(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Wireless Telegraphy Apparatus (Low Power Devices) (Exemption) Regulations 1989 ( "the 1989 Regulations") and the Wireless Telegraphy Apparatus (Low Power Devices) (Exemption) Regulations 1991 ( "the 1991 Regulations").
The 1989 Regulations and the 1991 Regulations exempt persons installing or using wireless telegraphy of a description set out in their respective Schedules from the requirement in section 1(1) of the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1949 of obtaining from the Secretary of State a licence for installation and use of such wireless telegraphy.
First, these Regulations amend the 1989 Regulations by:
(a)ensuring that the exemption of an item of apparatus is not removed unless the specific type approval for the apparatus is withdrawn (regulation 2(a)); and
(b)substituting for the table in paragraph 2 of the Schedule to the 1989 Regulations (field disturbance and Doppler apparatus) the table set out in the Schedule to these Regulations to update the descriptions of low power device apparatus referred to (regulation 2(b)).
Secondly, these Regulations amend the 1991 Regulations by:
(a)deleting Part II of the Schedule to remove the exemption of Cordless Local Area Network Apparatus from the licensing provisions of section 1(1) of the 1949 Act with the effect that such apparatus will be subject to those provisions (regulations 3(a));
(b)ensuring that the exemption of an item of apparatus is not removed unless the specific type approval for the apparatus is withdrawn (regulation 3(b)); and
(c)by adding cordless audio apparatus to the categories of exempt low power devices. These devices are designed or adapted to provide the connection between audio equipment by means of a short range radio link (regulation 3(c)).
1949 c. 54; there are amendments to section 1(1) not relevant to these Regulations.
