Recently, the Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology (ESMA) published a document from the UAE Terrestrial Radio Receiver Specifications for AM/FM/T-DAB+ which contains the requirements and standards for automotive and other radio receivers such as portables and domestics. All producers, importers, manufacturers and retailers selling radio receivers and products which have built-in radio receivers in the UAE will be covered by this regulation. The objective is to assess the eligibility of a product to be used in the UAE. The technical regulation will be approved by the end of 2016 and will come into force in January 2018.
