Ukraine: Approval of the Requirements for Radio Equipment Used in Local Radio Networks

2026-01-02

It entered into force on December 5, 2025.

On October 22, 2025, the Ukrainian National Commission for the State Regulation of Electronic Communications, Radio Frequency Spectrum and Postal Services adopted Decree No. 610, approving the Requirements for Radio Equipment Used in Local Radio Networks.

The Decree establishes technical and operational conditions that radio equipment must meet in order to qualify for use in a local radio network.
It defines the scope and key terms applicable to such equipment, aligned with the Law of Ukraine “On Electronic Communications” and related regulations.
The Requirements do not apply to broadband or ultra-wideband radio access equipment operating on assigned radio frequencies.
The technical requirements aim to ensure:
- Human health and safety
- Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
- Efficient use of the radio frequency spectrum
Radio equipment must comply with relevant national standards, including those addressing:
- Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
- Exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields
- Equipment must incorporate spectrum access and interference mitigation mechanisms in line with the Technical Regulation on Radio Equipment, including:
- Listen Before Talk (LBT)
- Dynamic Antenna Adjustment (DAA) (where applicable)
The Requirements also mandate:
- Transmit Power Control (TPC) and Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) where required by applicable standards
- DFS compliance with ITU-R Recommendation M.1652-1
- Non-user-modifiable DFS configurations where modification could result in non-compliance
- TPC performance ensuring an average power control factor of at least 3 dB below the maximum permitted output power
Compliance confirmation must be provided by the manufacturer in accordance with the Technical Regulation on Radio Equipment.
A declaration of conformity and supporting manufacturer documentation serve as evidence of compliance.
The Decree also sets operational conditions for local radio network equipment, including:
- Permitted use cases and device types
- Operation under a general authorisation regime without individual frequency assignment or licensing
- Indoor-only operation with integrated non-directional antennas, subject to limited exceptions for certain frequency bands
Responsibility for compliance with operational requirements rests with the radio frequency spectrum user.
