From March 1st, all kinds of entities that sell radio transmitting equipment in China need to go through the sales filing formalities with the provincial radio regulatory agency where they are registered within 10 working days from the date of sale.
This is a clear requirement for the sales link of radio transmitting equipment in the "Implementation Measures for the Record of Radio Transmitting Equipment Sales (Provisional)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Measures") recently issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
Strengthening the key link of market circulation supervision is the beginning of source management of radio transmitting equipment. "Zero burden" is the remarkable feature of this "sales filing". The sales subject can complete the relevant filing procedures through the national radio transmitting equipment sales filing information platform without providing paper materials and running to the scene, just like online shopping.
Effective supervision complements market circulation.
Mobile phones, walkie-talkies, base stations, broadcasting stations and other radio transmitting equipment have long been widely used in various fields of social life. Why didn’t the "sales record" system come out until today?
In response to the reporter’s question, the person in charge of the Radio Administration Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology explained that in order to prevent and reduce radio interference from the source and maintain the order of air waves, the supervision and management of sales links in China is not lacking, but it needs to be adjusted or improved according to the actual situation.
According to the person in charge, China has managed the production, import and use of radio transmitting equipment through measures such as model approval, customs clearance approval, issuance of radio station licenses and post-event supervision.
In contrast, there is still a lack of effective supervision means in the market circulation. A large number of illegal radio transmitting equipment such as "black broadcasting" and "pseudo base stations", and the sale of counterfeit and shoddy equipment without model approval code or technical indicators that do not meet national standards have been repeatedly banned.
It is understood that the Regulations on Radio Management in People’s Republic of China (PRC) revised in 2016 (hereinafter referred to as "Regulations") has added relevant provisions on the record-keeping of radio transmitting equipment sales and corresponding administrative penalties on the basis of the model approval system of radio transmitting equipment. In the sales process, the supervision and management of the business entities of radio transmitting equipment are strengthened, but the specific implementation methods of sales filing are not clear.
At the same time, some provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government have differences in specific procedures, contents and methods, which bring inconvenience and confusion to market operators.
The "Regulations" endow the radio management organization with an important function, that is, the record management of radio transmitting equipment sales. The "Measures" provide a practical basis for both market operators and radio regulatory agencies.
Xie Yuansheng, director of the Radio Administration Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said: "As a supporting normative document of the Regulations, the Measures take into account the regulatory needs of radio transmitting equipment and the legitimate rights and interests of business entities, and are the implementation of ‘ Streamline administration, delegate power, strengthen regulation and improve services ’ Important measures required by the reform. It is of great significance to strengthen the whole process management of radio transmitting equipment, prevent and reduce the hidden dangers of radio interference from the source, and maintain the order of air waves. "
Information access to territorial management nationwide filing
He Tingrun, senior consultant of the National Institute of Radio Spectrum Management, said: "A series of detailed measures are not only conducive to standardizing the administrative behavior of local radio management agencies, but also avoiding the different requirements faced by the same enterprise in implementing filing in different places. This laid the foundation for high-quality promotion of radio transmitting equipment sales filing. "
The "Measures" clearly put forward that the national radio regulatory agency should establish a national unified information platform for the record of radio transmission equipment sales, taking into account the needs of business entity declaration, radio transmission equipment supervision and public inquiry.
Market operators realize "one-time non-running" in sales filing. By sharing model approval data, citizenship and industrial and commercial registration registration information at the national level, the information platform can automatically verify the filing information. Radio management agencies can grasp the sales situation of radio transmitting equipment in various places in real time, providing an important basis for post-event supervision. The public can query the nearby recorded data in real time without registration, and provide reference for purchasing compliant radio transmitting equipment.
Although it emphasizes localized management, sales filing relies on a unified national platform.
Yang Haichun, deputy director of Heilongjiang Radio Administration Bureau, said: "After the national unified information platform is launched, model approval data, citizenship and industrial and commercial registration registration information can be shared at the national level; It has the function of automatic verification, which greatly improves the efficiency of filing; Classified management of filing information provides an important basis for supervision during and after the event. "
For example, the person in charge of the radio station management office of Jiangsu Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology said: "Through the information platform, radio management agencies can grasp the sales situation of radio transmitting equipment in various places in real time, providing an important basis for post-event supervision. The public can also query the filed data near the location in real time to provide reference for purchasing compliant radio transmitting equipment. The implementation of radio transmitting equipment sales filing can effectively crack down on the circulation channels of equipment without model approval codes or technical indicators that do not meet national standards. "
Then, what is the scope of radio transmitting equipment covered by the Measures?
Although this problem is a bit complicated, simply speaking, mobile phones (PHS, GSM, CDMA mobile phones), wireless pagers, walkie-talkies, cordless phones, mobile communication base stations, repeaters, wireless public telephones, wireless network equipment, satellite and earth stations, microwave equipment and other radio equipment that emit radio waves are all listed here.
Contain radio interference at the source of type approval
There is such a provision in the "Measures": "Anyone who sells radio transmitting equipment that should obtain model approval shall handle the sales record of radio transmitting equipment."
What is model approval?
According to the provisions of Article 44 of the Regulations, except for micro-power short-range radio transmitting equipment, the production or import of other radio transmitting equipment sold and used in China shall apply to the national radio regulatory agency for model approval; Article 48 stipulates that radio transmitting equipment that should be obtained without model approval cannot be produced and sold in China.
The model approval of radio transmitting equipment refers to the system of technical management of its spectrum parameters and technical indicators according to law in the development, production, import and purchase of radio transmitting equipment before it is put into use.
An employee of Huawei told the Science and Technology Daily reporter that the model approval of radio transmitting equipment is the core content of radio equipment management, and it is an important work to maintain the order of air waves, ensure the safety of national radio information and reduce interference from the source. These spectrum parameters are directly related to whether the limited spectrum resources can be used scientifically, whether the order of air waves can be effectively maintained, and whether radio safety can be effectively guaranteed.
Radio is the electric wave flying in the universe, just like the air in the electronic world. To be small, people can’t bear the "no signal" in life, and any proud black technology can’t play without it; On the whole, it is related to national security.
The radio management workers are the "listeners" around us, and it is their mission to maintain the order of air waves. Although there is no shortage of rules and order in the field of radio, the progress of science and technology and the innovation of application make everything related to radio full of fierce competition.
With the increasing number of radio transmitting equipment and the increasingly complex electromagnetic environment, it is a common practice for governments all over the world to manage state-owned radio frequency resources in a unified way to ensure their safe use.
At present, most countries and regions, including the European Union, the United States, Japan, etc., have adopted similar model approval for radio transmitting equipment, in order to effectively curb radio interference from the source and improve the effectiveness of radio management.
