Care must be taken when quoting from guidance documents..... The sentence "Where a radio system is integrated on site — as in the case of microwave point-to-point and point-to-multipoint systems — the system integrator is responsible for ensuring compliance of the system with the Directive when the system is brought into service." Is in a section dealing with the integration of a unit with an antenna, it is not in the context of combining two or more boxes to form a radio transmitter or transceiver.
I suspect that a complete answer to this issue could only be given when knowing more detail as to the exact application of this device Regards Charlie -----Original Message----- From: John Woodgate [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 21 March 2013 08:41 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [PSES] SV: [PSES] SV: [PSES] RTTE - Radio product or not In message <000b01ce2609$28d0d960$7a728c20$@no>, dated Thu, 21 Mar 2013, Amund Westin <[email protected]> writes: >Radio tests on one combination of A+B is approximate $10.000.

You have quoted several old messages unnecessarily, but you seem to have missed the most important one. Anthony Thomson wrote: QUOTE However… I guess it's entirely possible that any meaningful assessment against the R&TTED may not be possible on the separate components assuming both are required to implement the ‘radio’. In this case, the Commission's 2009 guide offers some very helpful advice: “Where a radio system is integrated on site — as in the case of microwave point-to-point and point-to-multipoint systems — the system integrators responsible for ensuring compliance of the system with the Directive when the system is brought into service.” So my opinion would be that each component of the system falls under the R&TTED and it is the system integrator's responsibility for compliance. ENDQUOTE This means that manufacturer A need only ensure that product A meets the relevant requirements. Responsibility for making sure that combinations of A with B1, B2, B3... rests with the 'system integrators' who put the products to work together. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
