Digital Radio Action Plan reports 2013 , United Kingdom
21.02.2013
- United Kingdom 
Yesterday the government published the UK’s digital radio minimum receiver specification reports – domestic and in-vehicle.
You can download the final versions of these reports here: http://www.culture.gov.uk/publications_full/9733.aspx#2.
Government is scheduled to make a decision on digital radio switchover in Q4 2013. Following a positive decision on switchover, government plans to introduce a digital radio switchover certification (“tick”) mark for use on digital receivers. These minimum receiver specifications define the technical criteria that DAB receivers must comply with to use a certification mark.
These receiver specifications are a clear signal of government’s intention and enables manufacturers to plan future product development. Alongside the minimum receiver specifications, government also plans to publish reports outlining the conformance testing requirements for technology providers and receiver manufacturers. These reports will outline the level of testing required to prove compliance with the minimum receiver specifications and will be published early in Q2 this year.
If you have any questions about the receiver minimum specifications or any other Digital Radio Action Plan paper please get in touch with DRUK.
