What you receive

Not just a yes or no

A route-by-route answer. Separate product certificates, dossier evidence, import documents, and facility licences stay separate.

Maintained country rule

What this FMaG 2016 radio equipment market access check is screening

Checks Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular, NFC, RFID, UWB, telemetry, and proprietary radio approval. Applies when the product, feature, component, or use is in scope.

Requirement family: Radio and spectrum approval
Regulatory object: radio equipment
Maintained rule status: mandatory if feature
Useful product facts: Radio technologies, bands, power, antenna, module model, approval IDs, and host integration changes.

The Funkanlagen-Marktüberwachungs-Gesetz 2016 (BGBl. I Nr. 57/2017) transposes Directive 2014/53/EU. §23 allows radio equipment to be placed on the market and made available only where it complies with that act and its implementing ordinances, and §26 gives the Fernmeldebüro jurisdiction over the acts the law provides for. The consolidated text sets out no Austrian type approval or homologation in addition to the CE/RED route; §25 only restricts non-conforming equipment at trade fairs.

How to read the answer

Classification is only the first layer

A device may have one medical risk class and still trigger separate radio, electrical, measurement, radiation, environmental, import, or installation requirements. The checker keeps each regulatory object separate.

Product approval

A certificate or approval attached to the finished product, component, or radio host.

Dossier or import evidence

Testing can belong inside the medical dossier, while some documents apply to each shipment.

Site or operator licence

Radiation, installation, use, or measurement controls may apply to a facility or operator.

Electrical safety

MDR electrical safety in place of the Low Voltage Directive

Evidence is normally handled inside the medical-device registration route.

EMC

MDR electromagnetic compatibility in place of the EMC Directive

Evidence is normally handled inside the medical-device registration route.

Environmental / battery

EAG-VO substance restriction (RoHS)

Evidence may be required, but the matrix does not identify a generic separate certificate.

Environmental / battery

EAG-VO producer registration in the EDM register

Applies when the product, feature, component, or use is in scope.

Environmental / battery

Batteries Regulation producer registration pending national act

Applies when the product, feature, component, or use is in scope.

Metrology

MPBV messtechnische Kontrollen (metrological checks)

Applies to the facility, operator, or installation rather than only the product.

About this checker

A preliminary tool, not a regulatory determination

Describe the complete product — radio, power, measurement, radiation, battery, materials, accessories, intended use, import route, and existing approvals. The free checker maps those facts to the maintained Austria scheme matrix and links each route to its official source.

Use the result to identify questions and official sources. Final scope can depend on exact models, modules, bands, components, claims, HS codes, import structure, installation site, and current authority interpretation.

Is this the same as medical device classification in Austria?: No. Risk classification determines the main medical-device pathway. This checker runs after classification and looks for additional product certificates, dossier evidence, import documents, and facility or operator licences.
Does “no separate certificate” mean no testing is required?: No. Safety, EMC, performance, or other evidence can still be required inside the medical-device dossier even when there is no separate national product certificate.
Is the result an official regulatory determination?: No. It is a preliminary applicability assessment. Review the linked official source and confirm the final route with the relevant authority, certification body, importer, or regulatory professional.
