Hello Group,
The new EMC Directive comes into force on Jan 20, 2005. Does anyone know if harmonized standards have been developed in support of the changes in the directive? See Item 4 below for more information. Best regards, Don Umbdenstock Tyco Safety Products/Sensormatic _____ From: Sid Sanders [mailto:s...@timco.cc] Sent: Tuesday, January 11, 2005 1:09 PM To: s...@timco.cc Subject: Extension of the DFS requirement for UNII, BPL publication in the Federal Register, OET clarifies measurement of Broadband emissions, new EMCD, new Automotive EMCD TIMCO ENGINEERING INC. TCB & FCB 849 NW State Road 45 FCC Approvals Newberry, Florida 32669 Industry Canada Approvals http://www.timcoengr.com <http://www.timcoengr.com/> Notified Body for Europe 888.472.2424 F 352.472.2030 email: t...@timcoengr.com January 10, 2005 SUBJECT: Extension of the DFS requirement for UNII, BPL publication in the Federal Register, OET clarifies measurement of Broadband emissions, new EMCD, new Automotive EMCD Hi, Here are some updates: 1/ FCC - Mandatory DFS requirement for UNII device on January 20, 2005: “Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) Requirements Mandatory All UNII device approved after January 20, 2005, must comply with the dynamic frequency selection (DFS) requirements in accordance with the adopted rules. See Section 15.37(l) of the FCC Rules. However, as of this date, the Commission and NTIA have not agreed to a suitable test procedure for determining compliance with these requirements. Manufacturers are getting nervous that no UNII devices will be able to be approved after January 20, 2005. This note is to reassure everyone that an extension is in the works. The Commission has no plans to discontinue Certification of UNII devices for the 5250 - 5350 MHz band that do not have DFS capability. If the item granting the extension is approved by the Commission by January 20, business will continue as usual. However if the Commission approval does not happen by January 20, the Lab may develop a grant Note Code to indicate that an extension is imminent and we are granting a UNII device based on the predicted extension. 2/ BPL: The new rules, FCC 04-245 (ET Docket No. 04-37), were published in the Federal Register on January 7, 2005. http://a2 7.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/01jan2005 800/edocket.access.gpo.gov/2005/pdf/05-246.pdf The application of the new rules is effective on February 7, 2005. 3/ OET clarifies measurement of Broadband Emissions: The Public Notice DA: 04-3946 was released on December 17, 2004. This PN clarifies the measurement of extremely narrow pulses generating wideband emissions, other than UWB emissions, using a pulse desensitization correction factor (PDCF). This document can be downloaded from our website, http://www.timcoengr.com/Download/FCC/DA-04-3946A1--PDCF.pdf 4/ New EMCD 2004/108/EC: It was published in the OJ of the EU on 12/31/2004: http://europa.eu.int/eur-lex/lex/LexUri erv/site/en/oj/2004/l_390/l_39020041231en00240037.pdf It looks like the implementation dates are as follows: - Entry into force: January 20, 2005 - Repeal date for 89/336/EEC: July 20, 2007 - Transitional provisions: For devices compliant with 89/336/EEC and marketed before July 20, 2009. 5/ New Automotive EMC Directive 2004/104/EC: It was published in the OJ of the EU on 11/13/2004. Relevant information concerning the overlapping of the EMC and R&TTE Directives for after market devices (e.g. LMR, etc.) can be found in section 3.2.9. It appears that testing and type approval are no longer required for devices that are not related to “immunity-related” functions. Now this is only a paperwork matter that still requires the involvement of technical service (EU appointed agency) to determine if the device is “immunity-related” or not. Please contact us, as we are used to work with a EU Agency that has an office in the USA. 6/ Extention of 25kHz for Part 90: This Memorandum appears to stay the January 1, 2005 deadline for 25kHz BW Transmitters in the 150-174 & 421-512MHz PLMR bands. The complete docket can be downloaded from our website, htt ://www.timcoengr.com/Download/FCC/FCC-0 -292A1_WTDocket99_87_3rd_MOO_25kHz_Extention.pdf . It appears that the deadline is postponed until this Third MO&O is resolved. If you are involved I recommend that you read the complete text of this report. If you want to be removed from this distribution please let me know.
