NINA-B4 series - Application note
UBX-20037320 - R03 Contents Page 6 of 19
C1-Public
NINA-B4 series modules comply with the Directive 2011/65/EU (EU RoHS 2) and its amendment
Directive (EU) 2015/863 (EU RoHS 3).
2.2 United States (FCC)
The NINA-B4 series modules have received Federal Communications Commission (FCC) CFR47
Telecommunications, Part 15 Subpart C “Intentional Radiators” in accordance with Part 15.247 and
Modular Transmitter approval in accordance with Part 15.212.
The modular approval of NINA-B4 series allows an end-product manufacturer to integrate the module
into an existing product without the need of additional testing or equipment authorization for the
transmitter function provided by NINA-B4, provided no changes or modifications are made to the
module circuitry. Changes or modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
The end-user must comply with all instructions provided by the Grantee, which indicate installation
and/or operating conditions necessary for compliance.
The finished product is required to comply with all applicable FCC equipment authorizations
regulations, requirements and equipment functions not associated with the transmitter module
portion. For example, compliance must be demonstrated to regulations for other transmitter
components within the host product; to requirements for unintentional radiators (Part 15 Subpart B
“Unintentional Radiators”), such as digital devices, computer peripherals, radio receivers, etc.; and to
additional authorization requirements for the non-transmitter functions on the transmitter module
(i.e., Verification, or Declaration of Conformity) (e.g., transmitter modules may also contain digital
logic functions) as appropriate.
2.2.1 FCC compliance
The NINA-B4 series modules are intended for OEM integrators only. The end-product must be
professionally installed in such way that only authorized antennas can be used.
The (OEM) module integrator must assure compliance of the end-product were the NINA-B4 module
is integrated.
For compliance with FCC Part 15B (§15.107, and if applicable §15.109 regulations, the end-product
manufacturer is required to show conformant operation of the installed module. The end-product
evaluation should also confirm that the intentional emissions (15C) from the module are compliant
during (fundamental / out-of-band) transmission. Additionally, the module integrator must apply the
appropriate equipment authorization (verification) for the end-product as defined in §15.101.
The details of the module implementation in the host device (end-product) should be confidential.
Integrators are reminded not to share the installation instructions of the module to the end-user of
the host device (end-product).
The host device (end-product), into which this RF Module is integrated must be labeled with an
auxiliary label stating the FCC ID of the RF Module, such as:
“Contains FCC ID: XPYNINAB4
"This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that might cause
undesired operation.”
The Integrator is responsible for satisfying SAR/ RF exposure requirements once the module has been
integrated into the host device.
