Dear Members, Please help me to understand the conformity assessment procedure per the RTTE Directive. Paragraph 4 of Article 10 of Directive 1999/5/EC states: "Where a manufacturer has applied the harmonized standard referred to in Article 5(1), radia equipment not within the scope of paragraph 3 shall be subject to the procedures described in any one of Annexes III, IV or V at the choice of the manufacturer." Annex III states:
"For each type of apparatus, all essential radio test suites must be carried out by the manufacturer or on his behalf. The identification of the test suites that are considered to be essential is the responsibility of a notified body chosen by the manufacturer except where the test suites are defined in the harmonized standards. The notified body must take due account of previous decisions made by notified bodies acting together. The manufacturer or his authorized representative established within the Community or the person responsible for placing the apparatus on the market must declare that these tests have been carried out and that the apparatus complies with the essential requirements and must affix the notified body's identification number during the manufacturing process." I don't understand the first paragraph of Annex III. My question is: do I need to have my lab (in a manufacturer) registed with one of notified bodies to be considered to be essential? If not, what is the marking requirement, "CE" ( 433.92MHz) or "CE plus alert sign" (2.4GHz SS), or others? Thank you very much for your time and look forward to your help.
