On May 22, 2014, the EU officially announced a new version of the wireless equipment directive red 2014 / 53 / EU, which is based on the EU's new CE framework resolution 768 / 2008 / EC. Red 2014 / 53 / EU replaces the original EU Wireless Equipment Directive R & tte-d 1999 / 5 / EC. There is a two-year transition period since the EU officially announced the new directive and came into force. From June 13, 2016, the original R & TTE Directive 1999 / 5 / EC will be abolished, and the products 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 States to implement laws and regulations and conduct market monitoring.
Before wireless products can be legally sold in EU countries, they must be tested and approved according to red directive, and must also have CE mark. Wireless remote control products must comply with 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 walkie talkie, wireless microphone, etc.
3. Radiotelephone CTO, CT1, CT1 +
4. ISDN (digital telephone product)
5. DECT (enhanced digital radiotelephone)
6. GSM and CDMA test of mobile phone
7. Bluetooth products such as Bluetooth headset.
8. Inductive data transmission equipment with operating frequency < 9 kHz.
9. Radio broadcast receiver equipment
Difference between red and old R & TTE:
1. Red products only include wireless communication and wireless identification equipment (such as RFID, radar, mobile detection, etc.). If RF equipment is not used for communication or identification, it will be under the control of EMC directive and low voltage LVD directive;
2. The wired communication terminal equipment (TTE) is removed, so the red instruction is only used for wireless products;
3. Radio broadcast receivers are now included in the scope of red directive (previously covered in EMC directive and low voltage LVD directive);
4. The lower limit of command coverage frequency has been cancelled (the control starting frequency of R & TTE was 9 kHz before), while the upper limit is still 3000 GHz;
5. The evaluation opinion of the notified body has been replaced by "type inspection certificate";
6. The manufacturer can use the CE mark with the notified body number only after its quality system has been evaluated by the notified body (full quality assurance - type H);
7. The requirement for class II equipment to notify national spectrum agencies is no longer required;
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. Kits for personal assessment are no longer controlled (i.e. red certification is not required);
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 equipment, and can appear in the user manual when the equipment is too small.
Red 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 with battery input)
3. Radio communication equipment test (RF test) according to European ETSI standard
4. Notification of European allowable spectrum
5. CTR (TBR) test
6. Electrical safety and health protection test (SAR assessment)
Red test data:
1. User manual
2. Circuit schematic diagram
3. Block diagram (also known as module function diagram)
4. Circuit wiring diagram (PCB layout)
5. PCB placement
6. Operation description (explanation of block diagram)
7. Component list (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, which enables the transmitting module to continuously transmit at a certain frequency point. Generally, BT and WiFi must be provided)
