RN52-DS
3.4 Australia
The Australia radio regulations do not provide a modu-
lar approval policy similar to the United States (FCC)
and Canada (IC). However, RN52 module RF transmit-
ter test reports can be used in part to demonstrate com-
pliance in accordance with ACMA Radio
communications “Short Range Devices” Standard
2004 (The Short Range Devices standard calls up the
AS/NZS 4268:2008 industry standard). The RN52
module test reports can be used as part of the product
certification and compliance folder. For more informa-
tion on the RF transmitter test reports, contact Micro-
chip Technology 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 and DoC (Declaration of Conformity)
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 RN52 product
web page at http://www.microchip.com. For more infor-
mation on Australia compliance, refer to the Australian
Communications and Media Authority web site
http://www.acma.gov.au/.
