Hi Mike,
I have added comments in red text below… Michael. Michael Derby Senior Regulatory Engineer Director ACB Europe Certification Resource for the Wireless Industry Web: www.acbcert.com <http://www.acbcert.com/> From: Mike Sherman ----- Original Message ----- [mailto:msherma...@comcast.net] Sent: 17 April 2017 03:02 To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: [PSES] RED, "Radio Equipment" and USB Dongle and the like Esteemed colleagues: I'm trying to map the boundaries of "radio equipment" under RED by examples. Do you agree with the following two examples? EXAMPLE 1: USB Dongle I use a USB dongle to add WiFi to an old laptop. The dongle is the radio equipment, but the laptop was not and does not become one by the addition of this dongle. MD: Correct. The USB dongle is not installed within the laptop, and it is easily removed from the laptop. The Dongle is the Radio (RED) product and the laptop is the non-radio (EMCD+LVD) device. EXAMPLE 2: SD Card Format WiFi I use a WiFi card in the form factor of an SD card to add WiFi picture transmission to an old digital camera. The WiFi card is radio equipment, but the camera was not and does not become one by the addition of this card. MD: This would depend on the installation of that card. If the WiFi card is easily removed from the camera (such as with a card slot and easy access), then I think you are correct. However, if the WiFi card is incorporated into the camera and permanently fixed within it (such that it might need tools to remove it); then the camera becomes a radio. Thanks, Michael. thanks to all, Mike Sherman Graco Inc. - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
