Note by the Secretariat
This revision of the Radio Regulations, complementing the Constitution and the Convention of the
International Telecommunication Union, incorporates the decisions of the World Radiocommunication Conferences of 1995 (WRC-95), 1997 (WRC-97), 2000 (WRC-2000), 2003
(WRC-03), 2007 (WRC-07) and 2012 (WRC-12). The majority of the provisions of these
Regulations shall enter into force as from 1 January 2013; the remaining provisions shall apply as from the special dates of application indicated in Article 59 of the revised Radio Regulations.

Article numbers are not followed by any abbreviation (such as “(WRC-97)”, “(WRC-2000)”,
“(WRC-03)”, “(WRC-07)” or “(WRC-12)”). Consequently, any reference to an Article, in any of the provisions of these Radio Regulations (e.g. in No. 13.1 of Article 13), in the texts of the Appendices as contained in Volume 2 of this edition (e.g. in § 1 of Appendix 2), in the texts of the
Resolutions included in Volume 3 of this edition (e.g. in Resolution 1 (Rev.WRC-97)), and in the texts of the Recommendations included in Volume 3 of this edition (e.g. in Recommendation 8), is considered as
