Wireless electronic products exported to the EU need to meet a series of EU regulations and standards, of which CE certification is one of the important requirements. The CE mark indicates compliance with a series of EU directives on safety, health, environmental protection and consumer protection.
The EU Directive for CE certification of wireless products is: The Radio Equipment Directive, referred to as the RED Directive; RED directive belongs to one of the CE certification directives, RED (Radio Equipment Directive) certification is one of the European Union's mandatory CE certification mode for wireless product certification, with wireless transmission frequency products: tablet computers, wireless doorbells, Bluetooth devices, WiFi equipment, wireless alarm equipment, radio receiving and transmission equipment, computers, etc.
EU CE-RED Certified Product Range:
1. Short-range wireless remote control products (SRD) such as: remote control toy cars, remote control alarm systems, remote control doorbells, remote control switches, remote control mice, keyboards, etc.;
2. Professional radio remote control products (PMR) such as professional wireless walkie-talkies, wireless microphones, etc.;
3. Wireless **CTO, CT1, CT1;
4. ISDN (digital ** product);
5. DECT (Enhanced Digital Wireless**).
6. Mobile phone GSM, CDMA test;
7. Bluetooth products such as: Bluetooth headset;
8. Inductive data transmission equipment with working frequency < 9 kHz;
9. Wireless broadcasting receiver equipment.
CE certification RED directive test items:
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Testing:
Emission test: Ensure that the device does not interfere with other devices in the transmitting state.
Anti-interference test: Ensure that the device can resist external electromagnetic interference in the receiving state.
Electrical Disturbance Test: Evaluates the level of electromagnetic disturbance generated by the equipment.
Radiated Disturbance Test: Measure the electromagnetic energy emitted by a device.
Conductivity Disturbance Test: Measure the disturbance propagated through power and signal lines.
Radio Spectrum Use Test:
Spectrum use testing: to ensure that the equipment is operating correctly within the specified frequency band and does not occupy unnecessary frequency bands.
Power Measurement: Verify that the transmit power of the device meets the specified limits.
Frequency stability test: Ensure that the device can maintain the correct frequency under different conditions.
Occupied bandwidth test: Measure the width of the frequency band occupied by the signal transmitted by the device.
Radio Performance Testing:
Signal quality and transmission efficiency testing.
Connectivity and compatibility testing.
Roaming and handover performance testing.
Safety & Health Testing:
Ensure that the device is not harmful to human health during use.
Ensure that the equipment does not pollute the environment.
Declaration of Conformity and Labeling:
Prepare and sign a declaration of conformity certifying that the product meets the requirements of the RED Directive.
Affixing the CE mark to the product indicates that the product has complied with EU regulations.
User Manuals & Documentation:
Provide a user manual with information on how to properly use and maintain the product.
Provide technical documentation of the product, including design files and test reports.
Information required for CE-RED certification:
1.operational description;
2.block diagram (all crystal oscillators and crystal frequencies need to be drawn, and consistent with the circuit diagram);
3.user manual instruction manual;
4.Schematics circuit diagram (must be consistent with the crystal frequency, number of crystals, and crystal position in the block diagram).
5.label;
6.technical parameters of the wireless module (frequency range, number of channels, transmit power, antenna gain, modulation mode, etc.);
Validity period of CE certificate
CE is a mandatory requirement of the European Union for electronic and electrical products, all kinds of products have different test standards, the validity period of CE certificate, the general standard has not been updated, it can continue to be used after the standard is updated, there will be a period of time for manufacturers to replace the new standard test during this time, and it will become invalid after this transition period. The general transition period is 1-2 years.
All products exported to the EU must pass CE certification, and the products must have CE marks on them before they can be sold in the EU market. Otherwise, there will be an investigation and punishment, and the recall will be fined.
