Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This instrument cancels outdated rules from 1998 that allowed certain radio equipment to be registered without proving it wouldn't interfere with other users.

Background: If you hold a spectrum licence (permission to use specific radio frequencies), you normally need an Interference Impact Certificate — proof that your device won't disrupt other radio users — before registering equipment. The revoked 1998 Guidelines created exceptions to this rule.

What changes:

The 1998 exemption guidelines are completely abolished
Spectrum licence holders can no longer rely on these specific rules to skip the interference assessment when registering devices
This is a housekeeping measure to remove old regulatory requirements from the books
