7B. Transitional
(1) During the transitional period, the requirement referred to in regulation 7 is to be regarded as having been complied with in respect of a continuously regulated apparatus in the circumstances specified in paragraph (2).
(2) The circumstances are that the apparatus is designed, constructed, assembled and installed, and precautions are taken in relation to it (by fitting suppressors or otherwise), so as to ensure that when the apparatus is used, at any defined frequency or at any frequency within the defined frequency range—
(a) the interference voltage at the electric supply line terminals, aerial terminals, load terminals or additional terminals of the apparatus does not exceed the limit of interference voltage specified in Schedule 3 for that frequency or frequency range;
(b) the interference field strength of the electromagnetic energy radiated in any direction from the apparatus or its associated cables does not exceed the limit of interference field strength specified in Schedule 3 for that frequency or frequency range and at any distance not less than the given distance for the same frequency or frequency range;
(c) the interference power of the electromagnetic energy radiated in any direction from the apparatus or its associated cables does not exceed the limit of interference power specified in Schedule 3 for that frequency or frequency range; or
(d) the insertion loss of the apparatus does not fall below the minimum value specified in Schedule 3 for that frequency or frequency range,
in respect of the class or subdivision of the class of apparatus to which the apparatus concerned belongs.
(3) During the transitional period, a failure to comply with the requirement referred to in regulation 7 in respect of a newly regulated apparatus does not constitute an offence under regulation 3, 3A or 4.
(4) In this regulation—

8. Measurement and computation of noise voltage and field-strength
For the purposes of these regulations and the measurement and computation of interference voltage, interference field strength, interference power and insertion loss—
(a) the Authority shall be the sole authority by which measurements are made;
(b) the Authority shall determine the measuring apparatus to be used, the method by which and conditions under which tests are to be made and the manner to be used in computing interference voltage, interference field strength, interference power and insertion loss from readings afforded by the measuring apparatus; and shall supply to any person applying therefor, information as to any of the matters referred to in this paragraph; and
(c) the Authority may, in relation to an apparatus, use any method of statistical sampling that is set out in any of the standards or regulations applicable to the apparatus as specified in Schedule 1, or any other method of statistical sampling that the Authority considers appropriate, in connection with testing or examining mass produced apparatus for the purpose of determining whether the apparatus being investigated complies with the requirements of regulation 7. (L.N. 153 of 1993; L.N. 72 of 2014)
(L.N. 153 of 1993; E.R. 1 of 2013)

8A. Access to standards and regulations specified in Schedule 1
The Authority must—
(a) keep a copy of each of the standards and regulations specified in Schedule 1 at its office; and
(b) allow the public to inspect them during normal office hours free of charge.
(L.N. 72 of 2014)

9. Deliberate interference
(1) Any person who uses any apparatus for the purpose of interfering with the working of any apparatus for telecommunications shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine at level 4 and to imprisonment for 12 months. (L.N. 256 of 1994; 36 of 2000 s. 28; E.R. 1 of 2013) 
(2) This regulation shall apply whether or not the apparatus is an apparatus within any class specified in regulation 2, and, if within any such class, whether or not it complies with the requirement referred to in regulation 7, and whether or not any notice under regulation 5 has been given with respect to it or, if given, has been varied or revoked.

10. Amendment of Schedule
(1) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (2), the Authority may from time to time, by order published in the Gazette, amend the limits of interference at any frequency or within any frequency range in respect of any class of apparatus specified in regulation 2(1), including by (but not limited to) referring to or setting out standards or regulations in Schedule 1. (L.N. 153 of 1993) 
(2) No order shall be made under paragraph (1) without the prior approval of the Governor in Council if the effect of such order would be to impose, for or in respect of any class of apparatus specified in regulation 2(1), a limit of interference that is not set out in any standard or regulation applicable to the class of apparatus published or adopted by one or more of the bodies specified in paragraph (2A).
(2A) For the purposes of paragraph (2), the bodies are—
(a) the International Electrotechnical Commission;
(b) the International Special Committee on Radio Interference (Comité International Spécial des Perturbations Radioélectriques);
(c) a European Standards Organization;
(d) the Federal Communications Commission of the United States of America;
(e) the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People’s Republic of China; and
(f) the Standardization Administration of the People’s Republic of China. (L.N. 72 of 2014)
(3) For the purposes of regulations 3 and 3A (but not for the purpose of any other provision of these regulations unless so provided in the order), an order made under this regulation shall not come into operation before the expiry of a period of 6 months, or such longer period as may be specified therein, from the date of publication of the order in the Gazette. (E.R. 1 of 2013)
(L.N. 72 of 2014)
