30.—(1) The exemption provided for in regulation 29 shall apply to ultra-wideband equipment which is a building material analysis device and which complies with the requirements of paragraphs (2) to (4) of this regulation.
(2) The ultra-wideband equipment must—
(a)only have the transmitter turned on if manually operated with a non-locking switch;
(b)be used in close proximity to the material being analysed with the emissions being directed into the direction of the object of the analysis; and
(c)switch off automatically after ten seconds without any movement.
(3) The ultra-wideband equipment must not cause or contribute to undue interference to other users of the electromagnetic spectrum.
(4) The ultra-wideband equipment must only emit signals that are radiated into the air which—
(a)are kept to a minimum; and
(b)if the equipment were to be placed on a representative wall (as defined within Annex D of harmonised standard EN 302-435-1(1)) would be in accordance with the condition in regulation 31.

This timeline shows the different points in time where a change occurred. The dates will coincide with the earliest date on which the change (e.g an insertion, a repeal or a substitution) that was applied came into force. The first date in the timeline will usually be the earliest date when the provision came into force. In some cases the first date is 01/02/1991 (or for Northern Ireland legislation 01/01/2006). This date is our basedate. No versions before this date are available. For further information see the Editorial Practice Guide and Glossary under Help.
