TABLE 8-1: RN4020 EUROPEAN COMPLIANCE TESTING
8.4 Australia
The Australia radio regulations do not provide a modu-
lar approval policy similar to the United States (FCC)
and Canada (IC). However, RN4020 module RF trans-
mitter test reports can be used in part to demonstrate
compliance in accordance with ACMA Radio communi-
cations “Short Rang e Devices” S tandard 2004 (The
Short Range Devices standard calls up the AS/NZS
4268:2008 industry standard). The RN4020 module
test reports can be used as part of the product certifica-
tion and compliance folder. For more information on the
RF transmitter test reports, contact Microchip Technol-
ogy Australia sales office.
To meet overall Australian final product compliance, the
developer must construct a compliance folder contain-
ing all relevant compliance test reports e.g. RF, EMC,
electrical safety a nd DoC (Declaration of Con formity)
etc. It is the responsibility of the integrator to know what
is required in the compliance folder for ACMA compli-
ance. All test reports are available on the RN4020
product web page at http://www.microchip.com. For
more information on Australia compliance, refer to the
Australian Communications and Media Authority web
site http://www.acma.gov.au/.
