Re: [PSES] Bluetooth audio product

[Scott Xe]

Hi Ian,

Apart from R/RED, you need to verify your product meeting ErP Directive in 
standby/off mode as well since your product is powered over ethernet.

Regards,

Scott

Re: [PSES] Bluetooth audio product

I could fully agree about IC (now calling themselves ISED)  As IC/ISED
typically only accepts data for RF certification up 1 year past measurement
date, it is well worth filing for IC/ISED for Canada at the same time as
FCC certification.  Even if you are not planning on marketing in Canada
now, the 'couple bucks for filing purposes' can save having to re-test down
the road.

Re: [PSES] Bluetooth audio product

[dward]

Careful with the idea that the US and Canada are ‘fully harmonized’. That 
simply aint the case.  There are a number of things that must be considered for 
transmitters that are different between the US and Canada.  What can be said is 
that most likely, if you do testing per the Canadian requirements, then the FCC 
is probably met as well, but not necessarily the other way around.

Thanks

Hello Ian,

 

Your product will now need to meet the R Directive.   No longer will it be 
the EMCD and LVD.

 

You’ll still need to consider your audio operation during your EMC testing 
(does my audio still work when I apply EMC tests?), just as you have always

But now, in addition, you will need to test that the Bluetooth link also 
continues to work during the EMC tests.   The standard to look at there is EN

You will need to test the Bluetooth radio performance to an appropriate

Dear Colleagues.

I have an audio product that is Powered over Ethernet, has Bluetooth capability

residential/consumer environment. I am very familiar with testing audio 
products without wireless capability but this is the first product I have 
encountered with Bluetooth that requires EMC and safety testing.
I believe that when a product has wireless capability that the EMC testing is

Please can someone advise me regarding the process for the EU and FCC

Subject: [PSES] Bluetooth audio product

 

Dear Colleagues.

 

I have an audio product that is Powered over Ethernet, has Bluetooth
capability and has various audio inputs and outputs. The product can be used
in a residential/consumer environment. I am very familiar with testing audio
products without wireless capability but this is the first product I have
encountered with Bluetooth that requires EMC and safety testing.

I believe that when a product has wireless capability that the EMC testing
is more formal. For example; am I required to use a notified body as I
assume the RED/RTTE directive will apply? Do I have to register the product
with the FCC? 

Please can someone advise me regarding the process for the EU and FCC
compliance.

 

Many thanks in advance,

 

Ian McBurney

Design & Compliance Engineer.
