Most manufacturers want to make their product radio enabled by integrating radio connectivity. This is often achieved by installing radio modules into their product. This presentation will explain radio module approvals and what a manufacturer must do when installing radio modules into their equipment.

 

Why should I attend?

Electronic equipment or devices are becoming increasingly connected, from a laptop to a toaster and more. The inclusion of radio modules to these products creates radio products, which require manufacturers to ensure a greater degree of compliance across all major regulatory bodies and end markets. But what exactly does this mean for manufacturers who need to test and certify their products?

Element’s Technical Director of Regulatory Approvals, Michael Derby, will provide an overview of testing and regulatory landscape for manufacturers, covering the end goal of a manufacturer and how regulatory approvals tie into this goal; what is a radio module and what does mean to add a pre-approved module to your product; what happens when you put your module into another product; and finally, we’ll look at this from the perspective of engineering and then legal compliance. 

 

What you'll learn

Key topics and takeaways: 

  • The end goal of regulatory approvals
  • The "What" and "Why" of Radio Modules
  • "Combined Equipment" compliance
  • Engineering and Legality
