11. Radio certification
11.1. United States (FCC)
The RaspBee contains the radio module ‘deRFmega256-23M12’, which is certified according
to FCC part 15. The FCC-ID of the radio module deRFmega256-23M12 is
XVV-MEGA23M12 and is printed on a visible permanently affixed label on the top of the
module’s RF shielding.
This equipment 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 may cause undesired operation
(FCC 15.19). The internal / external antenna(s) used for this mobile transmitter must provide
a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user's authority to
operate this equipment (FCC section 15.21).
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential
area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct
the interference at their own expense (FCC section 15.105).
11.2. European Union (ETSI)
The RaspBee is conform for use in European Union countries.
If the RaspBee is incorporated into a product, the manufacturer must ensure compliance of
the final product to the European harmonized EMC and low-voltage/safety standards. A
Declaration of Conformity must be issued for each of these standards and kept on file as
described in Annex II of the R&TTE Directive.
The manufacturer must maintain a copy of the RaspBee documentation and ensure the final
product does not exceed the specified power ratings, antenna specifications, and/or
installation requirements as specified in the user manual. If any of these specifications are
exceeded in the final product, a submission must be made to a notified body for compliance
testing to all required standards.
The CE marking must be affixed to a visible location on the OEM product. The CE mark shall
consist of the initials "CE" taking the following form:
 If the CE marking is reduced or enlarged, the proportions must be respected.
 The CE marking must have a height of at least 5 mm except where this is not possible on
account of the nature of the apparatus.
 The CE marking must be affixed visibly, legibly, and indelibly.
More detailed information about CE marking requirements can be found in [6].
