Introduction to EU RED certification
Directive 1999/5 / EC has been implemented for many years and many places can not meet existing products. In fact, the EU has already begun drafting new directives in 2007, but the progress is not so fast, so in 2011 and then submitted a draft to the European Commission, and finally in May 22, 2014, the EU official announced a new version of the wireless device Directive RED 2014/53 / EU, which is based on the new CE Framework Resolution 768/2008 / EC, which replaces the original EU Wireless Directive R & TTE-D 1999/5 / EC. The original R & TTE Directive 1999/5 / EC will be abolished from June 13, 2016, and the products that have been evaluated by the old directive can continue to be sold to June 13, 2017. After June 13, 2017, only the wireless devices evaluated under the new RED 2014/53 / EU are allowed to be sold on the EU market. The purpose of the new directive is to clarify the spectrum of the use of the spectrum to improve the effectiveness of the use of more convenient members of the implementation of regulations between countries and market monitoring.
Wireless products must be legally sold in the EU before the implementation of the test must be approved in accordance with RED instructions, but also must have CE-mark. Wireless remote control products must comply with the RED Directive RED 2014/53 / EU requirements.
RED certification scope
1, short distance wireless remote control products (SRD) For example: remote control toy car, remote alarm system, remote control doorbell, remote control switch, remote control mouse, keyboard,
2, professional radio remote control products (PMR) For example: professional wireless walkie-talkie, wireless microphone;
3, wireless telephone CTO, CT1, CT1;
4, ISDN (digital telephone products);
5, DECT (enhanced digital wireless telephone);
6, mobile phone GSM, CDMA test;
7, Bluetooth products such as: Bluetooth headset;
8, the operating frequency <9 kHz induction data transmission equipment;
9, wireless radio receiver equipment.
RED certification and the difference between the old version of R & TTE
1, RED product range includes only wireless communication and wireless identification equipment (such as RFID, radar, motion detection, etc.). RF equipment is not used for communication or identification will be in the electromagnetic compatibility EMC directive and low voltage LVD instruction control;
2, the wired communication terminal equipment (TTE) is removed, so the RED instruction is only for wireless products;
3, the radio receiver is now included in the scope of the RED instruction (previously covered in the EMC compliant and low voltage LVD instructions);
4, the instruction coverage frequency lower limit has been canceled (before R & TTE control start frequency is 9 kHz), while the upper limit is still 3000 GHz;
5, the announcement of institutional assessment opinion is now "type inspection certificate" to replace;
6, the manufacturer can only use the CE mark (full quality assurance - type H) with the announcement organization number after its quality system has been evaluated by the announcement body;
7, two types of equipment to the national spectrum of the requirements of the agency is no longer required;
8, the identification of two types of equipment (warning number) is no longer needed, but in some countries limited use of the warning still need to appear in the product packaging;
9, no longer need to appear in the user manual CE mark, but the manual must be marked with the use of radio frequency band and transmit power;
10, personal assessment of the kit is no longer subject to control (that is, do not need RED certification);
11, the new directive requires the use of a unified charger;
12, the manufacturer and importer's address and contact must appear on the device, and when the device is too small can appear in the user manual. The following are the same as the "
Existing changes and other changes in the future will affect your company in this year and the next few years of product certification, so from now on the new directive must be taken into account your product design and marketing, especially for the new Add to the product in the instruction, such as:
Radio receiver equipment;
Operating frequency <9 kHz induction data transmission equipment. The following are the same as the "
According to the new EU framework resolution 768/2008 / EC, the RED directive also makes clear the responsibilities of manufacturers, importers, distributors and EU representatives respectively. The name and address of the manufacturer and importer must be identified on the product or the accompanying instructions.
RED certification test project
1, electromagnetic compatibility test (EMC test);
2, safety test LVD (new directive, for the battery input RF products, also require this test);
3, according to the European ETSI standard for radio communication equipment testing (RF test);
4, Europe to allow the spectrum of information notification (Notification);
5, CTR (TBR) test;
6, electrical safety and health protection test (SAR assessment).
RED certification required information
1. user manual
2. circuit schematic;
3. Block diagram (Block Diagram, also called module function diagram);
4. Circuit alignment diagram (PCB LAYOUT);
5. PCB placement;
6. Description of the operation (explanation of the block diagram);
7. Component List (BOM LIST);
8.label (label);
9. Antenna specifications (or antenna gain graphs);
10. Charger LVD report;
11. Fixed frequency software (also known as fixed frequency program. So that the launch module can be set at a certain frequency point of continuous launch, the general BT and WIFI must provide).
RED certification cycle
Regular 2 weeks, can be anxious.
