A radar is an installation made to search the surroundings for objects (targets) in the air, on land or at sea, by means of radio waves.

All postal service providers have to meet a number of minimum requirements, such as: compliance with the essential requirements. These are the conditions that are imposed to guarantee matters such as confidentiality of letter post, data protection, environmental protection, etc.; the ban to transport or deliver items carrying external elements clearly contrary to common decency or public order knowingly; implementation of an internal complaints procedure allowing a fair and swift treatment of complaints in a simple, transparent and not too expensive manner; providing information to users and personnel about the appeal procedure before the Office of the Ombudsman for the Postal Sector and appointing a competent person to represent the operator in his relations with the Office of the Ombudsman for the Postal Sector; identifying the persons in charge of the delivery of postal items to the public and ensuring that the postal items, with the exception of newspapers, bear a mark allowing the identification of the service provider that treated this item.

Radio interference can disrupt and render impossible the proper operation of transmitters and/or receivers. The NCS service of the BIPT (the National Spectrum Monitoring Department) is responsible for "policing the radio waves". Cases of interference can be reported by post, telephone, fax or e-mail. Interference occurring in telephones should first be reported to your telephone operator.

Radio networks are used for communication between mobile and/or portable stations, possibly via base stations by means of voice or data transmission. It is necessary to apply for a licence at BIPT.

For major events (Formula 1 Grand Prix, Tour de France …), specific forms are made available to participants and organisers.

Radio-relay links are used to link two locations instead of using a telephone cable or optical fibre.

Bpost’s office network consists of a comprehensive network of postal service points comprising: post offices: postal stops postal points

Any device which can emit and/or receive radio waves is a radio equipment. The legislation provides that radio equipment placed on the market (marketed) must comply with essential requirements: BIPT is tasked with the monitoring of the radio equipment marketed in Belgium. Market monitoring protects the consumer, contributes to fair competition and prevents the marketing of devices that may pose a risk to the population and/or cause harmful interference. additional restrictions may apply to radio equipment in a number of EU Member States.

Radio equipment that is placed on the EU market is presumed to meet the requirements. Market surveillance authorities such as BIPT ensure that only the radio equipment that is in conformity is placed on the market. However, the buyer must always be careful and check if the equipment he or she buys bears the CE marking and comes with the EU declaration of conformity of the manufacturer. If you buy equipment outside the European market, you may be considered as an importer. In that case, you must guarantee that the equipment is destined for the EU market and that it is in conformity with all the legal requirements.

The information available on the packaging shall allow the identification of the Member States where national restrictions exist.
