The established radio station equipment that falls under a low power radio waves radiated device with obtained type approval certification, declaration of conformity (DOC) and simplified DOC shall state so in the network establishment plan to be exempt from applying for the radio station establishment permit and a radio station license.
Where the radio station is established using a specific experimental frequency of technical or commercial experiments and research and development telecommunications network, the applicant shall provide the self-evaluation records of the radio station examination to the competent authority for issuance of the station license. The competent authority may undertake an examination when deemed necessary.

The following documents shall be submitted to the competent authority for the application of radio station establishment. Upon approval by the competent authority, an approval letter for the establishment of the radio station will be issued:
1. The radio establishment application form and list (electronic data files), including the type, establishment location, frequency, bandwidth, transmission power, quantity, brand, model, and technical specifications of the radio station, which shall be filled out in accordance with the number of radio stations.
2. The radio station equipment catalogs.
3. Other documents required by the competent authority.
The approval of the radio station establishment in the preceding paragraph shall be valid for no more than six (6) months.

The approval criteria for the radio station establishment application mentioned in the preceding Article shall be as follows:
1. The frequency, bandwidth and transmission power of the radio station shall not exceed the standards specified in the approved network establishment plan.
2. Whether the location of the radio station complies with the approved network establishment plan.
3. Whether the radio station equipment complies with the national security considerations of relevant authorities.
4. Whether the network establishment approval or network approval qualification certificate is valid.

If the applicant or administrator fails to establish the radio station prior to the expiration of the approval, an application for an extension, which may not exceed three (3) months and can be requested only once, along with appropriate justification, shall be submitted to the competent authority at least one (1) month before the expiration. However, no extension shall be granted for the approval of radio station establishment for commercial experiments and research and development telecommunications networks.
The applicant or administrator establishing the radio station shall obtain legal use rights and documentation certifying the legal source of the radio station equipment, and shall submit them to the competent authority to carry out the radio station approval process.
If the applicant or administrator ceases the establishment of the radio station within the approved period of the radio station establishment permit, they must specify the reasons and submit them to the competent authority for future reference. The competent authority shall then revoke the radio station establishment permit accordingly.
If the establishment of the radio station is not completed by the expiration of the radio station establishment permit, or if the competent authority revokes the permit, the applicant or administrator must cease use of the radio station and remove any established equipment.

In addition to a short-term test that applies to the competent authority pursuant to the regulations or technical inspection that the competent authority conducts, radio stations shall not transmit radio waves during the period of station establishment. The period of short-term tests shall not exceed five (5) days.

If the applicant or administrator wishes to change the brand or model of a radio station component, or the frequency, power, or bandwidth of the radio station, such changes shall be carried out in accordance with Articles 22, 24, and 25. Upon approval of the changes by the competent authority, the radio station license shall be renewed accordingly.
If the changes to the transmission frequency, power, or bandwidth of the radio station mentioned in the preceding paragraph exceed the standards specified in the approved network establishment plan, the changes shall first be handled in accordance with Article 31.
If the changes to the transmission frequency, power, or bandwidth of the radio station mentioned in Paragraph 1 are made to meet the requirements of the Ministry of Digital Affairs, the associated approval and license fees may be exempt.
The radio station license shall be valid for six (6) months but not beyond the validity of network approval certificate.
Those that still intend to operate the radio station after expiration of the radio station license shall attach and state the reasons and apply to the competent authority for renewal one (1) month prior to its expiration. The competent authority may conduct an examination prior to renewing the license.
The renewed license in the preceding paragraph shall be valid from the day after expiration of the former license; the validity shall be defined by Paragraph 4.

Should the applicant or the administrator change the radio station’s establishment site, where the radio waves’ coverage has not exceeded the approved experimentation area following the change, the application form for the establishment of a radio station shall be submitted according to one of the following circumstances:
1. During the valid period of the radio station establishment permit, the change shall be reported to the competent authority for future reference.
2. During the valid period of the radio station license, annotation changes of the radio station license shall be submitted to the competent authority.
When changes to the radio stations fall under the scope of data correction, or when the changes in the establishment site fall under the same street number but in a different building, the applicant shall report to the competent authority for future reference.
The applicant or the administrator, when temporarily relocating the radio station to a nearby establishment site for in support of testing needs where the radio waves’ coverage does not exceed the approved geological scope, shall report to the competent authority for future reference, provided that the period may not exceed fifteen (15) days.
Where more than one (1) radio station is involved in the application for station location change in Paragraph 1, change of information in Paragraph 2 or short-term relocation of station in the preceding paragraph, the applicant or administrator shall provide the radio station change list in the order of their numbering.

If the applicant or administrator is involved in any of the following circumstances, the competent authority may revoke or partially revoke their radio station establishment approval or radio station license:
1. The network establishment approval or network approval qualification certificate has been cancelled or revoked by the competent authority.
2. Violation of Paragraph 1 of Article 33, which prohibits leasing, lending, transferring, or using the radio station license as collateral to others.
3. The radio station causes interference with lawful communications and fails to undertake corrective action within the prescribed period after receiving notice from the competent authority.
The applicant or the administrator that ceases to operate radio station as the station license expires shall report to the competent authority for future reference, and also have the competent authority revoke the radio station establishment permit.
Should the radio station license expire without being renewed as required, or when the competent authority has revoked the radio station license, the applicant or the administrator shall cease operating the established radio station, and the Administrative Regulations Governing the Manufacture, Import, and Application of Controlled Telecommunications Radio-Frequency Devices shall apply for the storage, supervised destruction or transfer of the radio equipment or regular reporting of its whereabouts, usage of status, except those on lease, on loan or otherwise stipulated by law.
