Federal Network Agency(Bundesnetzagentur, BNetzA)

Federal Network Agency for Electricity, Gas, Telecommunications, Post and Railways. In July 2005 the regulatory authority for telecommunications and post (RegTP) was renamed to "Federal Network Agency for Electricity, Gas, Telecommunications, Post and Railways". At the samt time its scope of duties was extended. The tasks in the area of telecommunications include e. g. the granting of site certific-ates for mobile phone base stations on the basis of the Ordinance concerning the Controls for the Limitation of Electromagnetic Fields (BEMFV). The Federal Network Agency carries out test series to control compliance with limit values as well as, in individual cases, controls of stationary amateur radio installations. Data of the site certificates of mobile phone base stations can be found in the EMF data base.
