Telecommunications equipment distributors: 3-month deadline to implement Chapter VI of R.D. 188/2016

Royal Decree 192/2026 adds Chapter VI to R.D. 188/2016, establishing new requirements for the marketing authorisation of telecommunications equipment following the transposition of Articles from Directives (EU) 2024/2749 and (EU) 2024/2839. This change requires companies to comply with new CE marking and conformity assessment procedure requirements, with a 3-month adaptation period from the date of entry into force.

In 2 key points

  1. Chapter VI of R.D. 188/2016 regarding marketing authorisation is added (art. 2.1)
  2. Articles 9 and 4 of Directives (EU) 2024/2749 and (EU) 2024/2839 are transposed (art. 2.1)

How it affects those involved

Companies marketing telecommunications equipment must update their authorisation and compliance processes, particularly regarding CE marking and conformity assessment. Advisors should integrate these new requirements into their services. Competent authorities may exercise increased market surveillance. Manufacturers and distributors face a higher risk of non-compliance if they fail to act within the established timeframe.
