Europe (CE-RED)
This module is a Radio Equipment Directive assessed
radio module that is CE complaint and have been
manufactured and tested with the intention of being
integrated into a final product.
According to the RED every final product that inclu-
des a radio module is also a radio product which falls
under the scope of the RED. This means that OEM
and host manufacturers are ultimately responsible for
the compliance of the host and the module. The final
product must be reassessed against all of the essenti-
al requirements of the RED before it can be placed on
the EU market. This includes reassessing the module
for compliance against the following RED articles:
– Article 3.1( a ) : Health and safety
– Article 3.1( b ) : Electromagnetic compatibility ( EMC )
– Article 3.2 : Efficient use of radio spectrum ( RF )
The RED knows different conformity assessment
procedures to show compliance against the essential
requirements (See RED Guide, chapter 2.6b). As long
as the radio module can show compliance to Article
3.2 by the use of a harmonized standard, which is
listed in the official journal of the EU (OJEU), it is not
necessary to do an EU type examination for the final
radio product by a notified body. In this case it is
possible to demonstrate conformity according to the
essential requirements of the RED by using Module A
(Annex II of the RED), which allows to show conformi-
ty by internal production control.
As long as a harmonized standard listed in
the OJEU can be used to demonstrate con-
formity in accordance with Article 3.2 of the
RED, it is possible to carry out the CE certi-
fication in self-declaration without the invol-
vement of a notified body.
The K-LD7 shows compliance against the Article 3.2
by the use of the standard EN 300 440 which is a
harmonized standard listed in the OJEU, what gives
the possibility to show conformity by internal produc-
tion control.
An OEM integrator can show compliance to article
3.1(a) and 3.1(b) for the final product by doing internal
or external tests and following the Module A (Annex II
of the RED) assessment procedure. To show com-
pliance against article 3.2 it is possible to reuse the
assessment of the K-LD7 as long as it is the only ra-
dio module in the final product or if the integrator can
guarantee that only one radio module is operating at
the same time. Test reports of the K-LD7 are available
on request.
The ETSI guide EG 203 367 provides de-
tailed guidance on the application of harmo-
nized standards to multi-radio and combined
equipment to demonstrate conformity.
RF Exposure Information (MPE)
This device has been tested and meets applicable
limits for Radio Frequency (RF) exposure. A detailed
calculation to show compliance to the RED Article
3.1(a) is available on request.
