4. Competent authorities in the field of electromagnetic compatibility in Romania: Ministry of Communications and Information Technology – for mobile radio equipment and commercial telephonic radio equipment, information technology devices, networks and telecommunication equipment; Ministry of Industry and Resources – for equipment for industrial manufacture.

5. The designation of the bodies in the field of electromagnetic compatibility The designation of the bodies in the field of electromagnetic compatibility is made by Ministry of Communication and Information Technology with the purpose of evaluation of the conformity with the main requirements of the IT equipment protection.

6.
