EMC 2014/30/EU (replace EMC directive

Implemented 20.04.2016

RED 2014/53/EU (replace R&TTE directive 1999/5/EC)

Implemented 13.June 2017 after one year transition period

New directives

2

New revisions of existing standards

and new standards for a range of new

products now falling under RED and

EMC directive.

Focus on receiver requirements for all

types of radio equipment

Standard development

3

EMC standards for non radio products

EN 55032 – Emission

EN 55035 - Immunity

EMC standards for radio products

EN 301 489- (1 to 52)

EN 301 489-19 GNSS receivers

Radio standards

EN 300 328 WiFi & Bluetooth 2,4GHz

EN 301 893 WiFi 5 GHz

EN 300 220 Short range (25 MHz to 1GHz)

EN 303 413 GNSS receivers

New Standards

4

Multimedia equipment

• Common framework for the marketing of products

• Improved market surveillance rules, safer products

• Clear rules (accreditation) for conformity

assessment bodies

• Clarifies the meaning of CE marking

What is new?

RED essential requirements

16

Adding Radio modules into non-radio products

• Product behavior changes

• Radio brings with it new opportunities and new challenges

• Many existing standards only address issues around the

core product or primary function

• Combined equipment is radio equipment

• EG 203 367 (ETSI) help to understand the conformity

assessment of this type of equipment

Use of Radio modules

17

Using pre-approved modules

18

A radio module is a stand-alone radio

transmitter or transceiver on its own PWB with

all radio functions built on the board.

• Not a reference design

• Complies with all applicable rules in its own

right

• Must be tested with specific antenna(s).

What is a module

19

Complete radio test (WiFi & Bluetooth)

20

Radio test performance

21

A radio chipset placed on the product’s main

PWB is not a radio module.

• A copy of a reference design is not a module

• Does not contain design elements as antenna

matching circuitry and antenna.

• Not tested on it’s own PWB

What is not a module?

22

Additional tests?

• Radiated Spurious emissions

• Output power (EIRP)

Why?

New antenna’s can have different gain and

exeed the required output power.

New antenna can have different impedance

matching and could generate unwanted

emissions.

Using approved radio module with new antenna

23

• Must have an up-to-date certification

• May have conditions not met in all products

• Distributors often sell inventory, not solutions for certification

• Consider technical support: certificates, reports

• Software tools for continuous transmission, frequency selection and

modulation etc.

Considerations on choosing a module

24

Many countries do not have a modular approval scheme and thus do not allow

modular certification

Some countries will allow for modular approval but only in specific types of end

products (ITE and Household products)

A country that does not allow for modular certification may allow the test data for the

module to be used to gain certification on various end products but only allow one

model per certificate.

Some countries that allow modular approval:

• Canada/USA

• China (for radio modules that will be used in ITE or Household devices.

• EU (self-declaration for the end product)

• Japan

Where is modular approval allowed?

25

• Labelling is mandatory for the module Labelling is also mandatory for the host

Labelling the end product for modular approvals

Radio and non-Radio «Combined Equipment»

27

• Refrigerator with WiFi

• WiFi Scales

• WiFi Coffee machines

• WiFi Dishwashers

• Smart products

• IOT connected home products

Using already approved radio modules

• No need for duplicate radio measurements

• Emissions from the complete product with the radio active is however necessary.

Using non-approved radio modules or chipset.

• Complete radio performance test have to be performed.

Radio and non-Radio «Combined Equipment»

28

RED essential requirements, cont.

29

Radio equipment falling under the scope of the RED are

excluded from both the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) and

Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (EMCD):

Therefore the LVD and EMCD do not apply. However the RED

refers to the essential requirements of the LVD and EMCD.
