Amateurs in Germany now have a direct means of communication with the federal regulator BNetZa (Pron: B-NETS-EH) when they want to report electronic devices that have caused radio interference or are inaccurately labelled as being safe. An online form allows a report to be made with relevant details so that the agency can more easily take action and determine if these devices are non-compliant, dangerous - or both. Customs agents and postal authorities will also be notified of imported devices that are found to be faulty so those items can be placed on the list of banned products.

The form is designed to help expedite an official response, especially with regard to interference - be it on the amateur radio frequencies or on mobile phones or broadcast radio and TV. BNetZa (Pron: B-NETS-EH) has provided a link to the form, which is in German.
