Wireless Device CE Certification RED Directive

Every product's production process comes with corresponding certification regulations. As is widely known, electronic and electrical products entering the EU market require mandatory CE certification. The CE certification for wireless products like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi is also known as RTTE certification, with the directive numbered 15/5/EC. On May 22, 2014, the EU announced the new Radio Equipment Directive (EU) 2014/53 to replace the original Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive 1995/5/EC, updating the RTTE certification to CE-RED certification.

CE-RED Directive Testing Standards:

1. For operating frequencies: 25MHz-1000MHz (27MHz, 433MHz, 868MHz) products:

   - EN 300440 (RF Testing)

   - EN 301 489-7 (EMC Testing)

   - EN 60950-1 (LVD Safety Testing)

   - EN 50371 (Harm)

2. For operating frequencies: 1000MHz-40GHz (27MHz, 433MHz, 868MHz) products:

   - EN 300440 (RF Testing)

   - EN 301 489-7 (EMC Testing)

   - EN 60950-1 (LVD Safety Testing)

   - EN 50371 (Harm)

3. For operating frequencies in the GSM band (mobile phones, GPS, terminals):

   - EN 301 511 (RF Testing)

   - EN 301 489-7 (EMC Testing)

   - EN 50360: 2001

   - EN 62209-1: 2006 (SAR Testing)

   - EN 60950-1 (LVD Safety Testing)

4. For operating frequencies in the ISM band (routers, Bluetooth headsets, Bluetooth speakers, etc.):

   - EN 300328 (RF Testing)

   - EN 301 489-17 (EMC Testing)

   - EN 60950-1 (LVD Safety Testing)

   - EN 62311 (Harm)

CE Certification Costs for Wireless Electronic Products:

The pricing for such products is based on the wireless communication frequency bands. Some products have multiple wireless bands, so the costs need to be added up accordingly. Generally, the CE certification for wireless products follows the Wireless Directive (RED Directive). The specific CE certification cost requires detailed wireless information from the client to provide a quote.

Documents Required for CE-RED Certification:

1. User Manual

2. Circuit Schematic

3. Block Diagram (also known as Functional Diagram)

4. PCB Layout

5. PCB Placement Diagram

6. Operational Description (Explanation of the Block Diagram)

7. Bill of Materials (BOM List)

8. Label

9. Antenna Specifications (or Antenna Gain Chart)

10. LVD Report for the Charger

11. Fixed Frequency Software (also called Fixed Frequency Program). Typically, the client must provide BT and Wi-Fi, enabling the transmission module to continuously transmit at specific frequency points.
