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 Funkanlagen ordinance applying the RED directly under the EEA Agreement 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.

Liechtenstein does not re-enact the RED's substantive articles. Article 7 of the ordinance of 19 September 2017 (LGBl. 2017 Nr. 254) allows radio equipment to be placed on the market under the goods marketability act where this accords with EEA Agreement Annex II Chapter XVIII, and article 5 declares the listed acts directly applicable and generally binding, Directive 2014/53/EU having been incorporated by EEA Joint Committee Decision No 89/2016 (LGBl. 2017 Nr. 149). Article 9 gives execution and supervision to the Amt für Kommunikation. There is no Liechtenstein type approval. The customs union with Switzerland creates a genuine dual track: article 3(1) applies Swiss customs-treaty law supplementarily, article 3(2) applies it to movement of radio equipment into Switzerland, and article 8 requires anyone supplying equipment that does not meet Swiss requirements to warn against circumvention traffic into Switzerland.

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.

Other Liechtenstein routes to check

Check every Liechtenstein route →

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

Substance restrictions reaching Liechtenstein through Swiss chemicals law

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

Environmental / battery

No national WEEE producer register

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

Environmental / battery

Batteries Regulation with EEA incorporation unconfirmed

A transition is identified; the applicable date and current status must be checked.

Radiation

Amt für Gesundheit ionising radiation handling authorisation

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 Liechtenstein 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 Liechtenstein?: 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.
