3. (a) What conformity assessment procedure for electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC/EMI), which includes both interference and immunity, does your government
require for approval of information technology products?
According to Technical Regulation on Electromagnetic Compatibility the manufacturer or
importer of the IT equipment after testing it according to the harmonized standards for EMC
disturbances and immunity shall prepare EU Declaration of Conformity. The "CE" mark shall
be affixed on the product. The documents shall be kept at least 10 years after the last date of
placing of the product on the market and can be checked by Lithuanian Market Surveillance
Institution. If necessary, the Lithuanian Market Surveillance Institution can take off products
