Monrad, Please find the following answers regarding Taiwan BSMI's requirements concerning 1-6GHz. The answers are provided by the chief EMC engineer at BSMI. ====================================================================================================
Regarding Taiwan BSMI, how will this 1-6GHz test requirement be implemented?? Currently, the DOCs and BSMI certificates just list the standard CNS13438:2006.? There is no mention of whether 1-6GHz was tested since currently Taiwan states that 1-6GHz testing is not required.? So ... how will someone know if the product was tested to 1-6GHz?? It will be shown on the new application certificate. BSMI will announce it when the new requirement is published. Will the 1-6GHz only be enforced as new products are submitted for BSMI approvals?? Would already approved products (without 1-6GHz) certificates/DOCs be good for the normal 3 years and just need to have a test with 1-6GHz when it is time to renew the BSMI certificate/DOC?? If the product is no any change, the original certificate could be still valid until its due date. As for the new application after the implemention date, it should follow the rew requirement. Has Taiwan BSMI published any of this information online?? Not yet. ==================================================================================================== On 8/21/09, Monrad Monsen <[email protected]> wrote: You can view the clean PDF of 2009/C 197/03 issued today at the following web address: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:C:2009:197:0003:0003:EN:PDF Based on the 2009/C 197/03, it appears that manufacturers are granted an extra year before their products must meet the requirements of EN55022:2006+A1:2007 which requires testing in 1-6GHz with the 4dB tighter limits compared to FCC in the frequency range 1-3GHz. The new deadline is 1 October 2011. I haven't heard of any issues about floor-standing equipment. We have floor-standing equipment and the testing goes smoothly. However, every information technology manufacturer was under a lot of time pressure to test already released products to the new test methodology and limits -- especially if you have a big product line. With the limits at 1-3GHz being 4dB tighter than FCC, some products may require fixes or an accelerated End-of-Life (EOL) decision. This one year delay gives manufacturers more time to perform the testing and make those decisions. I have some related questions: 1. Will Japan VCCI delay its 1 October 2010 deadline to match Europe? 2. Will China CCC delay its 1 March 2011 deadline to still give an extra five months time after the Europe deadline to go through the in-country test and bureaucracy effort to update the CCC approvals? I would hope the 1-6GHz test requirement would be delayed to at least 1 March 2012. 3. Will China CCC delay its 1 September 2010 deadline to upgrade CCC approvals to include the testing of telecommunications ports? Unfortunately, if this deadline is not extended, we will still have to rush to send all our products to China for testing even if the 1-6GHz test requirement is delayed. Thanks. Monrad L.
