The (EU) 2022/2380 directive, also known as the Radio Equipment Directive (RED), sets standards for radio equipment requiring the use of USB Type C

The (EU) 2022/2380 and 2014/53/EU are two European Union directives that relate to radio equipment and electromagnetic compatibility.

The (EU) 2022/2380 directive, also known as the Radio Equipment Directive (RED), sets standards for radio equipment, including the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and safety requirements for radio equipment. It was adopted in 2014 and became effective on June 13, 2016. The directive was updated in December 2021 with the publication of (EU) 2022/2380, which amends the original directive and provides further clarifications and guidance.

The (EU) 2014/53/EU directive, also known as the Radio Equipment Directive (RED), is a directive that sets standards for radio and telecommunications terminal equipment. It was adopted in 2014 and became effective on June 13, 2016. The directive establishes the essential requirements for equipment that operates within certain frequency ranges and includes provisions for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and safety.

Both directives are important for manufacturers of radio and telecommunications equipment that are sold or used within the European Union. These directives require manufacturers to ensure that their products meet certain standards for EMC and safety, and to affix the CE marking to their products to indicate compliance with the relevant directives. The directives also provide guidance and requirements for the conformity assessment procedures that manufacturers must follow to ensure compliance with the directives.
