the system operator, was sufficient for free circulation and use. These last mentioned Recommendations were of a temporary nature. This was a condition for acceptance of the type testing per
10、formed by the satellite operators until European siandards covering LMSS terminais would have been finalised and accepted. The Recommendations were valid until end of December 1995. Aithough these Recommendations were intended to replace T/R 21-07 and the Circulation Card procedure, there are still
11、many administrations that require a Circulation Card. In 1995 an ERC Decision on free circuiation of radio equipment was adopted (ERCDEC/(95)01). This Decision covers Inmarsat-C, EutelTRACS and hmanat-M terminals and stipulates that the carriage and use of these terminals shall be allowed without re
12、quiring any kind of licence or registration in the country visited. However, since it is expected that the implementation of the Decision requires considerable time and the system specific Recommendations have expired since O1 January 1996, an arrangement safeguarding the free circulation of these t
13、emiinals until the Decision has been implemented in the vast majority of countries is considered necessary. When the Decision is implemented by nearly all CEPT countries this Recommendation might be reconsidered or used primarily for non-CEPT countries. 5 Procedure of the Recommendation Since - as m
14、entioned above - many adminishations still require a Circulation Card, this Recommendation provides the facility for administrations, either to require a Circulation Card or to allow the free circulation and use (level 2) on the basis of an appropriate CEE marking of the equipment. The terminals sho
15、uld in any case conform to the relevant ETSI standards. It is however obvious that free circulation and use (level 2) on the basis of marking alone is the preferred option, since it minimizes the administrative burden on users, operators and administrations. In fact, it is desirable to abandon the C
16、irculation Cards scheme in the future due to the practical and administrative dificulties that it implies and allow the free circulation and use (level 2) solely on the basis of an appropriate CEPT marking affixed on the equipment. Therefore and in order to achieve the above-mentioned objective, thi
17、s recommendation should be reviewed Edition of 27 March, 1998 CEPTIERUREC 21-15 E Page 3 within three years. The CEPT marking as defined in this Recomndation enables the free circulation and use (level 2) of terminais by visitors from other countries. This Recommendation does not affect the conformi
18、ty assessment procedures and the relevant marking regdations within the EEA, specially those emerging from the EC Directive 91/263/EEC extended by the EC Directive 93/97/EEC which cover Satellite Earth Station terminals. WO wili register and update the information from all CEPT countries whether fre
19、e circulation is based on the mkiug system or if, in addition, the Circulation Card is required. If necessary, the administrations should upon request enable LMSS users in their respective country to be issued with the circulation cards. Non-CEPT administrations who want to join the free circulation
20、 system shall apply to the CEST for participation. When the application is accepted the ER0 shall include the relevant information in a list in accordance with the Appendix II to this Recommendation.
