Based on the 2009/C 197/03, it appears that manufacturers are granted an extra
year before their products must meet the requirements of EN55022:2006+A1:2007
which requires testing in 1-6GHz with the 4dB tighter limits compared to FCC
in the frequency range 1-3GHz. The new deadline is 1 October 2011.
I haven't heard of any issues about floor-standing equipment. We have
floor-standing equipment and the testing goes smoothly. However, every
information technology manufacturer was under a lot of time pressure to test
already released products to the new test methodology and limits -- especially
if you have a big product line. With the limits at 1-3GHz being 4dB tighter
than FCC, some products may require fixes or an accelerated End-of-Life (EOL)
decision. This one year delay gives manufacturers more time to perform the
testing and make those decisions.
I have some related questions:
1. Will Japan VCCI delay its 1 October 2010 deadline to match Europe?
2. Will China CCC delay its 1 March 2011 deadline to still give an extra five
months time after the Europe deadline to go through the in-country test and
bureaucracy effort to update the CCC approvals? I would hope the 1-6GHz test
requirement would be delayed to at least 1 March 2012.
3. Will China CCC delay its 1 September 2010 deadline to upgrade CCC
approvals to include the testing of telecommunications ports? Unfortunately,
if this deadline is not extended, we will still have to rush to send all our
products to China for testing even if the 1-6GHz test requirement is delayed.
Thanks.
