Reglugerð nr. 944/2019 um þráðlausan fjarskiptabúnað implements Directive 2014/53/EU, taken into the EEA Agreement by Joint Committee Decision No 89/2016, together with Commission Delegated Regulations (EU) 2022/2380, 2023/1717 and 2023/2444 adopted by Decisions No 238/2023, 24/2025 and 25/2025, and applies to radio equipment on Icelandic territory. Article 7 permits radio equipment to be placed on the market and taken into use only if it complies with the regulation, bears CE marking, is correctly installed and is used for its intended purpose; Article 10 requires the documentation and information for Icelandic users to be in Icelandic, or in English or a Nordic language other than Finnish where the user group can be expected to understand it. Article 11(1) makes Fjarskiptastofa the market-surveillance authority for radio equipment and its operators, with Neytendastofa assisting, the accreditation division of Hugverkastofa assessing notified bodies, and the police and customs supporting the authority. There is no Icelandic type approval: the applicant relies on the RED conformity route and the EU declaration of conformity, and notification to the EFTA Surveillance Authority and the Commission follows Article 13.
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.
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.
Country-specific scope
Other Iceland routes to check
Electrical safety
Low Voltage Directive exclusion for medical electrical equipment — electrical safety carried inside MDR conformity assessment
Evidence is normally handled inside the medical-device registration route.
Source association awaiting review
EMC
Reglugerð nr. 303/2018 um rafsegulsamhæfi — EMC carried inside the MDR route for a medical device
Evidence is normally handled inside the medical-device registration route.

Metrology
HMS legal-metrology conformity assessment and verification (lög nr. 91/2006)
Applies to the facility, operator, or installation rather than only the product.
Source association reviewed
Radiation
Geislavarnir ríkisins licence for ionizing-radiation sources and radiation devices
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 Iceland scheme matrix and links each route to its maintained source associations, with reviewed, candidate and unresolved states shown separately.
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 Iceland?
- 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.
