Aironet Wireless Communications, Inc. 9-3 Confidential and Proprietary
responsibility to contact the European local authorities, Competent Body or Notified Body test lab to
determine what applicable standards need to be applied for the product. The OEM can obtain the
appropriate approval numbers and copy of certifications of the radio from their Aironet Sales agent.
The OEM will be required to test the OEM product with the radio installed to the requirements of EN
55022, EN 50082-1 and the Low Voltage Directive. The PC4500/4800 is designed to meet EN 55022
Class B levels. However, any additional shielding or filtering required to bring the overall product into
compliance is the responsibility of the OEM.
If the customer must obtain a separate type approval number, the product will be required to be tested in
a European lab for both ETS 300.328 and ETS 300.826. The Low Voltage Directive testing does not
need to be done in Europe. Aironet will send the required confidential information directly to the
authorities and reference the OEM’s type approval test file number.
300.328 Type Approval
This is the actual test of the radio and antenna system for approval to be used in the European Radio
Spectrum. The lab will do one complete test and then prepare the necessary number of reports that are
required for submission in each country to obtain approval. The test labs can provide the address and
contacts for each country’s regulatory authority. Type approval can take from 5 weeks to 8 months or
more depending on the country.
ETS 300.826 CE Mark Approval
Depending on the product, the Notified Body lab will test the entire OEM product to the required EMC
standard. The lab will then submit one report to the local authority, which will then issue the CE mark
for the product that will be accepted in the other EC countries. The tests can include the following but
are not limited to:
EN 55022 Line Conducted
EN 1000-4-2 Electrostatic Discharge
EN 1000-4-3 RF Field Immunity (80MHz to 1GHz)
EN 1000-4-4 Electrical Fast Transient
EN 1000-4-5 Surge / Transient
EN 1000-4-6 Line Conducted Immunity (150kHz to 80MHz)
EN 1000-4-11 Voltage Transients
EN 6001-3-2 Power Line Harmonics
EN 6001-3-3 Voltage Flicker
EN 60950 Low Voltage Directive
This series of tests can be done in the US or Canada. It is recommended but not necessary to have it
done at a UL or CSA approved lab. Upon completion of the testing, file a copy with the local European
representative.
