New requirements have been introduced for the OFCOM licence for all licensable radio equipment due to concerns about the risk of exposure to electromagnetic field (EMF) emissions from the 4G & 5G mobile phone network.
This will affect skippers using radio, radar and other emergency alerting equipment on UK vessels, and shore-based installations such as yacht clubs.
Licensees are now required to provide evidence that their installation does not exceed the general public safety limits for EMF.
New licensees must comply with the regulations with immediate effect.
