# The Wireless Telegraphy (Exemption) (Amendment) (Cordless Telephone Apparatus) Regulations 1987, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Wireless Telegraphy (Exemption) Regulations 1982 which exempt the installation and use of cordless telephones from the requirement for a licence under Section 1(1) Wireless Telegraphy Act 1949 subject to the conditions specified in the Regulations. For the purposes of exemption “cordless telephone apparatus” has been redefined to take account of the effect of technical progress in design.
The 1982 Regulations are further amended to reflect an amendment to the Performance Specification MPT 1322, first published in August 1982 as Home Office Performance Specification MPT 1322. Performance Specification MPT 1322 as amended, enables cordless telephones to operate on not more than two frequencies, rather than only one frequency as was previously the case.
Copies of Performance Specification MPT 1322 are available free of charge from the Librarian, Radiocommunications Division, Department of Trade and Industry, Waterloo Bridge House, Waterloo Road, LONDON SE1 8UA.
