Hi Nick, You are completely correct.
Actually, this approach (NB is only needed for deviations in testing to Articles 3.2 and 3.3; but not needed for deviations in testing for 3.1) was apparently the original intention with 1999/5/EC, but it was not correctly or clearly written. 2014/53/EU corrects that. Thanks, Michael. -----Original Message----- From: Nick Williams [mailto:nick.willi...@conformance.co.uk] Sent: 04 January 2017 12:18 To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: [PSES] Conformity assessment under RED Happy New Year, EMC-PSTC listers! 2014/15/EU article 17 separates the conformity assessment procedures for essential requirement 3.1 (safety and EMC) from those which are applied for essential requirements 3.2 and 3.3 (spectrum efficiency and special provisions). Notified Body intervention is required for ER’s 3.2 and 3.3 if the manufacturer has not applied harmonised standards, but no such requirement is applied for ER 3.1. My reading of this is that the manufacturer has complete freedom of approach under RED for safety and EMC compliance in exactly the same way that they do under the LVD and EMC Directive, and can self-certifiy even if they do not apply harmonised standards, irrespective of whether or not they are required to involve a NoBo for compliance with ER’s 3.2 & 3.3. This is not how things worked under 1999/5/EC. Is my interpretation correct, and if not, why not? - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
