4.7 Australian Conformance
The u-blox SARA-R410M-02B, SARA-R410M-83B and SARA-R412M-02B modules are compliant
with the applicable standards made by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA).
The devices are “solder-down" modules (soldered to the PCB of the final product) and they do not have
a stand-alone function. The devices are not within the scope of any RCM Labelling notice. The devices
are excluded under Schedule 2 of the ACMA Telecommunications Labelling Notice 2015 and also by
Schedule 2 of the EMC Labelling Notice.
☞ Responsibility for compliance with any ACMA RCM Labelling notice rests solely with the integrator
of the u-blox SARA-R410M-02B, SARA-R410M-83B and SARA-R412M-02B modules.
☞ The antenna used for the SARA-R410M-02B, SARA-R410M-83B and SARA-R412M-02B modules
must not be closer than 20 cm to the nearest person, otherwise Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
evaluation is required to prevent possible RF exposure in excess of the ARPANSA-RSP3 limits.
4.8 GITEKI Japan
• SARA-R410M-02B, SARA-R410M-63B
T D180083003
R 003-180155
The gain of the system antenna used for SARA-R410M-02B, SARA-R410M-63B modules must not
exceed 3 dBi to comply with Japan Technical Standard Conformity Certification (GITEKI Certification)
requirements.
Additionally, the antenna used in the end-device system for SARA-R410M-02B, SARA-R410M-63B
modules have to be listed on the technology conformity certified Antenna list of the related module.
Please contact u-blox for more information about how to add the antenna used in the end-device
system into the Antenna list of the related module.
