I agree. We use the same "regulatory ID" number on a product which include variants not affecting the rf properties. We see no reason to apply to the Notified Body for an opinion of compliance nor to notify the PTTs when a new variant is marketed where the rf properties have not changed. That new variant will have the same ID number that was previously notified to the PTTs,

Lets say I had some SRD devices that have gone through the notification period without comment. At some later point I decide to introduce further devices in the line. The radios are not identical schematically but all the RF characteristics are identical, including "percentage on" time. The new devices are all type tested, EMC and safety tested in exactly the same manner as the devices previously notified and will be used in the same application. My proposal at that point would be to not wait for 4 weeks to expire on notification but to market the devices immediately. My reasoning for this is that a country can only object to a device being marketed on "harm to the network" and then follow the procedure in Article 9.5 for banning the device. Since they did not happen previously, they cannot object now. I know that attitude might put some regulatory noses out of joint but does anyone see a problem with the argument.
