Proposed revision of EU radio directive

List members in the EU may find this of interest:

The EC is proposing a new revision of the R&TTE directive, which governs
radio devices. In particular,

The proposal would also introduce some specific requirements, such as:

  • ensuring that software can only be used with radio equipment after the
    compliance of that
    particular combination of software and the radio equipment has been
    demonstrated;

On the other hand, it also says:

Verification by radio equipment of the compliance of its combination with
software
should not be abused in order to prevent its use with software provided by
independent
parties.
