A Notified Body number is not required unless a Notified Body (NB or CAB) is consulted for the job. Since there are Harmonized standards that can be used for this type of product, a NB/CAB is not required. The manufacturer is responsible for compliance with the Essential Requirements of the Directives, therefore they are responsible for notifying the different Member States of the EU of their intent to market the device in their country.

France is not harmonized to the rest on the EU in the 2.4Ghz spread spectrum. Yes you will need a NOTIFIED BODY number to submit with the country notifications Yes you need to send notification to each country that you want to sell into. There is a 30 day waiting period for each country to reply before you can sell into that market. {they may respond sooner that the 30 days} They may reject especially if there is an external antenna. If you are shipping out of the United States, and the product has an embedded encryption engine; you need to file for an export license with the US BXA. Also you need to comply with control of export to the T7 terrorist countries ban. Gerald Tammi Zoom Telephonics. Boston, MA From: Jan Heffken [mailto:jheff...@core.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2003 10:04 AM To: emc-p...@majordomo.ieee.org Subject: R&TTE Directive Member States Notification I am a little confused about paragraph 31 of the R&TTE Directive. I have copied it below. My understanding is that if our equipment (2.4GHz outdoor WLAN) operates in a non-harmonised frequency band, then we have to Notify Member States where it is not harmonised. Where can I find answers to the following questions. Is the 2,4GHz. spread spectum band harmonized through the EU? Which Member States have not harmonized? Do I have to go through a Notified Body to Notify? Since paragraph 31 uses "should" and not "shall" do I have to do it all? Paragraph 31 from the R&TTE Directive. (31) Whereas manufacturers should notify Member States of their intention to place radio equipment on the market using frequency bands whose use is not harmonised throughout the Community; whereas Member States therefore need to put in place procedures for such notification; whereas such procedures should be proportionate and should not constitute a conformity assessment procedure additional to those provided for in Annexes IV or V; whereas it is desirable that those notification procedures should be harmonised and preferably implemented by electronic means and one-stop-shopping; Thanks in advance, Jan Heffken -- CoreComm Webmail. http://home.core.com This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
