What is DAB+ Certification?

2026-03-09

DAB+ (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is a mandatory market access certification for radios, car infotainment systems, and audio devices sold in Europe, UK, Australia, and the Middle East.

DAB+ provides clearer sound, more stations, and data services. DAB+ Certification verifies compliance with local spectrum, RF, and interoperability rules.

I. Products Requiring DAB+ Certification:

·Home / portable radios, hi‑fi systems

·Car head units, navigation, infotainment

·Motorcycle / RV audio

·Bluetooth speakers with DAB+ tuner

Pure FM, network audio, or devices without DAB+ reception are exempt.

II. Core Standards:

·Global baseline: ETSI EN 300 401

·EU: CE RED framework

·UK: UKCA (CE no longer sufficient alone)

·Australia: ACMA + RCM

·Middle East: local regulatory frameworks

III. What DAB+ Certification Tests:

·Frequency band compliance

·Receiver sensitivity, SNR, distortion

·Spurious emissions

·EMC

·Protocol compatibility & decoding stability

·Environmental testing (vibration, temperature for automotive)

DAB+ Certification is region‑specific, not a single global certificate.
