What are the specific certification requirements for signal boosters in the EU


In the European Union, signal boosters must adhere to regulations set by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) and the European Union to ensure they meet safety and performance standards[1]. These requirements include CE marking, which indicates compliance with EU safety and environmental standards[1]. Proper installation according to the manufacturer’s instructions is also mandatory[1]. Furthermore, devices must not exceed the power limits specified in EU regulations to prevent interference[1].

The Radio Equipment Directive (RED) 2014/53/EU establishes essential requirements for safety and health, electromagnetic compatibility, and efficient use of the radio spectrum[7]. Signal boosters must comply with the RED directive, and having European CE Certification and RED 2014/53/EU compliance is essential to avoid interference on mobile networks[9].
