To All,

In Europe:

No recent version has been cited yet, but for the EN 301 489-1:V1.9.2 under the EMCD. For now this is the only version "available" for certification without Notified Body. I can confirm that this version is not suitable for the RED. No harmonised cited version is available for the RED up to now. If you use a NB, citation is not relevant anymore, and any standard version can be applied, including 1.9.2, 2.2.0, 2.2.1 and the 2.2.2 (currently under vote and expected in December) but you will need to convince the NB of the suitability of that standard covering the ERs from the directive. Not sure if the sudden relaxation to Class A in V2.2.0 Clause 8.2 is accepted by the NB, given the latest harmonized version that did not contain that relaxation. Surprising is that this Class A thing got into the standards but did not make it to the change history in Annex D in any of the 3 versions above.

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.

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

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.

    You can use Class A for industrial locations under EN 301 489-1:

    8.2.3 Limits

    The ancillary equipment shall meet the class B limits given in
    CENELEC EN 55032 [1], annex A tables A.4 and A.5.

    *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

    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.

        Not exactly. 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.

            John,

            Are you saying that a product with intentional radiator
            only needs to meet Class A for emissions in EU? i.e there
            is no difference in terms of the limit between intentional
            and unintentional radiators when it comes to EU. Is that a
            correct statement?

            Thanks

            That should be CISPR 35, not CISPR 24 now. In Europe, it
            would be Class A. The manual should say 'This product is
            not to be used in a residential environment.'.

            To give a reliable answer, we need to know the type of
            product or the EMC emission standard that applies (e.g.
            CISPR 14-1/EN 55014-1) and which countries/regions it will
            be sold in.

            I have a client that design and manufacture products for

            of a BT module. I am told that the product must meet Class
