Introduction to EU RED certification
The 1999/5/EC directive has been implemented for many years, and many places can not meet the existing products. In fact, the European Union had already started drafting new directives in 2007, but the progress was not so fast. So a draft was submitted to the European Commission in 2011. Finally, on May 22, 2014, the European Union officially published a new version of the wireless equipment directive RED 2014/53/EU, which was based on the EU's new CE framework resolution 768/2008/EC. RED 2014/53/EU replaced the original EU wireless equipment directive R&TTE-D 1999/5/EC. Since the EU officially announced the new directive and came into force, there has been a transition period of two years. From June 13, 2016, the original R&TTE directive 1999/5/EC will be abolished, and products that have been evaluated according to the old directive can continue to be sold until June 13, 2017. After June 13, 2017, only wireless devices evaluated according to the new RED 2014/53/EU are allowed to be sold in the EU market. The purpose of the new directive is to clarify the scope of spectrum use, improve the effectiveness of spectrum use, and make it easier for member countries to implement regulations and conduct market monitoring.
Before wireless products can be legally sold in EU countries, they must be tested and approved according to the RED directive, and must also have CE-mark. Wireless remote control products must meet the requirements of RED directive RED 2014/53/EU.
RED certification scope
1. Short range wireless remote control products (SRD), such as: remote control toy car, remote control alarm system, remote control doorbell, remote control switch, remote control mouse, keyboard, etc;
2. Professional radio remote control products (PMR), such as professional wireless interphone, wireless microphone, etc;
3. Wireless telephone CTO, CT1, CT1;
4. ISDN (digital telephone product);
5. DECT (Enhanced Digital Radio Telephone);
6. Mobile phone GSM, WCDMA, LTE test;
7. Bluetooth products, such as Bluetooth headset;
8. Inductive data transmission equipment with operating frequency<9 kHz;
9. Radio broadcast receiver equipment.
Differences between RED certification and previous R&TTE
1. RED product range only includes wireless communication and wireless identification equipment (such as RFID, radar, mobile detection, etc.). RF equipment not used for communication or identification will be under the control of EMC directive and low-voltage LVD directive;
2. Wired communication terminal equipment (TTE) has been removed, so RED instruction is only used for wireless products;
3. The radio broadcasting receiver has been included in the scope of RED directive (previously covered in EMC directive and low-voltage LVD directive);
4. The lower limit of the command coverage frequency has been canceled (the previous control starting frequency of R&TTE was 9 kHz), while the upper limit is still 3000 GHz;
5. The evaluation opinion of the notified body has been replaced by the "type inspection certificate";
6. The manufacturer can only use the CE mark with the notified body number (full quality assurance – type H) after its quality system has been evaluated by the notified body;
7. Class II equipment is no longer required to notify national spectrum agencies;
8. The identification (warning number) of Class II equipment is no longer required, but the warning of restricted use in some countries still needs to appear on the product packaging;
9. CE mark is no longer required in the user manual, but the frequency band and transmission power used by RF must be indicated in the manual;
10. The kit for personal evaluation is no longer controlled (that is, it does not require RED certification);
11. The new directive requires the use of a unified charger;
12. The address and contact information of the manufacturer and importer must appear on the device, and can appear in the user manual when the device is too small.
These existing changes and other changes in the future will affect your product certification this year and in the next few years, so you must start to take the new directive into account in the design and marketing of your products, especially for the products newly added to the directive, such as:
Radio broadcast receiver equipment;
Inductive data transmission equipment with operating frequency<9 kHz.
According to the new EU Framework Resolution 768/2008/EC, the RED Directive also clearly stipulates the responsibilities of manufacturers, importers, distributors and EU representatives. The name and address of the manufacturer and importer must be marked on the product or attached instructions.
RED certification test items
1. Electromagnetic compatibility test (EMC test);
2. Safety regulation test LVD (in the new directive, this test is also required for RF products input by batteries);
3. Conduct radio communication equipment test (RF test) according to European ETSI standards;
4. Notification of spectrum allowed in Europe;
5. CTR (TBR) test;
6. Electrical safety and health protection test (SAR evaluation).
Data required for RED certification
1. User manual;
2. Circuit schematic diagram;
3. Block Diagram (also called module function diagram);
4. Circuit wiring diagram (PCB LAYOUT);
5. PCB placement;
6. Operation description (explanation of block diagram);
7. BOM LIST;
8. label;
9. Antenna specification (or antenna gain diagram);
10. Charger LVD report;
11. Fixed frequency software (also known as fixed frequency program. It enables the transmission module to continuously transmit at a certain frequency point. Some specific products also need the assistance of fixed frequency fixture to ensure that the fixed frequency command is sent and received by the sample to be tested. Generally, BT and WIFI must provide it).
RED certification period
Regular 3-4 weeks, can be expedited.
