Understanding EU Harmonized Standards with Restrictions & Compliance Routes: Excerpt
This excerpt provides an overview of the challenges associated with EU Harmonized Standards that include restrictions, highlighting the need for Notified Body involvement and the steps required to navigate the certification process.
"Manufacturers of radio equipment, or equipment containing any operation as radio communication or radio determination, must apply the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) to their product when CE marking to place that equipment onto the market in the European Union (EU).
This paper is focused on the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) and is intended to give a simple overview of the situation when EN standards become harmonized in the EU, but with a restriction on the Official Journal. This is seen with radio standards such as EN 300 440 and EN 301 908-13, and most recently with the EN 18031 cyber security standards. "
