976 Radio Servitude PT1 (disruptions)

These data are disseminated for information purposes and have no legal value. PT1 class servitudes concern the protection easements of radio reception centres against electromagnetic disturbance. In order to ensure the proper functioning of the networks, easements are established pursuant to Articles L. 57 to L.62-1 of the Post and Electronic Communications Code in order to protect radio centres against electromagnetic disturbances that may result from the operation of certain equipment, including electrical equipment. Two schemes should be distinguished: — servitudes instituted for the benefit of radio centres concerning national defence or public security (Articles L.57 to L.62 of the Postal and Electronic Communications Code); — easements established for the benefit of radio centres owned by private operators (Article L.62-1 of the Postal and Electronic Communications Code). However, in the absence of a decree implementing Article L.62-1 of the Postal and Electronic Communications Code, operators of electronic communications networks open to the public cannot benefit from radio easements to date. Servitude has the consequence of: — the obligation to stop electromagnetic disturbances: every owner or user of an electrical installation producing or propagating disturbances that interferes with the operation of a reception centre is required to comply with the provisions indicated to him by the Minister in charge of the operation or control of the centre in order to stop the disturbance; — a prohibition, in radio protection zones, on owners or users of electrical installations to produce or propagate disturbances within the range of radio waves received by the centre and presenting for the apparatus of the centre a degree of gravity greater than the value compatible with its operation; — the prohibition, in radio guard zones, of putting into service electrical equipment capable of disrupting or modifying radio receptions without the authorisation of the Minister responsible for the operation of the centre. This resource describes the bases of PT1 easements, i.e. radio protection zones, and radio guard areas.
