Radio RF Regulatory Compliance Testing

In Europe, radio and wireless equipment will fall under the scope of  the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) and are subject to assessments against article 3.2 of the directive, which requires that radio equipment has efficient and effective use of the spectrum. Manufacturers can demonstrate this through the application of ETSI standards. 

Element can commonly test products to the most frequently used harmonized standards:

• ETSI EN 300 328 covering Zigbee, Bluetooth and 2.4GHz Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) 
• ETSI EN 300 220 covering short range devices operating in the 25 MHz to 1000 MHz range
• ETSI EN 300 330 covering short range devices operating in the 9 kHz to 25 MHz range
• ETSI EN 300 440 covering short range devices operating in the 1 GHz to 40 GHz range
• ETSI EN 301 893 covering 5 GHz RLAN / Wireless LAN (5 GHz Wi-Fi) 
• ETSI EN 302 502 covering 5.8 GHz Wireless Access Systems 
• ETSI EN 302 208 covering RFID operating in 865-868 MHz and 915-921 MHz 
• ETSI EN 301 406 covering DECT 
• ETSI EN 301 681 covering Satellite Earth Stations operating in 1.5 – 1.6 GHz bands.
