Product B isn’t a radio without product A attached, therefore product
A is part of a radio system and the R&TTE Directive applies.
I would tentatively agree: in CENELEC long ago, the question was (half
seriously) raised as to whether a washing machine with a microprocessor
was a household appliance or ITE. The answer was that the 'intended
function' is definitive.
I think this can be extended to products like A and B, which are not
intended to work alone but are components of a system. The 'intended
function' of the system is a radio, so the component parts are 'radio'.
