Open Data Registration
Open Data Application registration is defined by RDS standard IEC 62106-3:2018, Annex A. Registration procedure PDF forms are available for completion and return to the RDS Forum Office.
Every data application using Open Data Applications (ODA) must be transmitted together with an Application Identification (AID) number. The AID number for each ODA is allocated by the RDS Registrations Office in Switzerland.
Registration requirements
Forms must be completed fully. Every question must be answered, and the RDS Registrations Office will advise if difficulty is experienced. Completed forms must be sent to the RDS Registrations Office together with the nominal registration fee of EUR 500, payable in advance.
Subject to satisfactory completion, an AID number will be allocated and a certificate containing the AID allocation will be returned to the applicant.
Transmissions carrying an AID must adhere fully to the RDS standard IEC 62106, all parts, and to the details, specifications and references of the relevant registration. Subsequent updates that do not change the fundamental requirements for transmission of that ODA may allow continued use of the same AID, but advice should be sought from the RDS Registrations Office.
General details are kept in the updated RDS Forum ODA Directory, published on this website and maintained by the RDS Forum Office in Geneva, Switzerland.
Responsibility for AID use
Users of an AID must satisfy themselves as to the validity of using it and the accuracy of all related information, and must accept all due consequence. The RDS Registrations Office is not liable for any incidental, special or consequential damages arising out of the use or inability to use an AID, whether in transmission or reception equipment.
