Hi all, I have a product family to run pre-compliance measurements on. They are lighting fixtures, so normally they'd fall under the scope of EMCD and IEC/EN 55015. However, these particular fixtures have a wireless transmitter and receiver, so my (limited) understanding is that these would fall under R&TTE. In EN 301 489-1 (http://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_en/301400_301499/30148901/01.09.02_60/en_30148901v010902p.pdf ), the row for radiated emissions in the table in 7.1 (EMC emission) references 8.2, which says to test to 55022 class B. However, the same table row lists the application as "enclosure of ancillary equipment". According to the definition of ancillary equipment as specified in the European standards, the fixture is not ancillary equipment, as it can function on its own without the transmitter/receiver. So what emission limits apply? FCC testing is easier, because as long as one uses an already-certified transmitter component in a product, the normal radiated emissions testing applies as if the transmitter wasn't in the product.
