Radio station: site and radiation dossier
A radio-station site dossier connects an identified installation to its technical configuration, exposure assessment and relevant authority procedures. France and Switzerland have different installation and radiation frameworks, with Swiss cantonal or municipal procedures requiring local identification. Record antenna changes, measurements and imposed conditions. A frequency right does not establish that the particular site, construction or operating configuration has received every required approval.

What local location or construction procedures apply?
France: identify the relevant local location and construction procedures for the actual project. Switzerland: name the canton and commune and the applicable site procedure; this worksheet supplies no uniform nationwide building-permission route or deadline.

Which site and antenna configuration define the installation?
France: identify the site, antennas, orientation and operating configuration with dated plans. Switzerland: define the same actual installation for the ORNI assessment; equipment conformity alone does not establish the characteristics or exposure conditions of the completed site.

What local location or construction procedures apply?
France: identify the relevant local location and construction procedures for the actual project. Switzerland: name the canton and commune and the applicable site procedure; this worksheet supplies no uniform nationwide building-permission route or deadline.

Which radiation assessment and installation data are available?
France: connect the site data and available assessment with ANFR’s relevant L43 coordination framework. Switzerland: ORNI 11 identifies site-data requirements within its scope; the worksheet records evidence rather than calculating radiation or certifying compliance.

| Which site and antenna configuration define the installation? | France: identify the site, antennas, orientation and operating configuration with dated plans.

| Which radiation assessment and installation data are available? | France: connect the site data and available assessment with ANFR’s relevant L43 coordination framework. Switzerland: ORNI 11 identifies site-data requirements within its scope; the worksheet records evidence rather than calculating radiation or certifying compliance. |
| What relevant exposure locations and technical assumptions are recorded? | France: preserve relevant exposure locations and technical assumptions for the submitted configuration. Switzerland: distinguish sensitive-use locations under ORNI 3 and other assessed locations; missing power or location data must not be supplied by an unverified assumption. |

Which notifications or permissions accompany the site dossier?
France: retain notifications, permissions and authority findings with their precise scope. Switzerland: connect the installation data sheet, cantonal procedure and actual decisions; a submitted file is neither an approved site nor proof that every condition has been discharged.

Which official provision helps explain this situation?
A radio-station site dossier connects an identified installation to its technical configuration, exposure assessment and relevant authority procedures. France and Switzerland have different installation and radiation frameworks, with Swiss cantonal or municipal procedures requiring local identification. Record antenna changes, measurements and imposed conditions. A frequency right does not establish that the particular site, construction or operating configuration has received every required approval.
What antenna or operating changes require renewed examination?
France: compare antenna, power, orientation and operation changes with the existing assessment. Switzerland: identify changes falling within the relevant ORNI 11 branch and site procedure; an old assessment does not automatically cover the revised configuration.

Which measurements, inspections and conditions remain traceable?
France: preserve measurements, method, dates and prescriptions without creating an unverified universal measurement schedule. Switzerland: ORNI 12 provides the authority-control framework, including the relevant measurement or calculation evidence; the tool does not make the technical compliance finding.

Why must site approvals be checked separately from frequency entitlement?
France: distinguish spectrum entitlement from physical-site and exposure decisions. Switzerland: retain the same separation between frequency use and ORNI or construction requirements; possession of either record alone does not establish every permission for the actual station.
