Article 3.1(a): Health and Safety to persons

RED essential requirements


Article 3.1(a): Health and SafetyCovers also some categories of animals

RED essential requirements, cont.


Article 3.1b: EMC (Electromagnetic

compatibility)


➢ Emissions

➢ Immunity


Article 3.2: Radio Spectrum

Radio equipment falling under the scope of the RED are

excluded from both the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) and

Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (EMCD):

Therefore the LVD and EMCD do not apply. However the

RED refers to the essential requirements of the LVD and

EMCD.

EU-type

Examination

Certificate

EU-Type Examination Certificate

➢Notified Body & Number

➢Manufacturer’s name & address

➢ Identification of the product

➢Conclusion of the examination

➢Requirements covered by the examination

➢Conditions for validity


A notified body is an organization designated by an

EU country to assess the conformity of certain

products before being placed on the market.

What is a Notified Body?


Challenges

• Standards not yet listed as harmonized in OJ, but the

most common ones are now listed.

• Limited amount of harmonized standards in OJ

• 156 standards (15.12.2017)

• Not possible to use Module A due to missing harmonized

standards

• R&TTE standards do not give presumption of conformity

to RED automatically

• When there are no RED standards available, manufacturers

can use alternative conformity assessment procedures

through a Notified Body for their assessment.

• R&TTE standards

• Draft RED standards

• Other alternative conformity procedures

• When referring to R&TTE standards or draft RED standards

in the EU-Type Examination Certificate, the Commission

has recommended to put an expiry date on the certificate.

Time of urgency, how to act?



Thank you!
