Regulation (EU) 2023/1230, adopted on 14 June 2023, constitutes the new European regulatory framework for machinery safety. It replaces Directive 2006/42/EC and will be fully applicable from 14 January 2027, with the aim of strengthening the protection of people and adapting the regulations to technological advances.

The recent publication of the EN 18052:2025 standard marks a key milestone in the evolution of hybrid eCall systems, establishing a standardized certification framework for their assessment and validation in the automotive sector. This certification addresses the growing need to ensure the interoperability, reliability, and continuity of eCall service in increasingly complex and heterogeneous environments.

The rapid digitalization of the European economy has exponentially increased its reliance on information systems and communication networks. At the same time, the rise in the frequency, sophistication, and impact of cyberattacks has highlighted the limitations of the previous regulatory framework. In this context, Directive (EU) 2022/2555, known as NIS2, represents a turning point in the European Union's cybersecurity strategy.

Enabling connected devices in homes across Europe to enter standby mode could save enough energy to power up to 70 new small data centers across the continent, or the equivalent of a medium-sized city, the Broadband Forum predicts.

The Next Generation Mobile Networks (NGMN) Alliance today published new operator-driven guidance calling for the creation and harmonization of energy measurement standards for 5G RAN transport networks. The publication emphasizes that mobile network operators (MNOs) urgently need accurate and standardized methods for measuring energy consumption.

The regulation aims to create a common framework in the European Union to facilitate, reduce the cost and accelerate the deployment of very high capacity networks (gigabit networks) in all territories, promoting transparency, the reuse of existing physical infrastructure and the streamlining of administrative procedures.

Devices that support 5G wireless device conformity testing and comply with the ETSI EN 301 908-25 standard according to the European Radio Equipment Directive (RED) are usually specialized test equipment used by manufacturers, certification bodies and testing laboratories.

From June 20th, all smartphones and tablets sold in the European Union must comply with new obligations set by regulation 2023/1669. This regulation introduces a mandatory energy label that will provide consumers with information on aspects such as energy efficiency, durability, ease of repair, and resistance of these devices.
