More than 100 years ago, Albert Einstein founded The Theory of Relativity which revolutionized the human conception of physics and astronomy. It introduced concepts including 4-dimensionalspacetime as a unified entity of space and time, adding another dimension to the regular conception with 3 dimensions. Without any other comparison, the concept of dimensions in printing and scanning has in our time developed from being traditional 2-dimensional on paper or screen to 3-dimensional printing and scanning of objects, which for most of us non-experts is difficult to comprehend. And now, there are further amazing developments in these fields, which is the theme of the third article below.
European standard for cyber security testing of radio equipment
In July last year, the EU Commission adopted the Delegated Regulationon Cyber-security, Privacy, and Fraud protection that amends the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) as a mandatory requirement for CE-marking.

The Oman Telecommunication Regulatory Agency (TRA) has just published an Amendment to the Type Approval Regulations for Telecommunications Devices which was made effective from 16 August.
3-dimensional (3D) printing is a process of making three dimensional objects from a digital file. The 3D printed object is created by using additive processes laying down successive layers of material until the object is created. In fact, also so called “volumetric 3D printing” is being researched, where entire structures can be formed without the need for layer-by-layer fabrication.
In Indonesia, a new technical standard for Short-Range Devices (SRD) has been effective from 11 August. The implementation has been long-awaited because it provides more allocations for some technologies.
SRDs typically operate on specific frequency bands commonly used in e.g. radio-controlled toys, wireless microphones, wireless headsets, automotive components, medical devices, and industrial automation systems.
Hazloc equipment’ is the term used in North America for equipment to be used in hazardous locations, and which in Europe and other parts of the world is generally denoted ‘Ex-equipment’, i.e. equipment for use in explosive atmospheres. In industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, mining, and grain handling, there are flammable gases, vapors, dust, or fibers with the potential for an explosion. Electrical devices, such as switches, motors, and relays, but also some mechanical equipment can produce sparks during normal operation causing an explosion.
