4.   The addition of various interference avoidance technical requirements for radio transmitting equipment as Annex 2 is similar to the adaptivity tests in CE standards.

However, before October 15, 2023, the radio transmitting equipment that meets the original regulations but does not meet the technical requirements listed in the notice can still apply for a new SRRC approval or a renewal according to the original provisions.
