In addition to Charlie's words...... Although you may choose to 'carry forward' some of the radio transmitter test results from the module; you are not actually carrying forward the "equipment authorisation" and this does not mean you are any less responsible for the radio performance of the end product.
The end product supplier is still responsible. (It's not like FCC or IC modular approval, where the module manufacturer retains some responsibility). So, yes, you can carry forward (trust?) the radio test results from the module if you choose, if you trust them and you think they're applicable to your application. Michael.

Amund There's guidance on integrating "assessed" radio modules into products at http://www.rtteca.com/TGN01Rev5.pdf Basically, you may well be able to "carry forward" the RF spectrum compliance of the module, subject to meeting some criteria, but you will need to assess the finished product for EMC and safety Regards Charlie -----Original Message----- From: amund [mailto:am...@westin-emission.no] Sent: 12 October 2012 12:24 To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: [PSES] CE+CE ... Consider a radio system under development (radiomodule, SMPS, hard disk, main board, etc) All parts in the system are COST (and CE marked) and the main work is now an engineering job and make some SW. When system is functioning and ready for putting it on the marked, the complete RTTE approval must be carried out, even though that all modules are CE marked. No other outcome, agree? #Amund - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
