Tunis, march 21, 2014

The Association Agreement between Tunisia and

the European Union:

– Aims to establish a free trade area between

Tunisia and the EU.

– Enter into action after the signing of the

Agreements on Conformity Assessment and

Acceptance of industrial products (ACAA).

Context

ACAA signing

The signing of mutual recognition requires:

• The use by Tunisia of technical rules of the European Community relating to the quality of industrial products.

• The establishment of a regulatory framework,

• The establishment of a system of conformity assessment:

– Measurement laboratories (EMC, LVD, etc.)

– Metrology labs,

– Etc ...

• Creating structures for market surveillance.

Objectives

This project aims to:

• Improve the competitiveness of Tunisian industry,

• Protect the Tunisian consumer,

• Protect the electromagnetic environment,

• Apply quality systems as national requirement and in

export operations of industrial products,

Activity of the laboratory

• Industry support (pre / full compliance)

– Compliance verification before marketing

– Technical advice, training and expertise

– Technical assistance

– Engineering

– Professional training

• Market control:

– CERT is a governmental entity

– Implementation of Legal and administrative structures of market

control (in progress)

– Baseline 10 meters distance of measures

– accreditation required

New approach directives

• Directives are text of laws

• Prescribe essential requirements (Health, safety, EMC, etc)

• Manufacturer self declaration

• CE label as indication of compliance

• European directives

– Essential requirements = minimum requirements

• For R&TTE equipments, we can add

– Performance testing

– Interoperability testing

R&TTE directive

• Terminal access requirements have been removed: fixed

network terminal equipment therefore only needs to comply

with

Health and Safety requirements:

– Health : as per EMF recommandation 1999/519/CE

– Safety : as per Directive 2006/95/CE (LVD) but with the lower limit removed. (Article 3.1)

EMC requirements: as per Directive 2004/108/CE (Article 3.1)

Radio equipment needs to effectively use the spectrum and not

cause harmful interference. (Article 3.2)

12

Example: Bluetooth & Wifi

Applied standards

• Radio : EN 300 328 + ERC 70-03 recommandation

• EMC : EN 301 489-17 & EN 301 489-01

• Safety: EN 60950

• Health : EN 50364

Cooperation with ITU

Workshop conformance and interoperability“C&I”

November 2012

Training Session on conformance and interoperability “C&I”

November 2012 - African and Arab regions

Training Session on conformance and interoperability “C&I” April 2013 - Arab region

Training Session on conformance and interoperability “C&I” October 2013 - African region

CERT LABs is proposed by ITU to be a regional laboratory for the Arab and Africain regions

Regional lab

• CERT LABs can:

– Give technical, reglementary and management assistance to countries willing to set up their own conformance scheme

– Make conformance tests for countries not having test laboratories

– Make documentary study as assistance to market control entities in arab and africain countries

– Give professional trainings
