Hi Chet,
ETSI did publish EN 302 066 V2.1.1 (2017-01) for application under the RED, and contains receiver requirements as specified in TS 103 361 V1.1.1 (2016-03) Clause 9. Why it was not published as a harmonized standard under the RED is a good question and I assume only a handful of people actually know why. My educated guess is because the Commission determined that the standard did not properly address or meet the spirit of the receiver requirements as defined in the RED. A new versions of the standard is in the final draft stage as of June 20, 2018. That may be tracked at the following link https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/workProgram/Report_Schedule.asp?WKI_ID=53 489 Considering how specialized GPR technology is and containing only a handful of manufacturers across the entire world, I don't know how much support ETSI has had in developing the new standards under the RED and thus the delays in getting an acceptable standard developed. Yes technically that means a Notified Body must be used to address the receiver requirements. Larry Stillings Compliance Worldwide, Inc. From: Chester Summers [mailto:csummers@CHARLESMACHINE.WORKS] Sent: Monday, July 09, 2018 5:57 PM To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: [PSES] ETSI EN 302 066-2 & the RED Dear Group, ETSI EN 302 066-2 v1.2.1 is published in the RED's HS list, with the following note: "This harmonised standard does not address requirements relating to receiver performance parameters and does not confer a presumption of conformity as regards those parameters." EN 302 066-2 doesn't contain a single reference to receivers or receiver testing. Normative Ref EN 302 066-1 (which is NOT published in OJ, BTW...) only mentions "receiver" in terms of the spectrum analyzer used to measure emissions. EN 302 066-2 v1.2.1 has not changed from R&TTE to RED. *How then, shall a GPR product compliant to R&TTE satisfy the RED, when the most relevant product family standards don't include product receiver specification or testing? *Is the OJ note intended to force manufacturers to the Notified Body? Can R&TTE and RED both be referenced on a DoC in this case? I don't believe so, after June 2017. This particular GPR imaging system can be ordered with a tablet PC user interface, else the customer provides his own tablet meeting required specs. Similar systems are marketed this way. *Is the OJ note meant to address or regulate this practice, so that the tablet PC's WiFi transceiver must be assessed as part of the "completed radio product?" Guidance & UWB insight greatly appreciated here!
