Radio equipment that is placed on the EU market is presumed to meet the requirements. Market surveillance authorities such as BIPT ensure that only the radio equipment that is in conformity is placed on the market. However, the buyer must always be careful and check if the equipment he or she buys bears the CE marking and comes with the EU declaration of conformity of the manufacturer. If you buy equipment outside the European market, you may be considered as an importer. In that case, you must guarantee that the equipment is destined for the EU market and that it is in conformity with all the legal requirements.

In addition to those regarding radiocommunications, the use of drones is subject to other rules.

In order to use these communication systems without any interference a specific frequency needs to be assigned to each user; therefore, it is necessary to apply to BIPT for a licence. However, certain equipment is licence-exempt.

A radar is an installation made to search the surroundings for objects (targets) in the air, on land or at sea, by means of radio waves.

Any device which can emit and/or receive radio waves is a radio equipment. The legislation provides that radio equipment placed on the market (marketed) must comply with essential requirements: BIPT is tasked with the monitoring of the radio equipment marketed in Belgium. Market monitoring protects the consumer, contributes to fair competition and prevents the marketing of devices that may pose a risk to the population and/or cause harmful interference. additional restrictions may apply to radio equipment in a number of EU Member States.

Radio interference can disrupt and render impossible the proper operation of transmitters and/or receivers. The NCS service of the BIPT (the National Spectrum Monitoring Department) is responsible for "policing the radio waves". Cases of interference can be reported by post, telephone, fax or e-mail. Interference occurring in telephones should first be reported to your telephone operator.

The control of the standard for antennas is the exclusive responsibility of the Regions; each Region has entrusted an administration with this control.
