In short, 10 points taken from Directive

The transmitter must not generate harmful interference, and the emission of unwanted radio waves should be limited to a level that, the state of technological progress achieved, allows to avoid harmful interference.
The receiver, when this, It must possess a level of performance that allows a regular fuznionamento and protect him from the risk of harmful interference.
The receiver's reception capability is considered an important factor in ensuring the efficient use of spectrum: it must have an adequate resistance against harmful and unwanted interference signals.
Interoperability between radio equipment and accessories, for particular categories or classes, It must provide a standard (battery charger) in order to reduce the accumulation of electronic waste and unnecessary costs.
The protection of personal data and privacy of users of radio equipment as well as the protection of fraud, They must be improved through the development of appropriate features implemented in products.
Equipment must support access to emergency services and design must include development for easy use even by disabled people.
Ability to load or modify software only if the conformity of the equipment is not compromised.
Registration requirement for a centralized system of radio equipment to be placed on the market to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of market surveillance and to help raise the level of compliance with this Directive. This obligation entails additional burdens on economic operators and should therefore be introduced only for the categories of radio equipment for which you have not yet achieved a high level of compliance.
