Hi Charlie,
The last presentation from ETSI that I recall on the topic, stated that we should be looking at EN 301 489-1 V2.x.x and newer. We should not be considering the old EN 301 489-1 V1.9.2 because that is simply not sufficient for the RED. Thanks, Michael. From: Charlie Blackham <[email protected]> Sent: 17 September 2019 13:12 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [PSES] Intentional radiator Class A or Class B Gert EN 301 489-1 V1.9.2 was published in 2011 and is quite old now As you know, EN 301 489-1 V2.1.1 was published by ETSI in February 2017 and the latest draft, V2.2.0 was issued by ETSI in March 2019 - both contain radiated immunity requirements to 6 GHz, which are more extensive than those in V1.9.2, and both contain the Class A option for emissions, though with slightly different wording As far as I know, V1.9.2 won't ever be cited under the RED - though nor will V2.1.1 - and the communication from ETSI suggest that the issues in V2.2.0 mainly revolve around equipment performance monitoring and criteria and not the Class A/B option for appropriate end environments Are you suggesting that V1.9.2 is a better standard to apply under the RED than either V2.1.1 or V2.2.0? I also know that you're involved in the process of standard being published in the OJ, so any further light you can shed on this matter would be greatly appreciated Regards Charlie Charlie Blackham Sulis Consultants Ltd Tel: +44 (0)7946 624317 Web: https://sulisconsultants.com/ Registered in England and Wales, number 05466247 From: Gert Gremmen <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Sent: 17 September 2019 11:56 To: Charlie Blackham <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> >; [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: [PSES] Intentional radiator Class A or Class B Hi Charlie That version of the standard 301-489-1 V2.2.1 has not yet been approved, yet published, so be careful.... For now keep relying on V1.9.2 , that does not mention your text on industrial environment, and that has not yet been cited under the RED either.

Alternatively, for ancillary equipment intended to be used exclusively in an industrial environment or telecommunication centres, the class A limits given in CENELEC EN 55032 [1], annex A tables A.2 and A.3 may be used. If the screen is "ancillary equipment", another EMC standard can be used as per section 5.4, though it is more likely to be "combined and/or integrated radio and non-radio equipment" so the advice in EN 303 446-x can be followed Also, of course, a RED Notified Body (NB) is only required where the applicable article 3.2 or 3.3 Harmonised Standard is not used The manufacturer is free to choose the EMC and safety standard without use of NB if they wish Charlie Blackham Sulis Consultants Ltd Tel: +44 (0)7946 624317 Web: https://sulisconsultants.com/ Registered in England and Wales, number 05466247 From: Gert Gremmen <mailto:[email protected]> <[email protected]> Sent: 17 September 2019 09:01 To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: [PSES] Intentional radiator Class A or Class B Note that for intentional transmitters the EMCD en LVD are not applicable (but the RED is!). And so are the standards listed for them. Probably as this is a transceiver with ancillary equipment (though heavily integrated?) the combi EN 301489-17/EN 301 489-1 will be applicable. The latter limits the emission Class to Class B (for ancillary electronics) only and refers to EN 55032 as test method. Note that RED standards are prone to changes in the close future, make sure you have the last version and re-check if another version may be listed (cited) in the OJ-L. Use a Notified Body otherwise.

The question was strictly about 'Class', which of course can mean different things in different standards, but my answer is, I think, correct for Europe. Intentional radiation is excluded from the CISPR standards and is covered by the ETSI standards cited by Charlie Blackham.

This product consists of a BT module. I am told that the product must meet Class B emissions. Is this correct? What if we put an statement in the user manual stating that this product is not to be used in residential market? Would that give us the pass to go to Class A?
