RE: LVD testing suite for ITE devices

Hi Stuart, Sounds like your referring to a PCMCIA radio card that can be integrated into a host device. If so, you probably have an RTTE project that does also include the LVD. The test suite for this device would depend on the frequency band. If its 2.4 GHz equipment, then EN 300 328(Radio

All; It is my opinion that if Annex III is applied, that a notified body is not required. Take for example 2.4GHz ISM equipment, although the frequency band is not harmonized, the standards are(as of 14/2/2001), and according to the Annex III, a notified body is not required. There is nothing
