Meet EMC requirements for RED 3.1(b)
RED EMC testing
Regulatory EMC testing is a crucial requirement for wireless devices entering the EU market under the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) 2014/53/EU. This directive mandates that all devices with wireless functionality must undergo testing to ensure compliance with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards, specifically RED 3.1(b).
Devices that require RED 3.1(b) EMC compliance include:
- Smartphones
- Tablets
- Laptops
- Smartwatches and other wearable devices
- IoT-connected home appliances
- Wireless printers
- Smart TVs, gaming controllers and other home entertainment equipment
- Wireless security cameras
- Wireless baby monitors
- WLAN routers
- UAV drones
These devices must demonstrate compliance from both product and wireless functionality aspects. For example, EV charging stations are increasingly connected to cloud-based services via wireless technologies. As such, these stations need to meet EMC standards for both their charging systems and wireless connectivity.
Today, many wireless devices incorporate multiple wireless technologies. For example, a smartphone often includes cellular technologies (2G/3G/4G/5G), Wi Fi, Bluetooth and ultrawideband (UWB). Each of these technologies require independent compliance testing. This ensures that devices perform as expected without causing interference, maintaining reliable operation in real-world environments.
