Article 2 
The intended purpose of the equipment shall be declared by the manufacturer or supplier of the equipment. However, terminal equipment within the meaning of Article 1(2), second indent, which makes use of a system of communication employing the radio frequency spectrum is presumed to be intended for connection to the public telecommunications network. Article 3 1. Notwithstanding Articles 1 and 2, equipment which is capable of being connected to the public telecommunications network, but is not intended for such a purpose, shall be accompanied by a manufacturer's or supplier's declaration, the model of which is to be found in Annex VIII and by the operating manual. At the time of placing the equipment on the market for the first time, a copy of such documentation shall be transmitted to the notified body referred to in Article 11(1) in the Member State where this first placing on the market takes place. In addition, such equipment shall be subject to the provisions of Article 12(4). 2. The manufacturer or supplier shall be prepared to justify once, at the request of any notified body referred to in Article 11(1), the intended purpose of such equipment on the basis of its relevant technical characteristics, its functions and indications of the market segment it is intended for. Article 4 1. Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that terminal equipment may be placed on the market and put into service only if it bears the CE marking provided for in Article 12 attesting to its conformity to the requirements of this Directive, including the conformity assessment procedures laid down in Chapter II and where it is properly installed and maintained and used for its intended purpose. 2. Member States shall also take all appropriate measures to ensure that equipment referred to in Article 3 may be placed and allowed to remain on the market only if it complies with the requirements laid down by this Directive for this equipment and may not be connected to the public telecommunications network within the meaning of Article 1(2), first indent. 3. Member States shall also take all appropriate measures to ensure that terminal equipment or equipment referred to in Article 3 is disconnected from the public telecommunications network if it is not used for its intended purpose. Member States may moreover take all appropriate measures, according to their national laws, to prevent connection to the public telecommunications network of terminal equipment that is not used in conformity with its intended purpose. 4. (a) Where the terminal equipment is subject to other Directives concerning other aspects and which also provide for the affixing of the CE marking, the latter shall indicate that the equipment is also presumed to conform to the provisions of those other Directives; (b) however, where one or more of those Directives allow the manufacturer, during a transitional period, to choose which arrangements to apply, the CE marking shall indicate conformity to the provisions only of those Directives applied by the manufacturer. In such a case, particulars of the Directives applied, as published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, must be given in the documents, notices or instructions required by the Directives and accompanying the terminal equipment. Article 5 Terminal equipment shall satisfy the following essential requirements: (a) user safety, in so far as this requirement is not covered by Directive 73/23/EEC. For the purposes of this Directive, the essential requirements shall imply the safety of persons in the same way as in Directive 73/23/EEC; (b) safety of employees of public telecommunications networks operators, in so far as this requirement is not covered by Directive 73/23/EEC; (c) electromagnetic compatibility requirements in so far as they are specific to terminal equipment; (d) protection of the public telecommunications network from harm; (e) effective use of the radio frequency spectrum, where appropriate; (f) interworking of terminal equipment with public telecommunications network equipment for the purpose of establishing, modifying, charging for, holding and clearing real or virtual connection; (g) interworking of terminal equipment via the public telecommunications network, in justified cases. The cases where terminal equipment supports: (i) reserved service according to Community law; or (ii) a service for which the Council has decided that there should be Community-wide availability, are considered as justified cases and the requirements concerning this interworking are determined in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 29. In addition, after consultation of representatives of the bodies referred to in Article 28(3) and taking due account of the result of these consultations, the Commission may propose that this essential requirement be recognised as being justified for other terminal equipment in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 29. Article 6 Member States shall not impede the placing on the market and the free circulation and use on their territory of terminal equipment which complies with the provisions of this Directive. Article 7 1. Member States shall presume compliance with the essential requirements referred to in Article 5(a) and (b) in respect of terminal equipment which is in conformity with the national standards implementing the relevant harmonised standards, the references of which have been published in the Official Journal of the European Communities. Member States shall publish the references of such national standards. 2. The Commission shall, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 29, adopt: - as a first step, the measures identifying the type of terminal equipment for which a common technical regulation is required, as well as the associated scope statement for that regulation, with a view to its transmission to the relevant standardisation bodies, - as a second step, once they have been prepared by the relevant standardisation bodies, the corresponding harmonised standards, or parts thereof, implementing the essential requirements referred to in Article 5(c) to (g), which shall be transformed into common technical regulations, compliance with which shall be mandatory and the reference of which shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities. Article 8 Where a Member State or the Commission considers that the harmonised standards referred to in Article 7 exceed or do not entirely meet the essential requirements referred to in Article 5, the Commission or the Member State concerned shall bring the matter before the Committee referred to in Article 28, giving the reasons therefor.

In the light of the Committee's opinion and after consultation of the standing Committee set up by Directive 83/189/EEC, the Commission shall inform the Member States whether or not it is necessary to withdraw reference to those standards and any related technical regulations from the Official Journal of the European Communities and shall take the necessary steps to correct the shortcomings noted in the standards. Article 9 1. Where a Member State finds that terminal equipment bearing the markings under the provision laid down in Chapter III does not comply with the relevant essential requirements when properly used in accordance with the purpose intended by the manufacturer, it shall take all appropriate measures to withdraw such products from the market or to prohibit or restrict their being placed on the market. The Member State concerned shall immediately inform the Commission of any such measure indicating the reasons for its decision, and in particular whether non-compliance is due to: (a) incorrect application of the harmonised standards or common technical regulations referred to in Article 7; (b) shortcomings in the harmonised standards or common technical regulations themselves referred to in Article 7. 2. The Commission shall enter into consultation with the parties concerned as soon as possible. Where, after such consultation, the Commission finds that any measure as referred to in paragraph 1 is justified it shall immediately so inform the Member State that took the action and the other Member States. Where the decision referred to in paragraph 1 is attributed to shortcomings in the harmonised standards or common technical regulations, the Commission, after consulting the parties concerned, shall bring the matter before the committee referred to in Article 28 within two months if the Member State which has taken the measure intends to maintain them, and shall initiate the procedure referred to in Article 8. 3.
