Amund, Regarding your second paragraph, a cost-effective approach is to develop a Test Plan that specifies tests on a reasonable number of combinations, submit it to a Notified Body for review, then get the Notified Body Expert Opinion based on that plan and the test results.

I see the 'intended function' ... Agree that Item A should be handled as a radio product. But it will be hard to make compliance to radio standards since the product Item, A is only a part of a total radio systems. Radio parameters according to ETSI / EN standards will not be able to check before a complete systems (Item A + B) is running. These parameters will not be able to check before the complete system is running. Let me just comment that Item A is made by a single manufacturer and Item B is made by manufacturer B and there are many possible Item B's on the market. Testing out all possible configurations of Itema A + Item B is considered unacceptable, since it will cover 95% of configurations which never will be used and it would also cost a huge amount of $$. Thanks. #Amund -----Opprinnelig melding----- Fra: John Woodgate [mailto:[email protected]] Sendt: 19. mars 2013 20:42 Til: [email protected] Emne: Re: [PSES] RTTE - Radio product or not In message <[email protected]>, dated Tue, 19 Mar 2013, Charlie Blackham <[email protected]> writes: > >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'. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only. See www.jmwa.demon.co.uk SHOCK HORROR!
