[Act No. 1 of 2009, s. 13.]
39. Regulations for radiation of electro-magnetic energy
(1) The Minister in consultation with the Commission may make regulations for
the following purposes—
(a) for prescribing the requirements to be complied with in the use of any
apparatus to which this section applies;
(b) for prescribing the requirements to be complied with in the case of
any apparatus to which this section applies if the apparatus is to be
sold or offered or advertised for sale otherwise than for export, or let
or hire or offered or advertised for letting or hire by any person who
in the course of business manufactures, assembles or imports such
apparatus.
(2) Regulations made under subsection (1) shall make provisions to ensure
that the use of the apparatus does not cause undue interference with radio
communication and may in particular include—
(a) requirements as to the maximum intensity of electromagnetic energy
of any specified frequencies which may be emitted in any direction
from the apparatus while it is in use; and
(b) in the case of any apparatus, the power for which is supplied from
electric supply lines, requirements as to maximum electro-magnetic
energy of any specified frequencies which may be injected into those
lines by the apparatus, and different requirements may be prescribed
for different circumstances and in relation to different classes or
descriptions of apparatus, different districts or places and different
times of use.
(3) The apparatus to which this section applies shall be such apparatus, other
than radio communication apparatus, as may be specified in the regulations, being
apparatus generating or designed to generate or liable to generate fortuitously
electro-magnetic energy at frequencies of not more than three million megahertz
per second and references in this subsection to apparatus include references to
any form of electric supply line.
(4) It shall not be unlawful for any person to use any apparatus to which this
section applies or to sell, offer, advertise for sale, let on hire or offer or advertise,
such apparatus for letting on hire, by reason only that it does not comply with the
requirements applicable under any regulations made under this section, but such
non-compliance shall be a ground for the giving of a notice under section 41 or 43
of this Act, as the case may be.
40. Regulations with respect to resistance to interference
(1) The Cabinet Secretary, in consultation with the Authority may, by
regulations, prescribe technical requirements to be complied with in the case of
radio communication apparatus specified in the regulations.
(2) The technical requirements in respect of any apparatus shall be such as
appear to the Commission to be appropriate for the purpose of minimising so far as
practicable, the risk of interference, arising from lawful use of any other apparatus
to which the requirements apply, or any apparatus used in connection with it and
which it is designed or adapted to receive.
