9.3 Europe
The RN4678 module is a Radio Equipment Directive
(RED) assessed radio module that is CE marked and
has been manufactured and tested with the intention of
being integrated into a final product.
The RN4678 module has been tested to RED 2014/53/
EU Essential Requirements for Health and Safety (Arti
-
cle (3.1(a)), Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) (Arti-
cle 3.1(b)), and Radio (Article 3.2) and are summarized
in
Table 9-1 European Compliance Testing.
The ETSI provides guidance on modular devices in
“Guide to the application of harmonised standards cov
-
ering articles 3.1b and 3.2 of the RED 2014/53/EU
(RED) to multi-radio and combined radio and non-radio
equipment” document available at
www.etsi.org.
9.3.1 LABELING AND USER
INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS
The label on the final product which contains the
RN4678 module must follow CE marking requirements.
9.3.2 CONFORMITY ASSESSMENT
From ETSI Guidance Note EG 203367, section 6.1
Non-radio products are combined with a radio product:
If the manufacturer of the combined equipment installs
the radio product in a host non-radio product in equiva
-
lent assessment conditions (i.e. host equivalent to the
one used for the assessment of the radio product) and
according to the installation instructions for the radio
product, then no additional assessment of the com
-
bined equipment against article 3.2 of the RED is
required
The European Compliance Testing listed in Ta ble 9-1,
was performed using the integral ceramic chip
antenna.
9.3.2.1 SIMPLIFIED EU DECLARATION OF
CONFORMITY
Hereby, Microchip Technology Inc. declares that the
radio equipment type RN4678 is in compliance with
Directive 2014/53/EU.
The full text of the EU declaration of conformity, for this
product, is available at:

design-centers/wireless-connectivity.
Note: To maintain conformance to the testing
listed in
Table 9-1, the module shall be
installed in accordance with the installa-
tion instructions in this data sheet and
shall not be modified.


When integrating a radio module into a
completed product the integrator
becomes the manufacturer of the final
product and is therefore responsible for
demonstrating compliance of the final
product with the essential requirements
against the RED.
